The Capilla Flamenca was perhaps the most glorious choir ever assembled. A gift from a queen to her grandson, Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, the elite group of singers and composers dazzled the courts and cathedrals of Spain for centuries with their sublime voices and stellar music. Now, Seraphic Fire—led by guest conductor Amanda Quist—will bring their legacy to life in a stunning tribute to the Capilla Flamenca. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to witness the splendor of a golden age of choral music.

This group of unaccompanied mixed voices, formed in 2005, will pick up where they left off in 2011, with a concert of two gorgeous, rarely-heard, complete masses — one by Josquin des Prez (Une Mousse de Biscaye), and the other by Heinrich Isaac (Een vrolic wesen). This music demonstrates that the rules of classical harmony and counterpoint of the Baroque, Classic, and early Romantic periods were already well established and beautifully executed by Renaissance composers before 1500.
