Listen

This week, we'll hear music that might have been heard at the court of Pope Leo X, who was born Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici in 1475. We'll hear a motet in Leo's honor by Andreas de Silva, plus works by Jean Mouton, whose music the pope admired. We'll hear performances by Cappella Pratensis, plus selections from The Lion's Ear featuring La Morra.
