Donald Nally conducts a program with a theme of waiting, longing and hope, featuring Kile Smith's "The Waking Sun" and Ted Hearne's "Fervor," interspersed with early music of Bach, Tompkins and

For example, Bertoglio writes that "the patrician Gesualdo felt possibly freer to experiment with unusual, unexpected and non-canonical passages and sonorities" than the "professional musician" Luca
Marenzio (p.

The initial repertoire performed at this musical club, which served as a mixing pot for leading professional musicians, aristocratic enthusiasts, and music theorists, concentrated on sacred music and madrigals of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (including works by Palestrina, Byrd,

which will include motets for Ascensiontide and Pentecost by Byrd, Tallis,
Marenzio, Palestrina and Stanford as well as two pieces in praise of St Cuthbert, one by John Roper and the other by Paul Spicer.
The music of Luca
Marenzio was a delightful discovery, and the sequence of songs and an instrumental piece by William Byrd confirmed the greatness and the versatility of this composer.
