Schola Musicorum presents Abend-Musique XXXVI
A concert of Gregorian chant from medieval manuscripts; polyphonic hymns by Du Fay, Robert White, and Thomas Tallis; and Mass movements by Machaut and Ockeghem. Seventeenth-century German composer Dietrich Buxtehude used the term Abend-Musique to refer to his late-afternoon Sunday concerts in the Marienkirche in Lübeck. (The German-French name means literally “Evening Music.”)
The Schola Musicorum was formed in 1993 by members of the Department of Music to study and perform Gregorian chant directly from medieval manuscripts and early printed sources. It is directed by Alexander Blachly.
