Description

We are proud of this addition to our series of recordings: Solemn Mass of the Epiphany. Along with the proper Gregorian chants for this beloved feast celebrated on the twelfth day of Christmas, the music for this festive service includes Renaissance master Orlando di Lasso’s sumptuous Missa Bell’ Amfitrit’ altera for double choir and motets by Palestrina and Lasso—all performed by the world-renowned Schola Cantorum of the Saint Gregory Society in honor of the King of Kings. This recording will make a truly unique and memorable gift.
