“Stile Antico”
The Dessoff Choirs
Christopher Shepard, conductor
Libby Van Cleve, oboe d’amore
Todd Reynolds, violin

Before and beyond Bach: a concert of choral and instrumental works exploring how earlier styles of music have inspired composers of many periods. Movements from Bach’s arrangement of Palestrina’s Missa Sine Nomine a 6 will be presented alongside music by another Baroque master, Grzegorz Gorczycki. Also on the program, works by Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann, and Max Reger, who were inspired by Bach. Contemporary selections feature the North American premiere of Willam Hawley’s Tota Pulchra es Maria; two works by Ingram Marshall: September Canons, a piece for solo violin inspired by 9/11 and performed by Todd Reynolds, for whom it was written, and Holy Ghosts, for solo oboe d’amore, written for and performed by Libby Van Cleve; also, Sven-David Sandström’s mystical Komm, Jesu, Komm.
