The London Oratory Schola Cantorum, Charles Cole (conductor)
Palestrina’s setting of the Epiphany text Surge, illuminare, Jerusalem was published in 1575 a few years after he began his second tenure as maestro of the Cappella Giulia, the Choir of St Peter’s Basilica—a position he held until his death. The ascending lines of the opening portray the text—‘Arise’—and Palestrina demonstrates his characteristic mastery of double-choir antiphonal effects.
