3 Oct - The Gesualdo Six

Barber Lunchtime Concert

  • Owain Park director
  • Guy James, Alasdair Austin countertenor
  • Joseph Wicks, Josh Cooter tenor
  • Simon Grant baritone

The Gesualdo Six explore the transmission of sacred choral traditions in Renaissance Europe, shaped by patronage, pedagogy, and cultural exchange. At its core is the Contenance Angloise - a distinctive English style of rich consonance, flowing melodies, and controlled dissonance that influenced continental composers.

Programme includes:

  • Binchois Da pacem, Domine
  • Dunstaple Veni sancte Spiritus
  • Du Fay Nuper rosarum flores
  • Mouton Tota pulchra es
  • Byrd Infelix Ego: iii. Ad te igitur
