The solemnity of Lent and the contemplation of human mortality have often inspired music imbued with deep emotion and exquisite beauty. Two prime examples by contemporaries at the close of the Renaissance—the director of a Portuguese seminary and a guilt-ridden Italian prince—are Lôbo’s Requiem and the Tenebrae of Gesualdo. Both display elaborate counterpoint but in utterly different harmonic language.

For further contrast, they sing a set of beautifully lyric motets by the Romantic composer Josef Rheinberger from tiny Liechtenstein. They finish this extraordinary a cappella concert with works by two living composers -- England’s John Tavener and the Bay Area’s own Frank Ferko. There will be a pre-concert lecture thirty minutes prior to the performance.
