They say that the Devil has all the best tunes, and it's hard to disagree on hearing

this enthralling programme.

As Stile Antico traces the blurred boundary between sacred and secular music in

the Renaissance, we encounter risqué, racy chansons transformed by Lassus,

Morales and Victoria into devout Masses and Magnificats, and ribald folksongs

worked into prayerful polyphony by Dufay and Taverner.

Most shockingly of all, and in spite of the Church's disapproval, it was none other

than the Cardinal of Milan who commissioned sacred texts to be fitted to some of

Monteverdi's most frankly erotic madrigals, crowning this survey of three centuries

of superb music

Please request the most up(to(date version of this programme before going to print.
