About "Palestrina: Missarum liber secundus: No. 13, Gaude, Barbara" by Chanticleer
Palestrina's motet 'Gaude, Barbara' becomes a radiant architectural bloom under Chanticleer's care. The joy is not naiveβit's carved from counterpoint's strict discipline, each voice a pillar of light, creating a tension between ecstatic praise and the austere beauty of Renaissance restraint.
