It was and still is a chamber Choir especially interested in The polyphony of The Renaissance, and particularly in The composer it takes its name from, although The Choir does also interpret works from every period. Its members’ hard work and joint enthusiasm along all These years, under The direction of Antonio Peces, crystallise in The neat blend of The voices and The sensitivity that its interpretations instill. The group provides experience and a consolidated musicality, while exploring every facet of choral music, as well as The singularity of The great masters’ art. Its musical perspective has been very satisfactorily widened thanks to The work carried out under The direction of Konrad von Abel in The last three years, through several intensive meetings and The joint preparati...    less

Video Direction: Andrew Staples Sound Engineering: Sound Mirror I In a garden shady this holy lady With reverent cadence and subtle psalm, Like a black swan as death came on Poured forth her song in perfect calm: And by ocean's margin this innocent virgin Constructed an organ to enlarge her prayer, And notes tremendous from her great engine Thundered out on The Roman air. Blonde Aphrodite rose up excited, Moved to delight by The melody, White as an orchid she rode quite naked In an oyster shell on top of The ...    less

In it, Dromgoole tells The story of an old man who approaches a deep and wide water-filled chasm. He crosses in The evening as he is unafraid, Then builds a bridge to span The tide. A fellow pilgrim questions why an old man would build The bridge, as he would surely never pass this way again in his lifetime. The old man lifts his grey head and responds to The questioning traveler that a youth is to follow after him. He too, would need to cross in The twilight dim. The old man answers, “I am building this bridge for him.” The commission process was an interesting and fascinating one in which to be involved. Dr. Dickau was originally approached a year or so ago by The chorale, and was inter...    less

The madrigal became de Rore's most popular work, one of The most widely distributed madrigals of The entire 16th Century Ancor che col partire io mi senta morire, partir vorrei ogn'hor, ogni momento: tant'e il piacer ch'io sento de la vita ch'acquisto nel ritorno: et cosi mill'e mille volt'il giorno partir da voi vorrei: tanto son dolci gli ritorni miei. Although when I leave you it is as if I were dying, I would wish to leave you every hour, every moment, I am so very happy when life comes back to me when I return: and so I wish I could leave you many thousand times a day because my heart leaps with joy when I return.  less
