About the program:
On March 10th, 2002, New Trinity Baroque will present a very special concert of the music of the XVII century, Vespers by Claudio Monteverdi, and feature several ensembles and soloists from all over the United States, as well as England, Sweden, Venezuela and Yugoslavia.
Vespers of the Blessed Virgin by Claudio Monteverdi is a glorious work, which celebrates music in the most delightful manner. Claudio Monteverdi is an early Baroque composer, and he wrote this piece just around the time when he was moving from Mantua to Venice, in 1610. The Vespers is a set of psalms (choruses), instrumental concertos and ritornellos (short tunes which provide a link between the musical sections), as well as solos, which are put together using extraordinary forces of 7 vocal soloists, a choir which often has as many as 10 parts (and many times splits into two independent multi-voice choirs), and an instrumental ensemble of 10 to 15 different instruments. The ensemble New Trinity Baroque will, for this occasion, join forces with the Washington Cornett and Sackbutt Ensemble from Washington D.C. - an extraordinary group of people who play these wonderful instruments (there is no similar ensemble in Atlanta or the South), conducted by Predrag Gosta. Both groups will play on period instruments, i.e. on the copies of the historical instruments of the time when this composition was written. The instruments that will be used are two baroque violins, two recorders, three cornets (wooden instruments of a weird shape, which are today replaced by the trumpet), three sackbuts (from which today's trombones come), and a continuo section, comprised of viola da gamba (instrument similar to 'cello, but from a different instrument family), chittarone (large lute - theorbo), harpsichord and organ. The choir will involve 16-24 singers. Soloists will include renowned artists such as Michael Fields (England), Julia Matthews, James Gallagher (Dallas), Mirna Ogrizovic (Yugoslavia), Leif Aruhn-Solen (Sweden), Mark Husey, and many others.
Peachthree Christian Chruch in Midtown Atlanta seems to be the ideal place for this concert. Its wonderful acoustic will enable the musicians to recreate the sound that Monteverdi was able to create at St. Mark's in Venice. One cannot find a better place for this presentation musically and visually.
This performance of the Vespers will be presented in Atlanta for the first time on period instruments of Monteverdi's time. An impressive selection of soloists and ensembles has been gathered, and we hope that this concert will draw a big interest from Atlanta's early music supporters.
