Conductor, Cynthia Powell
Beautiful music -- joyful and thoughtful, baroque and
contemporary -- all musical gems.
Featuring Vivaldi's Gloria
Originally composed for the women and girls of the
Venetian Ospedali (orphanages), Melodia will give a rare performance of the Gloria in the way it was heard
in Vivaldi's day -- with women's voices and instrumentalists.
Plus the world premiere of new commissioned work by
Becca Schack: In My End Is My Beginning, a setting of excerpts
from TS Eliot's Four Quartets.
Additional works include:
Bach's Wir Eilen Mit Schwachen,
Cantata 78
Eric Whitacre's Five Hebrew Love
Songs and She Weeps Over Rahoon;
Mendelssohn's Lift Thine Eyes
from Elijah
