About the concert

On Saturday, September 13 at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church, and Sunday, September 14 at Peachtree Christian Church, New Trinity Baroque will open a new Concert Season with some of the most beloved Baroque concertos, Antonio Vivaldi's “Four Seasons.” There is little need to introduce this masterpiece and we hope that you will come to celebrate the opening of the 2003-2004 Season, and what better way to celebrate than to the virtuosic sounds of Vivaldi's music. Both concerts start at 8 PM.

On this occasion, New Trinity Baroque will be joined by Ingrid Matthews, known throughout the early music community as a brilliant violinist. She won first prize in the Erwin Bodky International Competition in 1989, and since then has become well-established as one of this country's most respected artists in the field of early music. She is the Music Director of Seattle Baroque, and serves as concertmaster for the New York Collegium under Andrew Parrott. Matthews has garnered international critical acclaim for her extensive discography as a soloist, which ranges from the early seventeenth-century Italian repertoire to the complete Sonatas and Partitas for unaccompanied violin of J. S. Bach. Of the latter, the critic for American Record Guide writes "this superb recording is now my top recommendation... on either period or modern instruments." A frequent guest soloist with ensembles throughout North America, Matthews is also a founding member of La Luna and collaborates extensively with harpsichordist Byron Schenkman. She has served on the faculties of the University of Toronto, the University of Washington, Indiana University, the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, and the Amherst Early Music Workshop.

Beside Ingrid Matthews, we will also have the pleasure of welcoming William Bauer, viola d’amore (St. Louis), and Michael Fields, lute (England), who will be featured in Concerto for Viola d'Amore in A Minor and Concerto for Lute in D Major. Together with the “Four Seasons“ and the exciting Concerto for strings “alla rustica,” the orchestra of New Trinity Baroque hopes to revive the virtuoso sound of the Red Priest, and prove that they are “exuberant” (Atlanta Journal-Constitution) and “defined, gripping, thoughtful, full of temperament, fearless” (Concert Artists Guild, New York). This will be achieved with the largest orchestra baroque string orchestra featured so far, which will include seven violins, two violas, three ‘cellos, a double bass, archlute, baroque guitar, harpsichord and organ.

The tickets for these concerts are available by calling our box office at (770) 638-7574, or toll free 1-866-EARLYMUSIC. You can also visit our website at www.newtrinitybaroque.com and purchase the tickets online using any major credit card or electronic check.

We look forward to welcoming you to this special concert, as well as to our exciting 5th Anniversary Season. Starting with “Four Seasons” (also marking the successful four past seasons that we left behind us), this year New Trinity Baroque will offer a musical flair of an exquisite quality, featuring soloists on many different instruments from England, France, and the United States.

Translations:

Personent Hodie: On this day youthful voices sing aloud, joyful praising Him who was born for us, given by God, born of a virgin. / Born into the world, wrapped in swaddling clothes, laid in a manger in an animals' stable, the Ruler of all, The Prince of Hell is robbed of his spoils! / Three Magi came and offered their gifts. They sought the child, following a star, offering gold, incense and myrrh in adoration. / All clerks and choristers sing with angels: “You have come into the world; Glory to God in the Highest!”

Gaudete: Rejoice, Rejoice, Christ is born of the Virgin Mary, Rejoice! / The hour of grace which we seek is here. We offer with devotion our songs of gladness. Rejoice… / God is made man, a thing of wonder. The world is renewed by Christ's reign. Rejoice… / Light has arisen. Salvation is come, Bursting the gates of death. Rejoice … / Our congregation lustily rejoices now, Giving blessing to God, our Saviour and King. Rejoice…

Psallite Unigenito Christo: Sing your psalms to Christ, the begotten Son of God, sing your psalms to the Redeemer, to the Lord, the little Child lying in a manger bed. / A small Child lies in the manger. All the blessed angels fall before Him and sing. / Sing...

Noël nouvelet: Noël nouvelet, sing we a new Noël; Thank we now our God, and of His goodness tell; Sing we Noël to greet the new born King; Noël nouvelet, a new Noël we sing! / Waking from my sleep, a vision came to me; For before my eyes there stood a flow'ring tree, Where on a bright red rosebud I did see. Noël nouvelet, a new Noël sing we! / How my heart did glow, with inward joy divine! For with rays of glory did the rosebud shine, As when the sun doth blaze on break of day. This new Noël sing we: Noël nouvelet! / Then a tiny bird ceased joyous song to say Unto certain shepherds: “Haste you now away! In Bethlehem the newborn Lamb you'll see.” Noël nouvelet, a new Noël sing we! / Mary and Joseph in Bethl'em they found, Where the Infant lay, with ox and ass around, And for a crib, their manger full of hay. This new Noël sing we: Noël nouvelet! / So, upon my bed, I saw these wonders all, Dreaming of a Child, an Infant Child so small: Jesus of Naz'reth, called a King to be. Noël nouvelet, a new Noël sing we!

Riu, riu, chiu: Riu, riu, chiu. He who herds by the river: God kept the wolf far away from our ewe. / The furious wolf attempted to bite her but almighty God protected her well: such did he make her she could know no sin, a Virgin unstained by our first father’s fault. Riu, riu... / The newborn child is the mightiest monarch, Christ patriarchal invested with flesh. He made himself tiny and so redeemed us: he who was infinite became finite. Riu, riu... / Many a prophecy told of his coming, and now in our days have we seen them fulfilled. God became man, on earth we behold him, and see man in heaven because he so willed. Riu, riu... / I saw thousands of angels that were singing Flying around, making much music Telling shepherds, Glory in the heavens and Peace on earth that Jesus is born. Riu, riu...

Ave Maria: Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners. Amen.

O magnum mysterium: O great mystery and wondrous sacrament, that animals should see the newborn Lord lying in their manger. Blessed is the Virgin whose womb was worthy to bear the Lord Jesus Christ. Alleluia!

Quem pastores laudavere: The one praised by the shepherds, to whom the angels said, “Now lay aside your fears,” has been born the king of glory. / To whom the wise men made their way, bringing gold, frankincense, and myrrh, which they offered with open hearts to the victorious lion. / To Christ the king, born God, given to us through Mary, let there resound as is truly fitting praise, honor, and glory.

Resonet in laudibus: Let Syon resound with praises, with happy rejoicing among the faithful. He who was born of Mary has appeared. All that Gabriel predicted has been fulfilled. Eya! A virgin has given birth to God as divine mercy willed. Today there appeared in Israel a king, born of the virgin Mary.

Hodie Christus natus est: Christ is born today. Today the Saviour has appeared. Today on Earth the angels sing, archangels rejoice. Today the righteous exult, saying: Glory to God in the highest.

Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern: How beautifully the morning star is gleaming, full of grace and truth from the Lord, the sweet root of Jesse. Son of David, from Jacob’s stem, my King and my Bridegroom, You have taken possession of my heart, sweet, friendly, lovely and mighty, great and honored, rich in gifts, high and most gloriously sublime.

Est ist ein’ Ros’ entsprungen: A rose sprang up from a tender root; as the ancients sang to us, this variety came from Jesse and produced a little flower in the middle of cold winter, at midnight no less. / The rose I mean is the one Isaiah mentions: it is Mary, the pure, who produced the little flower. By God’s eternal providence she bore a child, at midnight no less.

Puer natus: Ein Kind geborn: A child is born in Bethlehem; therefore Jerusalem rejoices. Alleluia! Sing songs of joy and triumph to our Lord the king of glory. Kings come from Sheba, and offer gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Alleluja! Sing... Here lies in a manger the one who reigns without end. Alleluja! Sing... My heart’s little child, my dearest little friend, O Jesus. Born of a virgin mother, a woman without a man. Alleluia! Without the serpent's wound he comes, (yet) of our blood. Alleluia! In joy at his birth let us bless the Lord. Alleluja! Sing... And may the holy Trinity be praised, (and) let us give thanks to God. Alleluia! Sing... My heart’s...

About the Artists:

THE GOLIARDS (formerly the Garlandia Ensemble ) was founded in the autumn of 1998, with the intent of exploring the European musical repertory from before 1400. In its brief but very active existence, the ensemble has staged over a dozen productions, beginning with Decameron: Aspects of Musical Life in Boccaccio’s Florence in February of 1999, and following it in June with Maravillosos et Piadosos: Cantigas de Santa Maria from the Court of Alfonso X. In September, the ensemble performed Songs of Medieval England as a part of St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church’s annual Olde English Festival. The next production entitled Ondas do Mar: Monophonic Songs from Thirteenth-Century Europe focused on the seven cantigas de amigo by the Galician bard, Martin Codax. This was followed in February of 2000 by A Celtic Journey, a collaboration with Irish fiddler Moira Nelligan, and in April by Homage to Guillaume de Machaut (1300-1377), a concert which celebrated the 700th birth anniversary of the great French composer. In September, the ensemble presented (again in conjunction with St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church’s Olde English Festival) Minstrels of Albion, a program of ancient airs, hymns, and ballads from the British Isles, and in October performed ¡ULTREIA!, music from the tradition of pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. In March 2001 the ensemble presented concert entitled Quant Voi la Flor Nouvele: The Blossoming of the Chancon in Medieval France, in May – Calenda Maia: The Glorious Legacy of the Troubadours, and in October – Voluptas Intemperantiae (The Joy of Excess). In December of 2001, the ensemble performed for a standing-room-only audience at Nashville’s Frist Center for the Visual Arts in conjuction with the opening of the exhibitions Realms of Faith: Medieval and Byzantine Art from the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore and Leaves of Gold: Treasures of Manuscript Illumination from Philadelphia Collections. In March of 2002, The Goliards presented a program entitled The Troubadour Raimbaut de Vacqueyras, featuring mezzo-soprano Catherine Thomas as narrator and singer… The ensemble often performs in historical costumes from the era of the music they perform, and play on period instruments of the time.

Hailed by the critics as “the ensemble of consistent merit and refinement, boasting the highest artistic values” (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, September 2003),

NEW TRINITY BAROQUE is recognized as one of USA's leading early music ensembles. Founded in London in 1998, New Trinity Baroque was initially established as an ensemble of international musicians, and since then the group continues to maintain this presence through working closely with both U.S. and international artists. Led by the young conductor and harpsichordist, Predrag Gosta, the ensemble is now based in Atlanta, Georgia, from where it continues its mission by presenting over 25 concerts each concert season, with many more in other cities throughout the USA.

Working under the patronage of the international early music society, Early Music Network, the ensemble’s members perform on period instruments, specializing in music of the 17th and 18th centuries. The group's performances range from chamber to orchestral, from cantatas to operas. With frequent guest soloists of an international reputation, New Trinity Baroque presented its concerts in many cities throughout the USA, including Atlanta, New York, Boston, London and Belgrade. It's performances range from music of Renaissance to early, middle and late Baroque, and up to Classical period. Its past concerts were consistently appraised highly, and reviewed from “exuberant and exactingly prepared” (AJC, September 2002), to “defined, gripping, thoughtful, full of temperament, fearless.” (Concert Artists Guild, New York, January 2003). Highlight performances presented in the past by New Trinity Baroque include the South-Eastern U.S. premier of Monteverdi’s “Vespers of the Blessed Virgin (1610)” and “Selva Morale e Spirituale,” Purcell’s opera “Dido & Aeneas” (with soprano Evelyn Tubb and baritone Thomas Meglioranza in the title roles), Vivaldi's “Four Seasons” (with America's leading baroque violin virtuoso, Ingrid Matthews), and many others.

This year, New Trinity Baroque is celebrating its 5th Anniversary Season. Each of the seven different programs this season is carefully selected, each one presenting an international early music star in a unique early music program. We are proud to host guests such as Evelyn Tubb, Michael Fields, Ingrid Matthews, Steven Devine, Joan Lippincott, Emma Murphy and William Bauer. And this season, for the first time, we decided to go ahead with the competition of over 100 other concerts presented each Christmas Season, and present our own Christmas program featuring Renaissance holiday music, in a joint performance with Atlanta's leading medieval music ensemble, The Goliards of Atlanta.

New Trinity Baroque's efforts in education are constantly desirable and highly recognized, as the ensemble presented a number of exciting concert-lectures at major universities. Since this Fall [of 2003], the ensemble was appointed the Affiliate Ensemble at Georgia State University, as well as the Ensemble-in-Residence at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church in Atlanta. Next academic year, they plan to take educational residence at Oxford College (Emory U.).

New Trinity Baroque so far has recorded two CDs: 17th Century Trio Sonatas & Chaconnas, and the CD “The Birth of the Symphony” (featuring concertos grossos by Muffat and Handel), and their new CD of Purcell’s opera “Dido & Aeneas” is to be released very soon.

New Trinity Baroque is a semi finalist of the 2003 Concert Artists Guild International Competition held in New York City in March of 2003. In Summer of 2003, they appeared at the Boston Early Music Festival, when they received standing ovations from a full auditorium. Their most recent success was a concert with American famous organist, Joan Lippincott, when more than 400 people heard them (and, again, gave them standing ovations). Also, in November, they presented a special concert as a part of the 30th Anniversary Concert Season in Brasstown, N.C.

Being in constant demand, New Trinity Baroque's concert schedule extends as far as 2005. In March of 2004, they will be a featured baroque orchestra at University of Kentucky in Lexington, in three fully staged performances of Monteverdi’s opera “L'incoronazione di Poppea,” led by Predrag Gosta. At the same time they will lead a number of workshops and masterclasses in historical performance practice. In Summer of 2004, they will go to their first European tour, visiting England, Holland, France, Italy, Serbia, Croatia, Austria and Germany. The season 2004/05 will bring concerts with international early music stars such as Marion Verbrüggen, Andrew Lawrence-King, as well as ensemble I Fagiolini, including the appearance at the Boston and Berkeley early music festivals (Summer 2005), as well as the International Conference of the Association for 18th Century Studies (Spring 2005).

PREDRAG GOSTA was born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. He first started studying violin at the age of six, and later continued his music education in theory, voice, piano, organ, harpsichord, conducting and composition. He holds degrees from Trinity College of Music, London (Diploma in Performance, and Postgraduate Certificate), as well as Georgia State University, Atlanta (triple Master of Music degree in voice, choral conducting and orchestral conducting). His teachers have included well known and established artists in the field, such as Evelyn Tubb, Emma Kirkby, Jennifer Lane, Julliane Baird, Martyn Hill, Ian Partridge, James Bowman, Paul Esswood, Nicholas Clapton and Dwight Coleman (voice), Colin Tilney, Keneth Weiss, Webb Wiggins, Arthur Haas, James Johnstone, Peter Marshall and Robert Aldwinckle (harpsichord), Andrews Lawrence-King, Michael Fields, Anthony Rooley, Philip Thorby and Rebecca Miles (early music ensemble), Alan Raines and Julian Shew (choral & orchestral conducting), and Lorand Kilbertus and Mathias Nagel (organ). He also specialized early tuning techniques and restoration of keyboard instruments (particularly organs), which he studied under Mario Bjelanovic and Willaert Martin.

As a conductor, vocal soloist and harpsichordist, Mr. Gosta has collaborated throughout the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and Yugoslavia with early music specialists such as Evelyn Tubb, Emma Kirkby, Michael Fields, Ingrid Matthews, Anthony Rooley, Ivor Bolton, Robert Hollingworth, Phillip Thorby, ensembles Sprezzatura, The Dufay Collective, Ensembles Renaissance and Musica Antiqua Belgrade, and others. Most recently he was assisting Andrew Lawrence-King in the production of “La Purpura de la rosa” at the 2003 Amherst Early Music Festival. He directed groups such as Georgia State’s University Singers and Choral Society, Georgia State University Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Choir Canticum Novum, Emory University’s Oxford Chorale, and many others. With the Choir of NTB he conducted the Monteverdi Vespers in May of 2002, and Henry Purcell’s famous opera “Dido & Aeneas” in September of 2002. Recently he has been invited by the Opera Department of Kentucky University (Lexington, KY) to conduct and music-direct Monteverdi's famous opera “L'incoronazione di Poppea,” in March of 2004.

Predrag presents master classes and lectures in the USA and overseas, and is a former Adjunct Professor of Oxford College of Emory University. Mr. Gosta is the president of the international early music association, Early Music Network, and the vice-president (and president elect) of the Atlanta Early Music Alliance. He has recorded several CDs, and is a recipient of numerous awards and scholarships. His scholarly articles appeared in journals such as The Choral Journal and Continuo, and he is a member of the Phi Beta Delta Honor Society for International Scholars.

On Saturday, APRIL 3, 2004 AT 8:00 PM, at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church (1790 LaVista Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30329), New Trinity Baroque, led by Predrag Gosta and hailed by the critics as "an ensemble of constant merit and refinement, boasting the highest artistic values" (Pierre Ruhe, Atlanta Journal-Constitution) will present music for soloists and orchestra written by two great Italian 18th century masters, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, and Antonio Vivaldi. The concert will feature one of the early music world's greatest performers, Evelyn Tubb, soprano (England), known throughout the world for her passionate performances both as a soloist as well as a member of a renowned ensemble The Consort of Musicke. She will be joined by a young countertenor, Terrance Barber, a former member of Chanticleer, who is already recognized as an emerging artist in the classical music world.

The central piece for this concert will be Pergolesi acclaimed work, "Stabat Mater". This Lenten composition has been recognized as his best work, which made him famous throughout the world. The composition, originally written for two castratti singers, is today often performed by an all-female chorus, but will be presented by New Trinity Baroque in its original form, featuring two soloists and accompanied by an orchestra performing on period instruments of the Baroque era.

This concert will, at the same time, be a public recording for NTB's new CD release.
