Lucie Skeaping presents a concert given by the Huelgas Ensemble under their music director Paul van Nevel at Greyfriars Kirk in Edinburgh, as part of the 2009 Edinburgh International Festival.

The ensemble, which is named after a Cistercian monastery near Burgos in Spain, has been established since 1970 and has carved a reputation as one of the leading vocal ensembles in Europe. The group is particularly famous for its pioneering recordings of music by composers from the Franco-Flemish school, such as Nicholas Gombert and Pierre de Manchicourt.

This concert juxtaposes sacred music by two composers of different generations - Michael Praetorius and Bach. Arguably the most famous composers of the German chorale tradition, they based many of their compositions on the same basic material. Here, the eight voices and seven instrumentalists of the Huelgas Ensemble show how both composers treat the same texts, in very different ways.
