Duchess Margaret of Austria collected not only art but also sound. Vojtěch Semerád and Cappella Mariana bring to life two unique manuscripts from her collection: the Choirbook and her personal Songbook. Pierre de la Rue’s Missa de Sancta Cruce is surrounded by laments reflecting Margaret’s personal losses: the farewell to her father, the death of her brother, and her painful departure from the French court. A rare glimpse into the musical diary of a royal.
