The Sixteen Choir
Palestrina: Teacher and Warrior
Palestrina was not the first to use L'homme armé, ‘The Armed Man’, a popular medieval chanson, as the foundation for a setting of the Latin Mass. Yet his work casts a lasting spell over the listener with its austerely beautiful polyphony, as Harry Christophers and The Sixteen show in their latest homage to the Italian composer 500 years after his birth.
