Ratas del Viejo Mundo
Ratas del viejo Mundo looks behind the scenes of the Renaissance with work by Pierre de la Rue: creator of polyphony that is as monumental as it is personal. His Missa Conceptio tua honours the Immaculate Conception of Mary with grandiose counterpoint. But De la Rue also shows his finesse in more modest genres – such as the chanson. It’s no wonder that lutenists improvised on his melodies to their heart's content. The freedoms of the time resonate in this collusion between strings and voices.
