This is somewhat late notice, but anyone in #BostonMA looking for some great music on a Sunday afternoon, I'm singing again, now with the Masterworks Chorale!
Although Bach is the headlining piece, the Dett "Chariot Jubilee" is fabulous and the soloist singing with us, Fred C. VanNess, Jr., is SO good.
And we're also singing the Alice Parker (RIP 💔) arrangement of "Wondrous Love" which is one of my very favorite choral pieces. 🎶

At Origins + Exploration tomorrow, Chronos Vocal Ensemble presents Stuart Beatch,’s ‘Girl Hours’. Using text by Sofia Samatar, this work centres the important early contributions of women calculators in astronomy. Here’s a clip of Chronos in rehearsal, join us on Saturday to hear the full work!
I just donated to Tony Silvestri's recovery fund as he recovers from Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Tony is really close to his US$50,000 goal to help cover his crazy American medical costs and is a genuinely wonderful human being.
He wrote the poetry to some of my favourite choral works, like Ola Gjeilo's "Across the Vast, Eternal Sky", "Luminous Night of the Soul", and Eric Whitacre's "The Sacred Veil", "Sleep", and "Lux Aurumque".
Cantus: A Database for Latin Ecclesiastical Chant - Inventories of Chant Sources | Cantus Manuscript Database https://cantus.uwaterloo.ca/
"Cantus is a database of the Latin chants found in manuscripts and early printed books, primarily from medieval Europe. This searchable digital archive holds inventories of antiphoners and breviaries -- the main sources for the music sung in the Latin liturgical Office -- as well as graduals and other sources for music of the Mass."
@sapiens What a wonderful resource! I enjoyed the short video intro explaining how a database of Latin chants started for academic research has proven useful for art historians, museum curators, choir directors... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMmGrUxhPj4
& examples integrating modern score & words with original spelling & manuscript images. I've bookmarked the new website, https://cantusdatabase.org/
