The Capricornus Project
February 1-9 Roslindale, MA Long & Away will record sacred works for voices and viols by little-known German composer Samuel Capricornus (1628-1665). He was an important figure in the German Baroque, linking Schütz and Bach, and was prolific in his output, yet remains unknown. His extraordinary works span the gamut from intimate chamber music to grand Italianate concerted works. Some of these pieces have never been recorded, and we can't wait to share Capricornus' incredible music with you! Read more. |

The Beggars' Songbook (BEMF Fringe Concert)
June 10 at 12pm Hunnewell Chapel at Arlington Street Church Our concert explores music-making during the 16th-century Dutch revolt against Phillip II of Spain. The Geuzenliedboek ("Beggar's Songbook") was a popular compilation of political songs; Valerius’ Neder-landtsche Gedenck-clanck was a history of the war interspersed with songs set to popular melodies from all over Europe. We'll present these Dutch songs of political turmoil alongside works by Camphuysen, van Eyck, Sweelinck, Cabezon and Ortiz. |
