New Words for Old Songs!

Musica Spei performs as part of the Rochester Early Music Festival and the 42nd annual American Literary Translators Association conference being held in Rochester. Musical selections will be presented as original poetic texts, sung texts, and in new translations from a variety of languages.


In collaboration with the American Literary Translators Association annual conference, the Rochester Early Music Festival (REMF) offers a concert of early vocal music performed by chamber choir Musica Spei. For this event, ALTA translators have contributed translations of texts in the following languages selected from Musica Spei's repertoire: Medieval French, Medieval Latin, German, Old Church Slavonic, Flemish, and Polish. Musical selections will be presented as original poetic text, sung text, and in new translation, celebrating the theme of "Sight and Sound" that focuses this year's ALTA conference and enlivening this Medieval and Renaissance musical repertoire with modern translated meaning.
