Music to illustrate the Golden Age: a selection of motets from sixteenth-century Spain culminating in Alonso Lobo’s great funerary ode for Philip II, ‘Versa est in luctum’.

“The Schola may be the Brompton Oratory’s parish choir but they are also a school ensemble whose back lines are made up of boys aged 18 and under, with the support of just six adult lay clerks. The effect is impressively mature and well blended, the bright, sweet top-line sound balanced to and shaped by the lighter lower voices.”
