About
the concert:
For this occasion, New Trinity Baroque will presents a meditative evening of sacred and secular vocal and instrumental music from Monteverdi to Handel. Entitled "Musica Sacra et Profana" this concert will include vocal compositions such as Giovanni-Battista Agneletti's "Gloria", Henry Purcell's "The Evening Hymn", "Lord, what is man" and "Sweeter than roses", Claudio Monteverdi's "Jubilet", "Si dolce è'l tormento" and "Ut queant laxis", as well as instrumental compositions for theorbo, viola da gamba, harpsichord and organ by Girolamo Frescobaldi, Alessandro Piccini, Johannes Hieronymus Kapsberger, Giovanni Battista Vitali and Christopher Simpson. A special treat will be the duets for two sopranos and continuo by Henry Purcell ("Sound the Trumpet") and Italian duets by George Frideric Handel - "Quel fior che all'alba ride" and "Ah, nelle sorte umane".
With this concert we also celebrate one very big anniversary - the 400th birthday of Italian composer Claudio Monteverdi.
