Pomerium returns to The Cloisters for an exploration of the great Renaissance choral music for Passiontide and Easter.  The program progresses from Palm Sunday to Easter Day, with emphasis on music for Holy Thursday and Good Friday.  Stylistically, the progression leads from chant to its elaborations by Du Fay and Senfl, to the increasingly grand and expressive motets of Lassus, Monteverdi, Gesualdo, and Byrd.  Expressively, the program moves from the fervent and austere music associated with the Crucifixion to the splendid celebrations of the Resurrection.
