Tomorrow Friday at 7 p.m., the Fundación Carlos de Amberes, in collaboration with Compañía Garcilasos, invites you to enjoy the fourth concert of the V Renacen Festival of music and arts from the Renaissance to the Baroque. On this occasion, the exceptional ensemble In Hora Sexta presents its concert Neerlándica Voces. Polyphony of the Netherlands, in an incomparable setting: the Foundation’s Chapel.
The prolific musical current that originated in the vast territory of the Duchy of Burgundy is configured with a cosmopolitan vocation, internationalising and spreading throughout Europe. This stylistic and cultural amalgam, encouraged by the expansionist zeal of its rulers, but also by the humanist trend, is the common denominator of the composers of these two centuries included in the concert, and is manifested in their belonging to different ethnic and linguistic entities, as well as their continuous stays in foreign courts, sponsored by the powerful patrons of the time.
In Hora Sexta is a vocal chamber group specialising in Renaissance and early Baroque music and in strictly contemporary music of the 20th and 21st centuries, with the vocal and musical training that these projects require. The concert will feature pieces by Guillaume Dufay (c. 1400 – 1474), Johannes Verhulst (1816 – 1891), Josquin des Prez (1445 – 1521), Alexander Voormolen (1895 – 1980), Heinrich Isaac (c.1450 – 1517), Vic Nees (1936 – 2013), Clemens non Papa (c.1510 – 1556), Rudi Tas (1957) and Philippe de Monte (1521 – 1603).
