JOSQUIN II

Featuring a pair of sumptuous motet cycles and the composer’s earliest mass setting

Cut Circle animates Renaissance music

“Gloriously invigorating . . . Cut Circle’s superb energy is quite addictive.” –Gramophone

“A rare pearl in the panorama of American early music groups.” –Medioevo (Italy)

“Cut Circle makes the emotions audible.”
–BR Klassik (Germany)

“Go attend one of their concerts as soon as you can.” –San Francisco Classical Voice

Josquin, Ave Maria…virgo serena

Okeghem, Tant fuz gentement resjouy

Missa Gross senen, Credo

Song of the Tailors (Carnival Song)

Inside, outside, and in the streets—hear the bellowing of sacred texts and the howling of carnival songs, the devotion of the faithful and the revelry of the drunk. Joined by the ensemble Cut Circle, Stanford students from Music 159J (“Performance as Analysis”) will sing from—and invent multi-voice music based on—a perfectly preserved fifteenth-century Florentine chant manuscript. The book forms part of the sumptuous Burke Collection of Early Italian Miniatures, which will be on view during the performance as part of the exhibition The Illuminated Page: Decorated Medieval Choirbooks from the Burke Collection.

Reception: 5:30pm
Performance: 6:30 pm

All are welcome. RSVP if you would like to attend.
