Duration: 75 min

Original compositions, organ improvisations, arrangements
Conductor: Mikk Üleoja

The National Male Choir has long performed and recorded the à cappella choral music of Renaissance composer Giovanni Gabrieli. In this programme, their voices are joined by the Riga Sackbut Consort and organist Ene Salumäe, bringing Gregorian chant alongside Gabrieli’s instrumental and multi-choir works — originally composed with the spatial design and acoustics of St. Mark’s Church in Venice in mind. In this concert, the music resonates across the venue, offering a glimpse of the immersive sound experience of the 16th century cathedral.
