VOCES8 are joined by members of sister group, APOLLO5, to perform the Sanctus from Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina’s monumental Missa Papae Marcelli, one of the defining masterpieces of Renaissance polyphony. Written in the sixteenth century and admired for its transcendent beauty, the Mass remains a cornerstone of the choral repertoire.
TEXT
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus
Dominus Deus Sabaoth.
Pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua.
Hosanna in excelsis.
TRANSLATION
Holy, Holy, Holy,
Lord God of Hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.

About APOLLO5
APOLLO5 stands out as one of Britain’s smallest but most dynamic vocal groups. Comprising a soprano, mezzo-soprano, two tenors, and a bass, the ensemble — named after the ancient Greek god of music — has earned a reputation for its ability to connect intimately with audiences whilst producing a rich, vibrant and versatile sound.
With a repertoire that embraces Renaissance, classical, and contemporary choral works, alongside folk, jazz, and pop, the group’s five voices vividly bring five centuries of music to life.
