Ensemble alto.

Father and son Alessandro and Domenico Scarlatti were influential in the musical life of Naples, Italy in the Baroque period. Most commonly recalled for his keyboard sonatas learned by piano students everywhere, Domenico’s calm and reflective Stabat Mater will be performed by vocal ensemble and continuo. The elder Scarlatti, Alessandro, was known for his vocal works, and excerpts from his Missa Clementina will demonstrate his masterful part writing. Captivating and meditative, these intricate Baroque vocal works provide a pause from modern life.

TRANSEPT CHRISTMAS: LITTLE ROSE

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 2023 AT 7:30 PM

AT THE CATHEDRAL OF SAINT JOSEPH

521 N DULUTH AVE

SIOUX FALLS, SD 57104

Coming for the first time to the Cathedral of St. Joseph, Transept’s beloved Christmas program interweaves sources ancient and modern, from plainchant to medieval carols to modern gems. Featuring music by Lassus, Praetorius, Distler, Frank, Stopford, Weir, Mahler, and more, Transept Christmas is not to be missed!   

Johann Sebastian Bach composed the set of six cantatas known as the Christmas Oratorio for performance during the Christmas season spanning December 25, 1734 to January 6, 1735. Part 5, the cantata Ehre sei dir, Gott, gesungen (Glory to You, God, We Sing) was first performed in Leipzig on January 2, 1735, the Sunday that fell between New Year’s and Feast of the Epiphany on January 6. It tells of the journey of the Three Wise Men who sought to behold the baby Jesus, of King Herod’s trepidation upon hearing that a savior had been born, and of humanity’s joy at the promise of salvation brought by Jesus’ birth.

The cantata BWV 8, Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben (Dearest God, When Will I Die), was composed in 1724 as part of Bach’s second annual cantata cycle and was first performed at services in Leipzig on September 24, 1724. The work’s daring opening superimposes the tender, flowing lines of the oboe d’amores upon the clockwork pizzicato of the strings and the high, motoric whirr of the flute part. The passage of time and the ease of eternity are both present. Bach presents us with simultaneous dialectic and fusion: waves and particles, grace and gears. How it plays out is what the following movements are all about!

Estelí Gomez–SOPRANO, Clara Osowski–MEZZO-SOPRANO, Fran Laucerica–TENOR, Alan Dunbar–BASS-BARITONE, Kangwon Kim, Nathan Giglierano, Ben Lenzmeier & Leanne Kelso–VIOLINS, Micah Behr–VIOLA, James Waldo–CELLO, Jerry Fuller–BASS,  Curtis Foster & Pablo Moreno–OBOES, Immanuel Davis–FLUTE, Trevor Stephenson–HARPSICHORD

All the glory of Handel’s timeless Messiah, but make it chamber music. This chestnut gets the one-on-a-part treatment – and the nimbleness and luminosity that affords. Salastina loyalists will enjoy the return of last season’s most popular Happy Hour guest, the effervescent Belgian soprano Laurence Servaes, alongside the return of stunning mezzo-soprano Clara Osowski. Mulled wine reception to follow.

Plymouth Congregational Church Chamber Music Tuesdays.

Clara Osowski, Anthony Ross, and Mary Jo Gothmann perform a program including Brahms Op. 91, Berlioz, Previn, Libby Larsen, and Jonathan Dove.

Composed during an incredibly difficult period of converging crises in Mahler’s life, this piece — based on classical Chinese poetry — is about the beauty and transience of life. It’s sublimation at its finest.

Arnold Schoenberg, of all people, arranged what Leonard Bernstein called Mahler’s “greatest symphony” for chamber ensemble. Specifically: 2 singers, string quintet, piano, winds, percussion… and no conductor (because #chambermusic, duh).

Do not miss this one-night-only performance at the Huntington Library and Gardens. To get in the mood before dinner, you are welcome to wander the Huntington’s grounds until 5:00 PM free with your concert ticket purchase.

Reception to follow.
