Holy Week, as the culmination of the Passion season, inspired Renaissance composers to write some of their most expressive and also beautiful works. Stile Antico, the fine English vocal ensemble for early music, thus treads a "path to redemption." This one, with motets by English, Flemish, and Italian masters, takes us from the jubilation of the people on Palm Sunday through the days of Jesus' agony to the joy of Easter morning. The twelve singers will focus on the famous "Miserere" by Gregorio Allegri, which for a long time could only be heard in the Sistine Chapel, where it impressed travelers from Mozart – who wrote it down from memory after hearing it – to Mendelssohn.
