Opus 17 Program Summary
Our program opens with an Iroquois calling song, Yanaway Heyona, and David Brunner's I Am In Need of Music. From the “lush and lovely” category, Richard Burchard’s Miserere Mei, James Biery’s O Sacrum Convivium, and Kevin Memley’s Ave Maria top the list, plus a revisit of Guy Forbes’ O Nata Lux will be on the program. From the "thoughtful" side comes CV Stanford's lovely a cappella selection, The Bluebird.
The centerpiece of this summer’s concert is Vivaldi’s Dixit Dominus, a work scholars are calling “the most
important Vivaldi discovery in 75 years.” Unmasked from its erroneous cataloging in 2005, the work has been indisputably recognized as a work by Vivaldi, and recently published by Ricordi. We are presenting the
premiere performance of this work in California. Don't miss it.
