Description: 

The Brattleboro Camerata is incredibly excited to perform its debut concert. Seventeen exceptional singers auditioned from throughout the region offer a program of 10 seasonal works spanning the years 1400-1600 entitled “The Angels Sang.” The pieces on the concert include English carols, German chorales, Latin motets, and Spanish villancicos from familiar names like Palestrina, Josquin, di Lasso, and Victoria, as well as less frequently performed composers like the Spanish Mateo Flecha and Cristóbal de Morales, and the African-Portuguese Vicente Lusitano. Music Director Jonathan Harvey says, “The central idea of this program is to showcase the capabilities of this extraordinary group of singers, and to reveal the many ways that Renaissance composers commemorated the winter season, from penitent and somber reflections on mortality to vibrant and percussion-filled dance pieces celebrating life.”
