About the Concert
Our concert for Holy Week features two contrasting masterpieces by contemporaries Domenico Scarlatti and J.S. Bach (both born in 1685). Scarlatti's remarkable Stabat Mater, scored for ten independent voice parts, is an outstanding example of Italian polyphony, with melodic motifs and dissonances reminiscent of Monteverdi. Jesu Meine Freude is the greatest of Bach's six motets and represents the finest achievement of the German Baroque.
Enjoy the premiere setting of Ave Regina Caelorum by Montreal composer Christopher Hossfeld, juxtaposed with a 12th century chant of the same text.
