Maemi Gardens, 15 March 2009

A concert of spiritual love, peace and joy.

Gorse and I will begin with a bicinia for alto and tenor recorders Pleni sunt caeli (The heavens and earth are full of your glory.) Followed by a 3 part piece by Walter Frye. Then we will play the first of a series of pieces by Josquin des Prés. We will continue our spiritual travels with Christe qui lux (Christ the Light) by John Redford and Laudes Deo (Praise The Lord) by Christopher Tye. 

Ave Verum are little pieces that are played while the priest blesses the holy bread during the mass. From there we will go to the truly sacred place of the Missa Pange Lingua of the great Josquin.

We will the bring you gently back to this world with 2 mass settings by the great Italian composer Palestrina. Gorse will return to play a last Josquin bicinia with me, Per illud ave prolatum. 

May peace be with you.
