Description
The Monteverdi Consort performs spiritual music in which the solfège syllables—ut-re-mi-fa-sol-la—play a structural and often symbolic role. Including the Missa La sol fa re mi (Josquin Desprez); an Ut re mi fa sol la compilation mass, with movements by Burton, Brumel, Morales, Palestrina, Roussel; and a pair of Josquin motets: Ut Phoebi, which uses a rising scale to symbolize the ‘stairway to heaven’, and Illibata Dei, in which Josquin conceals his own name and place of birth. Please join us for this sublime music, perfectly balanced between head and heart. Note: This concert will be repeated in San Francisco on Sunday February 19, in the Candlelight Concert Series at St Mary the Virgin Episcopal Church, corner of Union and Steiner Streets.More Info
