Publick Musick: Echos of the Renaissance
The use of double choirs—two (or more) ensembles of instruments or voices trading musical material antiphonally—was popular in northern Italy in the late 1500s and early 1600s. In this program the MAG organ itself will be one of the choirs, juxtaposed with a string ensemble, letting the audience enjoy the full palette of sounds of Eastman's Italian Baroque Organ. Complementing these rich sounds of the late Renaissance will be sonatas for strings and basso continuo by groundbreaking composers active around the same time, who created the music that ushered in a new era, the Baroque.
Performers:
Boel Gidholm, baroque violin
Mary Riccardi, baroque violin
James Marshall, baroque viola
Christopher Haritatos, baroque cello
Naomi Gregory, organ
Deborah Fox, theorbo
