At times venerated, at times dismissed, the music of Palestrina has held a special, complicated place in the history of music performance and theory, from the composer's own time to the present day. Whatever one's opinion, it is clear that Palestrina was among the most accomplished composers of his time, adapting the traditions of Franco-Flemish polyphony to the Roman school of the late 16th century. Convivium Musicum offers a program of works by Palestrina that demonstrates his talent in a variety of compositional practices and styles. No matter you previous opinion or exposure to Palestrina's work, you'll find something to love in this concert, with reception following.
