About

The Flemish-born composer Giaches de Wert was one of the multitude of foreigners who dominated Italian music in the mid-to-late 16th-century. Due to his significance in Italy, his music had a marked influence not only on his contemporaries but also on future generations, particularly Monteverdi.

The highlight is Vox in Rama - a fitting end to a set in which de Wert successfully adapts his foremost stylistic qualities, employed so effectively in his madrigals, to the sacred genre.

As part of King's College Choir, the choral scholars sing in the chapel's daily worship services, which remain the choir's raison d'źtre, as well as maintaining a busy concert, recording and touring schedule. As Collegium Regale (Latin for King's College), the choral scholars perform independently of the choir, singing a repertoire that encompasses 15th Century sacred music, jazz, folksongs and pop.
