The Sixteen - Palestrina and Poulenc
From York Minster, Adam Tomlinson presents a concert given by The Sixteen as part of the 2017 York Early Music Festival, featuring sacred works by Poulenc and Palestrina.
Adam Tomlinson presents a concert of sacred works by Poulenc and Palestrina, given by The Sixteen and director Harry Christophers in the magnificent York Minster as part of their Choral Pilgrimage and this year's York Early Music Festival. Palestrina and Poulenc: two sacred masters separated by four centuries. Palestrina's Mass L'Homme Arm茅 is based on the popular song of the same name - a 16th-century reminder of the horror of war. Conflict also inspired Poulenc, who was deeply affected by the death of his composer friend Pierre-Octave Ferroud in an horrific car accident. His Salve Regina - one of a pair of motets - quietly expresses conveys reverence, penitence and, ultimately, hope. In contrast, Un soir de neige, composed in December 1944, juxtaposes the brutal beauty of nature with death and coldness - reflecting no doubt another bleak winter of occupation in his native France. The concluding 'Angus Dei' of his Mass in G also lays to rest any accusations of compositional flippancy, with its serene final utterance of "Dona nobis pacem" ("give us peace").
