This album, the second in a series of twelve that will encompass all of Morales’s Masses and Magnificats, takes as its centrepiece his Requiem, or Missa pro defunctis, in five voices, published in his second book of Masses of 1544 and thus surely written during his time in Rome.
Morales Project Volume 2 – our recording of the famous 5-voice Requiem & Officium defunctorum – is now available for purchase! It’s been a while since the Missa Mille regretz album came out, and so we’re thrilled that Volume 2 is finally available.
Be sure to join us on Saturday 3rd May at Little St Mary’s when we will be performing music by Morales conducted by Eamonn Dougan. There’s the Missa Ave Maria (the mass with no altos!) and Missa Si bona suscepimus, made famous by The Tallis Scholars many years ago. Tickets from bit.ly/DPMorales4.
