A Requiem for Philip II

Music by Morales and Lobo

Directed by Michael Stewart
Sacred Heart Cathedral
Hill Street
Wellington

We conclude our 2009 series with a grand reconstruction of the funeral music for Philip II, King of Spain from 1556-1598 and the bringer of the ‘Golden Age’ of artistic endeavour to the Iberian Peninsular. The poignant Missa pro Defunctis of Cristobal Morales will be performed alongside the motet Versa est in luctum by Alonso Lobo.
