Cappella Pratensis | Stratton Bull The vocal ensemble Cappella Pratensis is a leader in the performance of polyphonic masterpieces from the 15th and 16th centuries, with a particular focus on the Low Countries. The group performs straight from the source, reading from fascimiles of original partbooks or choirbooks, the latter placed on a central music stand or projected on a large screen. Its programmes are intensively prepared and based on thorough musicological research, often in collaboration with leading scholars. Cappella Pratensis also enjoys a formal partnership with the Alamire Foundation, International Centre for the Study of Music in the Low Countries (University of Leuven). This whole approach creates an intense engagement with the music, in performances that aim to reveal the essence of this extraordinary repertoire. Cappella Pratensis also puts this approach into surprising new contexts, regularly collaborating with such partners as dance companies, jazz musicians, theater makers, and composers. Until the end of 2024, Cappella Pratensis will unroll the five-year project The Den Bosch Choirbooks, in which the ensemble will revive the magnificent choirbook collection of the Illustre Lieve Vrouwe Broederschap in ‘s-Hertogenbosch after centuries.
