Pomerium

Pomerium's Primary Mission Is To Perform And Record The Great A Cappella Polyphony Of The 14th To 16th Centuries. Singing From Editions Prepared For The Ensemble By Its Director From Original Sources Pomerium Strives To Achieve A Vitality In Performance That Can Help Today's Audiences Appreciate Music As The Equal Of The Other Arts Of The Period With The Hope That A Composer Such As Ockeghem Might Be Recognized As An Artist Comparable In Stature To Botticelli In Painting Or Donatello In Sculpture Or That Josquin Desprez Might Be Recognized As He Was In A Treatise From 1567 As The "Michelangelo" Of Renaissance Music. Founded In 1972 Pomerium Draws On Decades Of Experience In Presenting Renaissance Choral Masterpieces. One Of Its Many Reviews In The New York Times Stated That The Group's "unisons Are Impeccable The Pacing Unmannered...Josquin's Virgo Salutiferi Sounded As Dramatic As Any Ride Of The Valkyries.
