Opening Recital: Clothed from Head to Foot in Song​
Saturday, October 23, 2021, 8PM & Sunday, October 24, 2021, 3PM
St. Seraphim of Sarov Orthodox Church

Green Mountain Consort
​Bachgrounder lecture 35 minutes before each concert
Tomás Luís de Victoria (1548–1611) spent much of his early career in Italy, where he absorbed the High Renaissance style from older composers such as Palestrina. In the latter part of his life, he was chaplain and friend to the Dowager Empress Maria and her daughter Margarita at a monastery in Madrid. Victoria’s luminous Requiem, dedicated to Margarita, was written for the funeral of the Empress in 1603. The six-voice work is based upon the prescribed chant, which appears usually in the soprano part. Beneath this structural voice, Victoria creates an ever-evolving structure of sound, seemingly out of time and space, vividly evoking the music of the spheres—especially so in the incredible acoustics of St. Seraphim.

Still life with flowers
Jan Davidszoon de Heem
Once for each thing. Just once; no more.
And we too, just once. And never again.
But to have been this once,
​   completely, even if only once:
To have been at one with the earth, seems irrevocable.
​--Rainer Maria Rilke, from Ninth Elegy
    trans. Stephen Mitchell
“Your voices, the songs and the setting all conspired to create a truly moving and beautiful experience...it was a grace-filled occasion, and left me feeling uplifted.”
