Plainsong and the Rise of European Music

on BBC Radio 3

Palestrina
The last of 28 programmes devised and introduced by Basil Lam
The series ends with the composer long regarded as the supreme exponent of choral polyphony. whose influence on later music is unmatched by that of any other Renaissance master, If the re-discovery of his great contemporaries means that he can no longer be regarded as unequalled, Palestrina's monumental achievement, notably in the Masses and the finest Motets still remains unsurpassed.
SCHOLA POLYPHONICA director HENRY WASHINGTON (Repeated: Tues 2 Jan)
