Journey back in time to the heart of Spain and Italy, where a resplendent world of Renaissance and Early Baroque music awaits. Twenty Desert Chorale artists–joined by theorbo, organ, and the early music ensemble Incantare–will transport you to the hallowed halls of grand cathedrals, the mountains and seasides of the Mediterranean, and beyond. Highlights include Monteverdi’s jubilant Beatus vir, Lobo’s deeply expressive Versa est in luctum, the toe-tapping rhythms of Juan Arañés’ Un sarao de la chacona, and the soaring high C’s of Allegri’s famous Miserere mei, Deus. Experience the breathtaking polyphony of these sacred and secular works, creating a captivating tapestry of interwoven melodies that will fill you with the same wonder felt by those who first heard these masterworks.
