Pierre de Manchicourt: Requiem Chalice Consort begins the 2008-2009 season with a program that features the Bay Area premiere of Pierre de Manchicourt's stunning Requiem. From its first bar, this neglected Franco-Flemish Renaissance masterpiece bathes the listener in strains of unearthly glory. In our performance, the polyphonic setting of the Requiem Mass Propers will be framed with appropriate liturgical chants. We hope you enjoy this timeless meditative experience and are inspired to follow our progress throughout the coming year. Read more about Manchicourt and the Requiem. November 8, 2008 - 8:00 p.m. November 9, 2008 - 4:00 p.m.

Gottfried August Homilius: Magnificat in A & Jauchzet dem Herrn (Bay Area premieres) Epiphany is the Christian feast day which celebrates the relevation of God in human form as Jesus Christ. While both Western and Eastern Christians celebrate Epiphany, they differ on the actual historical event that the feast day celebrates. The Western Christians commemorate the coming of the Magi, and the Eastern Christians celebrate the Baptism of Christ in the Jordan. Whether you believe in one, the other, or whether you just enjoy the joyous music, come explore with us some of this music which commemorates an oft-overlooked holiday after Christmas, in a program featuring the spectacular double choir setting of the Magnificat in A by Gottfried August Homilius (1714-1785), which utilizes antiphonal effects similar to those in the motets of his great teacher, Johann Sebastian Bach. January 17, 2009 - 8:00 p.m. January 18, 2009 - 4:00 p.m. |
