This renaissance choral music program includes compositions by John Sheppard and Simone Molinaro. 2015 marks the assumed 500th anniversary of the birth of the English composer John Sheppard and the 400th anniversary of the death of the Italian composer Simone Molinaro. Both Sheppard and Molinaro embody the simultaneously decadent and fragile spirit of the Renaissance, and their music is a window on an age that was self-indulgently pious and viscerally concerned with ecclesiastical beauty.
