Davitt Moroney on Striggio's Long-lost Mass

UC Berkeley musicologist and renowned harpsichordist Davitt Moroney talks about his discovery of the long-lost 16th-century mass by Alessandro Striggio "Missa sopra Ecco sì beato" in 40 and 60 parts. It is the largest known contrapuntal choral work in Western music. Cal Performances presented the American premiere of the work at the June 2008 Berkeley Festival & Exhibition of Early Music.
