Medieval Italian music from the 14th century, with voices, lute, harp, vielle, bagpipes, and more. Quirky, virtuosic, and expressive, this music challenges the ears with its rhythmic complexity at the same time that it soothes and amazes the heart with its melodic elegance and beauty. Our program includes motets, dances, ballatas, and madrigals by Johannes Ciconia, who wrote in both French and Italian styles; Francesco Landini, the organist known as ‘Francesco the Blind’; Donato da Firenze, and others.
71st Annual Hofstra Shakespeare Festival presents the Hofstra Collegium Musicum directed by Christopher Morrongiello. Pastoral music of the early 17th century; Dowland, Morley, Caccini, Riccio, Johnson, and Bennett.

Kleine Schütz
Small-scale vocal masterpieces of Heinrich Schütz, composed during the deprivation years of the Thirty Years War
Amidst devastating warfare in mid-seventeenth century Germany, with performing forces severely depleted, Schütz's creativity knew no bounds, as he produced solos, duets, trios and quartets in a dazzling display of compositional virtuosity. On this program are selections from his Cantiones Sacrae (1625) and from the two books of Kleine geistliche Konzerte (1636 and 1639). Schola’s singers are joined by a continuo of Baroque guitar, theorbo, bass viol and chamber organ.

The Victim of Love: Oratorio by Antonio Gianettini
Jeremy Rhizor’s mission is to create a comprehensive and totally original listening experience for his audience. He combines a fervent 17th-century oratorio, Gianettini’s La vittima d’amore, ossia La morte di Cristo in a modern-day premiere, a lecture at its midpoint, and a reception after the performance. The oratorio’s text is melancholy: it expresses the pain of Mary and St. John as they accept the necessary sacrifice of Jesus.
Mid-concert lecture and post-concert dessert reception
