Calgary Bach Society Presents: An Italian Baroque Easter

Calgary Bach Society Chorus and Instrumentalists - An Italian Baroque Easter

Experience a variety of sacred choral works for Easter by Italian late-Renaissance and Baroque composers. Hear Allegri's famous Misereri for two choruses featuring heavenly high C's, as well as Palestrina's motet Super flumina Babylonis and the mysterious Prince Carlo Gesualdo's motet O vos omnes. Thrill to the exquisite beauty of Lotti's Crucifixus for 8 voice parts and Domenico Scarlatti's 10 voice part Stabat Mater Dolorosa--both of which are Calgary Bach Society premieres! Lovers of J.S. Bach will also enjoy a selection of famous choruses from the St. John Passion.

"a significant voice in the early music landscape in Western Canada."
Stephan Bonfield, Calgary Herald, March 2013

"The choir gave a warm performance. Instrumental sections and ritornelli were really beautiful, and the authenticity of Baroque phrasing and rhetoric was truly remarkable in many places, both chorally and instrumentally."
Stephan Bonfield, Calgary Herald, April 2014
