Crescendo\u2019s second program of the fall 2022 season features Baroque and contemporary European Vocal music from the Baltics and Eastern Europe. The Crescendo Chorus, national and international soloists, accompanied by a period instrument orchestra with strings, natural trumpets and basso continuo will present these rarely heard festive Baroque and hauntingly beautiful choral works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This program takes us beyond the borders of the countries we normally associate with great Baroque music: Italy, Germany and France, the home of beloved composers such as Bach, Handel, Vivaldi and Lully. Transcending these borders, we will embark on a musical journey discovering how the Baroque style became a transnational cultural phenomenon, as composers constantly forged new connections among diverse cultural centers across borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Baroque works for chorus and instruments are \u201cLaetatus sum\u201d and \u201cCompletorium\u201d by \u2018The Polish Handel,\u2019 Grzegorz Gerwazy Gorczycki, \u201cPsalm 100\u201d by Johann Adam Hiller (Poland, Latvia), \u201cConfiderunt in Domine\u201d by Kry\u0161tof Harant (Czechia), and \u201cLaudetur Jesus Christus\u201d by Bohuslav Mat\u011bj \u010cernohorsk\u00fd (Czechia). Two Baroque solo works are Jan Dismas Zelenka\u2019s (Czechia) \u201cChriste eleison\u201d ZWV 29, sung by countertenor Nicholas Tamagna, who is visiting the U.S., and was recently acclaimed in the European press as a stellar singer with \u201ca large vocal range, from brilliant highs to rock-solid low notes\u201d in his role as Timagne <\/em>in Leonardo Vinci\u2018s \u201cAlessandro nell\u2018Indie\u201c at Markgr\u00e4fliches Opernhaus in Bayreuth, Germany; and \u201cJubilate Deo omnis terra\u201d by Johann Valentin Meder (Latvia), sung by bass-baritone Peter Becker, who has performed on stages throughout the U.S., Europe, Asia, and South America. The Baroque works will be contrasted with contemporary a cappella vocal works by an award-winning young composer, who is at the forefront of contemporary choral music: \u0112riks E\u0161envalds of Latvia. His work \u201cStars,\u201d based on a poem by Sara Teasdale, is accompanied with seldom-heard tuned musical glasses and Tibetan bowls. Other contemporary works are sacred motets by Pawe\u0142 \u0141ukaszewski of Poland and Zden\u011bk Luk\u00e1\u0161 of Czechia. A tribute to the rich choral tradition of the Ukraine will be \u201cUkrainian Alleluia\u201d (2007) by the American composer Craig Courtney. He describes his work as: \u201cA musical portrayal of a quiet voice of faith, praise and hope in the midst of suffering.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The performers are soprano Christina Kay (New York City) and Jordan Rose Lee (Norfolk, CT), countertenors Nicholas Tamagna (Oldenburg, Germany) and Augustine Mercante (Philadelphia), tenor Dan Foster (Troy, NY), and bass-baritone Peter Becker (New York City). The Crescendo Chorus, and a period instrument orchestra of brass, timpani, strings, and basso continuo will be conducted by Crescendo\u2019s Founding Artistic Director Christine Gevert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performances are on Saturday, October 29, 2022 at 4 pm at Trinity Church, 484 Lime Rock Rd., Lakeville, CT, and Sunday, October 30, 2022 at 4pm at Saint James Place, 352 Main St., Great Barrington, MA. Tickets are $40 general admission, $75 premium (preferential seating), and $10 for youth under 18 years. For more information and tickets: www.crescendomusic.org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For these concerts support has been provided to Crescendo from CT Humanities (CTH), with funding pro- vided by the Connecticut State Department of Economic and Community Development\/Connecticut Office of the Arts (COA) from the Connecticut State Legislature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
