Description
Written almost 400 years ago and nearly destroyed by fire in WWII, some of composer Chiara Margarita Cozzolani’s lost works will be brought to life by Bay Area baroque vocal ensemble Magnificat. Working with his knowledge of Cozzolani’s work, director Warren Stewart has “re-composed” the missing pieces of her work and will premiere never-before-heard movements with his ensemble this holiday season. In addition to the Christmas Mass series, Magnificat will perform five of her motets and a Gregorian chant. Magnificat will use only female voices to preserve the “angelic” quality of the work, as it would have been performed in 17th-century Italy. Come hear Cozzolani’s Christmas Mass as it was meant to be heard.
