We must have really fancied this one, as we don’t (and didn’t) much go to the Wigmore Hall for this type of concert midweek. Our work diaries were so full back then.
Janie was on a bit of a countertenor kick back then; that would have clinched it.
Anyway, what an interesting concert:
- Johann Rosenmuller – Ascendit Christus in Altum
- Giovanni Legrenzi – O Mirandum Mysterium
- Giovanni Legrenzi – Sonata in G major ‘La Pezzoli’
- Giovanni Antonio Rigatti – Nunc Dimittis
- Giovanni Antonio Rigatti – Cum Invocarem
- Claudio Monteverdi – Iam Moriar, Mi Fili (Pianto Della Madonna)
- Alessandro Grandi – Ave Maris Stella
- Alessandro Grandi – Amo Christum
- Biagio Marini – Sonata Quarta in A minor
- Francesco Maria Marini – Jesu Dulcis Memoria
- Dario Castello – Exultate Deo
- Giovanni Rovetta – Salve Regina
Here is one of the pieces they performed that night:
The following year, this troupe released the Salve Regina album, which contains many of the “hits” we heard that night – I have saved it to my YouTube Music account here.
My log records just one word to describe my feelings about this concert:
Lovely.
