Green Mountain Monteverdi Ensemble Sings Victoria

The Green Mountain Monteverdi Ensemble of Vermont will perform the most beautiful works from the greatest Spanish composer of the early 17th Century: Tomas Luis de Victoria. The six-voice ensemble will perform Victoria's Requiem Mass, the Officium Defunctorum, originally published in 1605. This work includes the Mass for the Dead and two motets, Taedet animam meam and Versa est in luctum. The second half of the concert consists of Victoria's best-loved motets for four, five and six voices including O Magnum Mysterium, O vos omnes, and Quem vidistis pastores. The exquisite harmonies of Victoria, which sometimes take surprising turns, will transport the listener to the glories of the High Renaissance. Stephen Falbel directs.
