Online box office closes at 11am on Sat 3rd May. Thereafter tickets are available on the door. Cristóbal de Morales (c.1500-1553) was the first Spanish composer to enjoy an international reputation. After early choirmaster posts in Spain, he was appointed to the Papal Choir in Rome in 1535 by Pope Paul III. He stayed there for ten years, publishing eight Magnificats and fifteen Masses. On his return to Spain he took up a series of prominent choirmasterships, but poor health and a surly disposition meant he never stayed anywhere long, and he died, possibly from malaria, in 1553. Morales’ Masses are his greatest achievement. In this concert the men of DE PROFUNDIS perform two outstanding examples - one based on the famous plainchant tune Ave Maria, and the other a sumptous setting for six voices based on Verdelot's heartfelt motet Si bona suscepimus. The programme ends with the Magnificat tertii toni. This concert is the fourth instalment of an ambitious twelve-year project by De Profundis to perform and record the complete Masses and Magnificats by Morales, conducted by Robert Hollingworth and Eamonn Dougan. EAMONN DOUGAN is a renowned baritone who sings regularly with the Sixteen, I Fagiolini and Alamire. He is also Associate Conductor of the Sixteen, founding Director of Britten Sinfonia Voices, and a Visiting Professor to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama where he teaches ensemble singing. Along with Robert Hollingworth and Nicholas Mulroy he hosts Choral Chihuahua, a podcast series about all things choral. Information Source: De Profundis, conducted by Eamonn Dougan | eventbrite
