Homage to Gombert
Sunday, 11 March 2018, 3:30pm
St Ambrose Church, Woodend
(This concert was originally performed Saturday 3 March 2018 8:00 pm at Our Lady of Victories Basilica, Camberwell)
This program features three works that are new to our repertoire, in company with a few past favourites. The major work is a Mass by the little-known Philippe Rogier based on a motet by Gombert. This beautiful work suggests that Rogier might hold a rather more significant place in music history if the majority of his output had not been destroyed in the Lisbon earthquake and tsunami of 1 November 1755.
Nicolas Gombert Magnificat quarti toni
