Ye Sacred Muses: Choral Music from the Chapel Royal.

Greetings -

It isn't often that the a cappella vocal ensemble I sing with, Clerestory, comes north of the Golden Gate so I'm pleased and excited to let you know that this Friday evening we will be performing a concert right here in Santa Rosa! The concert is called "Ye Sacred Muses" and we just performed it in the Bay Area - and even sold out the chapel in SF's beautiful Grace Cathedral. If you buy tickets ahead of time you get $5 off the "at the door" price.

I hope to see you there,

Chris

Ye Sacred Muses: Choral Music from the Chapel Royal. The Chapel Royal was for centuries the seat of British sacred music-making, and the ensemble will perform lesser-known a cappella works by Henry Purcell, William Byrd, Thomas Tallis, and others. They will also highlight the madrigal compilation, The Triumphs of Oriana — a tribute to Queen Elizabeth I — and its 20th-century companion, A Garland for the Queen, which commemorates the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II with contributions by Vaughan Williams, Finzi, Tippett and others.
