Emperor Charles V (1500-1558) was a scion of the Habsburg dynasty on his father's side and descended from Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain through his mother. This week's program presents music he may have known from his childhood in the Low Countries, as well as works by his court composer Nicolas Gombert, Orlando di Lasso, and others. Our performers include Capilla Flamenca (named after Charles' own band of Flemish singers), Hesperion XXI, and Pomerium.
