Claudio Monteverdi’s VESPERS OF 1610 is a monumental compilation of the best of the old (Renaissance) and the newest of the new (Baroque), with textures ranging from intimate motets to grand fanfares, echo duets to 8-part choruses, Gregorian chant to operatic virtuoso lines. It is Dr. Anne’s favorite piece in honor of her 40 years with Harmonium, featuring Harmonium Choral Society in collaboration with Music in the Somerset Hills, with the period instrument magic of The Sebastians, many fantastic soloists from Harmonium, and the warm tenor of Stephen Sands.
