A Harmonious Celebration: Exploring the Spiritual and Cultural Richness of Early Music in Columbus

Early Music in Columbus

2025 marks the 500th anniversary of the birth of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, who ranks among the most influential figures of the Renaissance. He expertly adapted the prevailing style of Franco-Flemish polyphony to the aesthetic ideals of the Catholic Church during the Counter-Reformation. Palestrina’s polyphony seamlessly blends multiple voices to produce music that is transcendent in its complexity and tonal clarity.
