Come hear the Oriana Consort’s twenty-nine voices and ten soloists sing these Choral Celebrations from France -- in chants, motets, choral songs, and Requiems:
Gabriel Fauré’s immortal “Requiem”
accompanied by Balint Karosi, organ
another Requiem, centuries older, by the early Renaissance composer Antoine Brumel
composed about 1500—a fascinating blend of Gregorian chant and choral polyphony!
Maurice Duruflé’s “Quatre motets sur des thèmes grégoriens”
Duruflé, in the 20th century, based each motet on a Gregorian chant—just as Brumel did in the 16th!
the “Trois Chansons” of Claude Debussy
three celebrations of life—the only a cappella choral music the composer of “Claire de Lune” ever wrote!
the “Trois Chansons” of Maurice Ravel
three celebrations of life—the only a cappella choral music the composer of “Boléro” ever wrote!
the solemnity of this choral music of Francis Poulenc will draw you in:
-- two penitential motets: “Tristis est anima mea” and “Vinea mea electa”
-- “Seigneur, je vous en prie”, from Poulenc’s settings of prayers of St. Francis of Assisi
Here’s what reviewers have been saying about us recently:
"The consort sang on an exalted level here ... a wonderfully conceived (and enthusiastically received) program, affording many soloists a chance to shine."
"Oriana’s renaissance sound was particularly resonant ..."
"... light, practically vibrato-less voices ... delicate phrasing and balance ... a fascinating collection of seldom-heard music."
Admission at the door: still only $15 — seniors and students $12.00
