Renaissance Gems

Saturday, October 16, 2010 - 8:00pm Sunnyvale Presbyterian Church
Sunday, October 17, 2010 - 4:00pm First Congregational Church, Palo Alto

with The Whole Noyse

PROGRAM: M. Praetorius: Canticum Puerum Trium; H. Praetorius: Oculi Omnium and Gaudete Omnes; Schütz: Magnificat and Psalmen Davids; and music by other composers.

Science, literature, art and adventure soared in the renaissance like the golden voices of its music. Composers and performers gleefully departed from the somber conventions of the past and forged shimmering new forms of music and sound that set the stage for the great choral masterworks of the baroque and beyond. Join Schola Cantorum and the sterling renaissance wind band The Whole Noyse for an evening of lush and complex harmonies, bold sounds and inspired singing.
