I'm taking the liberty of forwarding this to the list because I belong to the group, and it's going to be a really good concert.
Rick Womer --------------- VOCES NOVAE ET ANTIQUAE presents: THE ART OF THE MOTET: TIMELESS SACRED TEXTS IN SETTINGS BY EARLY AND MODERN COMPOSERS Voces Novae et Antiquae, Philadelphia�s professional chorus devoted to early and new music continues its 12th season with The Art of the Motet, a program of paired early and modern settings of sacred texts to be presented: Friday, May 14, 2004 at 8 PM at Trinity Center for Urban Life, 2201 Spruce Street, Philadelphia; Sunday, May 16, 2004 at 4 PM at the Samuel Fleisher Art Memorial, 709�21 Catharine Street, Philadelphia. The early settings of Latin hymns and various psalms in Latin, Hebrew and English include works by Hildegard von Bingen, Josquin DesPrez, William Byrd, Salamone Rossi, Giovanni Croce, and Lodovico da Viadana. The modern settings of the same texts represented in the 1st half of the program include works by Ralph Vaughan Williams, Olivier Messiaen, Charles Ives, Paul Halley (best known as keyboardist for the Paul Winter Consort), Francis Poulenc, San Francisco composer Brian Banks, and Robert Ross, Artistic Director of Voces Novae et Antiquae. Mr. Ross says of this program: �I had the opportunity to work up a similar program to this one back in 1998 with the Chamber Singers of Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, PA. The program was so well received that I have been anxious to do something similar with Voces Novae et Antiquae ever since. Our listeners will be truly amazed at how wide a variety of musical styles these composers represent�the musical influences range from Gregorian chant to jazz/rock fusion�all in an a cappella context!� Ticket prices are $15 general admission, $10 for senior citizens, and $5 for students with ID.
