Soloists of the „Vokalkapelle“ of theTheatiner Church in Munich P. Robert Mehlhart OP, onductor and organ Christoph Eglhuber, lute
The vocal ensemble “Vokalkapelle der Theatinerkirche München” presents on this album the up to now unknown Missa Cantorum (missa of the singers). The musicologist Prof. Christian Leitmeir was able to assign this composition clearly to Orlando di Lasso, just in the year 2020. You can discover a very interesting relationship to Lassos well known Missa Venatorum (Missa of the hunters). Still 150 years later, this Missa Venatorum was performed regularly by Lassos successor Giuseppe Bernabei, musical director of the royal seat in Munich. Bernabei added a third line to the originally two-part Benedictus of the Missa Venatorum, in a stylistically very well fit in way. In the original autograph you can find this third line by the handwriting of Barnabei, which is a further document of the reception history of this composition in munich, many years after the death of Lasso. This three-part Benedictus as well as the Missa Cantorum are world premiere recordings on this Album.
