on Feb. 16, 2019 at Historic Calvary St. Andrew's at ROC SALT Center

Midwinter Mediations: Celebrating the Silent Season of Snow

Musica Spei presents a collection of medieval and Renaissance choral works meant to inspire the joys and somber reflections of the winter and Lenten seasons. Featured works include the Lamentations by Robert White as well as motets by Byrd, Lassus, Gallus, and Dufay.


            In its February program “Midwinter Meditations: Celebrating the Silent Season of Snow,” Musica Spei presents music of the medieval and renaissance periods chosen to display a variety of musical moods appropriate to Lent, as well as pieces intended for performance during more joyous seasons of the year.  The performance is accompanied by meditations on the music:  brief presentations addressed to the audience by the singers themselves interspersed throughout the concert, designed to lead listeners to better understanding of the music, so that all present might truly celebrate the sounds of this otherwise “Silent Season.”
