Wow! A chance to immerse ourselves--a cappella, no less—in two of the greatest musical centuries of all! We’ll begin way
back in the early 15th century to lay the foundation with music by such composers as Dunstable and Ockeghem. We will of course take a sojourn with the inimitable Josquin Desprez, featuring his great Missa Pange lingua, based upon a hymn for the Feast of Corpus Christi. Then we’ll wring out the 16th century with sacred and secular works by some of our favorite composers, including Orlande de Lassus; Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina; Luca Marenzio; Claudio Monteverdi; and Giaches de Wert. |

Circa 1600 is our mixed chamber choir, exploring the rich intersection of the Renaissance and Baroque eras. The group’s core repertoire spans the 16th and 17th centuries, with excursions back into the 15th century and forward to J.S. Bach. The ensemble’s artistic vision is shaped by the works of Josquin Desprez, Claudio Monteverdi, Heinrich Schütz and their contemporaries, bringing early music vividly to life.
