Behind cloistered walls\, nuns sang Gregorian chant and sacred choral music that their counterparts in monasteries would have performed\, though in their own celestial vocal range and sometimes accompanied by instruments. Although many convents lacked the wealth and resources of local monasteries and cathedrals\, monastic women still collected manuscripts of plainchant and sang the music of the Mass and the Divine Office. Their active participation in the liturgy is clear from surviving liturgical books. This program brings out vocal and instrumental music from medieval and early-modern convents that has scarcely received a modern hearing. In doing so\, we hope to unveil a rich repertoire that has been neglected all too often. \nSonorous sixteenth-century convent polyphony and monophonic medieval chant interweave in the first part of this program. We will sing three five-voice motets from the first known collection of published convent polyphony—an anonymous set of partbooks\, printed in Venice in 1543. All three motets have Marian texts; their liturgical use included the feasts of the Immaculate Conception and the Annunciation. These motets are complemented by three plainchants drawn from a thirteenth-century liturgical book currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago in the Deering Family Galleries of Medieval and Renaissance Art\, Arms\, and Armor. This breathtaking source of music was compiled for an Italian convent and illuminated by artist Jacobus de Salerno. We will sing from images of this precious book tonight – three prescribed for the feast of the Annunciation. These beautiful melodies represent a small window into this rare convent manuscript of the late Middle Ages \nIt is impossible to talk about pre-modern music for the convent without mentioning the recently-canonized St. Hildegard of Bingen\, the twelfth-century abbess from the Rhineland\, who not only composed music but also authored treatises on natural science and medicine and was further known for her prophetic visions. Our program includes Hildegard’s Ave generosa\, a hymn in praise of the Virgin Mary. The richness of Hildegard’s poetic expression is matched by the beauty of her musical setting. With its sweeping melodic gestures and wide range\, the hymn is well suited for talented female voices. \nThe second half of tonight’s program explores northern Italian convent music of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century. We begin with two works by Raffaella Aleotti\, taken from a collection of motets for five to ten voices published in 1593. This source is remarkable as the first known publication of polyphony by an Italian nun.Aleotti was the music director at the convent San Vito in Ferrara\, which maintained a high reputation for its musical performances. Included among the eighteen motets of Aleotti’s Sacrae Cantiones are two motets by her teacher\, Ercole Pasquini. Pasquini was born in Ferrara\, and later became organist of St. Peter’s in Rome. The Toccata in F exemplifies the kind of piece that Pasquini might have improvised during the liturgy: to introduce singing\, accompany a liturgical procession\, or to conclude the service. \nSacred music styles changed markedly in early seventeenth century Italy\, with a turn towards a more intimate type of musical expression. Composers frequently used newly composed motet texts with a more personal\, even sensual\, devotional cast found in the biblical Song of Songs. The motets by Caterina Assandra\, Alba Tressina\, and Lucrezia Vizzana exemplify this new style. Alongside their careful text declamation\, these works contain vivid examples of musical word-painting\, surprising harmonic progressions\, moments of striking vocal virtuosity\, and an independent instrumental accompaniment. Assandra’s seraphim echo each other back and forth; Tressina’s setting captures the amorous intensity and languor of its Song of Songs text. Vizzana’s motets speak to her personal commitment to Christ and the church (Amo Christum) and to the patronal festival of her convent\, San Cristina in Bologna (O invicta Christina sancta). Tonight’s program also includes an organ piece by Adriano Banchieri\, one of the composers who published choral works dedicated to Vizzana’s convent. \nThe program closes with three motets by Sulpitia Cesis\, a nun in the Augustinian convent of San Geminiano in Modena. These works are found in a collection of “spiritual motets” from 1619\, which contained music for up to twelve parts. Maria Magdalena et altera Maria recounts a scene of the Resurrection\, taken from Matthew 28:1\, 6-7\, while Stabat mater is a truncated version of a liturgical sequence for the Virgin Mary at the foot of the cross. Cantate Domino is a compilation of verses from psalms 95 and 99\, highlighting the devotional act of praise through music. Its echoing double choirs create a musical space in which we can overhear the splendors of Italian convent polyphony and those talented musicians who created it.

H. H. Parry (1848-1918) \nThe Choir of New College\, Oxford is one of the most celebrated and acclaimed choral groups of the UK. When William of Wykeham founded his ‘New’ College in 1379\, a choral foundation was at its heart\, and daily chapel services have been a central part of college life ever since. The Choir comprises sixteen boy choristers and fourteen adult clerks; the latter a mixture of professional singers and undergraduate members of the College. The pattern set by New College Choir in the 1380s was later adopted by other foundations\, and may be seen as the prototype for all choirs of its kind. The boy choristers benefit not only from the matchless education provided by daily contact with superb music\, or the satisfaction of performing at a professional level\, but also from generous bursaries at New College School. \nBeyond Oxford\, New College Choir is often to be heard in concert around the world\, and on broadcasts and recordings. A wide range of music is represented in its discography; it was the first choral foundation to establish its own recording label\, Novum\, and has also recorded for CRD\, Decca\, Erato and Hyperion.

With one notable exception\, it is rather less known for the musical treasures which it has nurtured for many centuries. In many cases this is due to the jealous guarding of the music by a series of Popes\, who would not allow certain pieces to pass beyond the walls of the chapel. Such is the case\, famously\, of Gregorio Allegri’s Miserere\, which acquired such a mystique through the Sistine Chapel’s monopoly that tracing its journey has become one of the most intriguing musical problems of our time. \n\nThis program allows us a privileged glimpse into the heyday of the Vatican of the high Renaissance. The power and prestige of the Papacy was at its apex\, and before long the Council of Trent would spur liturgists and artists to the heights of the Counter-Reformation. In this spirit\, the continuity in this program is provided by that most prolific of polyphonists\, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. Rather than choose just one setting of the Ordinary of the Mass\, Peter Phillips has chosen individual movements from five different masses\, forming a composite which shows the remarkable breadth and consistency of Palestrina’s style. \n\nPresented by Mr. John H.

The American Spiritual Ensemble is unique in that over 90% of the members are accomplished soloists who have sung in theaters and opera houses world wide\, including the Metropolitan Opera\, New York City Opera\, Houston Grand Opera\, and abroad in Italy\, Germany\, Britain\, Scotland\, Spain and Japan. The resulting sound of this group is something that choral groups with two or three featured soloists cannot duplicate. \nThe American Spiritual Ensemble has presented diverse concerts throughout the United States\, Europe and South America and has toured Spain twelve times presenting more than 100 concerts. \n“No words …can describe the impact the Ensemble made last night. And the night before that at the MPR dinner. My only wish is that we’d had every music educator in the state of MN in that conference room yesterday afternoon. I feel so bad for any educator who missed that rich\, rich experience. But because that wasn’t an MPR event\, per se\, we only could do just so much to get bodies in the room. Most everyone left the church last night about 6″ off the ground\, and I had a helluva time falling asleep last night. Thank you\, thank you\, thank you. What you do is so incredibly special.

To accompany its revival\, Tenebrae has commissioned a unique new choral work by Owain Park\, Footsteps\, which allows Tenebrae to perform alongside local choirs and marks Tenebrae’s fifteenth-anniversary season. \nThe Path of Miracles world premiere was due to take place on 7th July 2005 at St Bartholomew-the-Great\, yet this was the day of the London bombings. The premiere was cancelled and rescheduled for ten days later and its inaugural performance became a powerful act of reflection and contemplation. \nPath of Miracles is a work based on the most enduring route of Catholic pilgrimage\, the great Pilgrimage to Santiago. Singing this work by candlelight in the magnificent setting of the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis guarantees Tenebrae at its dramatic best .
