The Path to Salvation

Musiekgebouw

Muziekgebouw, Amsterdam, Netherlands

Passiontide and Holy Week inspired the composers of the Renaissance to some of their most expressive and beautiful music. Stile Antico’s programme leads the listener through this turbulent emotional landscape, from the acclamation of the crowd on Palm Sunday to the desolation of Christ abandoned, the agony of the crucifixion, the wonder of the empty tomb, and finally the joy of Easter morning. Many of the finest composers of the period are represented in a selection of music by turns deeply introspective, searingly intense, and thrillingly exuberant, as befits the unfolding story. At the heart of this richly rewarding journey is the quintessential Passiontide work: Allegri’s beloved Miserere, written for Holy Week performance at the Sistine Chapel.
