La Cappella Musicale Della Cattedrale Di Vercelli - Missa Jubilate - Magnificat Sexti Toni

Complex research in the manuscripts of the Vercelli archives has led to the attribution of known and unknown works to Luca Marenzio, one of the great masters of the late Renaissance in Italy. These works, recorded for the first time here, share a common thread: the composer's activity in Rome and Poland. Missa Jubilate, a parody mass, is one of the most sumptuous creations of it's time and a masterpiece of melodic invention whilst Magnificat sexti toni exemplifies Marenzio's sophisticated use of echo effects. Both versions of Magnificat octavi toni and Jubilate Deo are also premiere recordings. On this recording, Don Denis Silano leads La Cappella Musicale della Cattedrale di Vercelli.
