"Summer Evening Music"
Famed organist and composer Dietrich Buxtehude
began his "Evening Music" programs as an annual series of organ recitals
over several Advent Sundays, but over the years they grew in scope, to
include vocal, choral and instrumental compositions, and in fame, drawing
people from miles around, famously including the young J. S. Bach, who is
said to have made the 200-mile journey entirely on foot!
In Lübeck’s Marienkirche, the performers were
placed in the balconies near the organ, and for this program, Pacific
Camerata will be joined by organist Steven Gray and an instrumental
ensemble in the loft of St. Andrew’s by-the-Sea Episcopal Church, in
Pacific Beach. We hope you will join us in these ringing acoustics for our
own Abendmusik program, which will include several cantatas by Buxtehude,
as well as motets by his early German Baroque predecessors Melchior Franck
and Heinrich Schütz. Let your summer get off to a good start!
Admission will be $15.00 general and $10.00* for
students, seniors and Early Music Society members.
$12.00 / $7.00 advance
purchase price (sorry, mail only; no credit cards).

Adrianno Banchieri |
"The
Cathedral Concert: Music of Italy"
During the Renaissance and Baroque eras, Italy was
alive with musical innovation. Madrigals,
sonatas and more found their first flower here, quickly spreading and
influencing composers throughout the continent.
For this program, Camerata has
found a wonderful sampling of these works, including madrigals by Palestrina, Pomponio
Nenna and Gioseppi Caimo,
as well as other works by Monteverdi,
Willaert and Banchieri. We are especially excited to unveil some of our
latest re-discoveries: pieces by women composers of northern
Italy, including the grand "Litany of the Blessed Virgin," by Isabella
Leonarda. An instrumental ensemble of violins and continuo will
join Camerata for this uplifting concert, presented in the wonderful
acoustics
of St. Paul’s Cathedral. Don’t miss it!
Admission will be $15 general and $10 for
students, seniors and Early Music Society members. $12 / $7 advance
purchase price. For more information,

St. Paul’s Cathedral, located across from
Balboa Park at 5th Avenue and Nutmeg St.
Cristóbal de Morales |
"El
Siglo d’Oro" This golden age of Spanish polyphonic music was
quite remarkable. The elegance of their melodies and harmonies, the sure
craft of their counterpoint, and the passion behind the notes meant that
Spanish composers were not only enlivening the music of the Cathedrals in
Seville,
Madrid and
Cordoba, but were in demand at many other prominent courts and
churches, including the Sistine Chapel.
This program will explore motets and other music by three of the
greatest names of that time: Tomás Luis de Victoria, Francisco Guerrero and
Cristóbal de Morales, and will feature Morales’ haunting Misa "Mille
Regretz." Based on the famous four-part chanson of Josquin, this "parody"
Mass makes use of six parts, while still often quoting the earlier work.
The concert will take place in the appropriate acoustics of St. Paul’s
Cathedral, located across from
Balboa Park at 5th Avenue and Nutmeg St., at 7:30 p.m.,
on Saturday, June 21st , 2008. Tickets will be $15 general and
$10 for students, seniors and Early Music Society members.
