THE FESTIVAL CONSORT PRESENTS RENAISSANCE GLORY
On Sunday, January 8, 2017 at 4PM the Festival Consort will present its Renaissance
Glory concert at the Church of the Incarnation, 550 Mendocino Ave, Santa Rosa CA
95401. For the past forty years the Festival Consort has been entertaining audiences in
the Bay Area. Some audience members come every year to celebrate the Christmas
season in the historic all redwood 142 year old church.
Well-known soprano Carol Menke and countertenor Chris Fritzsche join instrumentalists
David Hogan Smith, Joanna Bramel Young, Alan Paul and Robert Cronin for a concert
of traditional Christmas carols, songs by Dunstable, and glorious six-part works by
Senfl, Altenburg, Hammerschmidt, and Josquin. Full consorts of recorders, crumhorns
and schreyerpfeifen will play works by a variety of renaissance composers. Other
instruments played are the sackbut, renaissance guitar, shawms, douçaine and curtals
(renaissance bassoons). Two new curtals, the alto and tenor, will be making their debut
this year. Also, the great bass recorder and crumhorn add their wonderful low notes to
various ensembles.
David Hogan Smith, author of a book on making renaissance reeds, makes reeds for
and adjusts the crumhorns and schreyerpfeifen. Robert Cronin, well-known instrument
builder, made the shawms and the bass curtal played in the Consort.
