Members of Ex Cathedra perform sacred and secular music from Italy inspired by the 1588 publication Musica Transalpina. The programme includes the gorgeously rich, emotional Madrigals of Claudio Monteverdi and Luca Marenzio and music by Francesco Foggia.

Foggia Kyrie - Missa Tre pastorelli
Monteverdi O Jesu mea vita (Si ch’io vorrei morire)
Foggia Credo - Missa La battaglia
Marenzio I will go die for pure love (Io moriró D’Amore ), Now must I part my darling (Parto da voi), I sung sometime the freedom of my fancy (Cantai gia lieto)
