Harmony from conflict: music at the time of the reformation
Out of turbulence can arise great beauty. The Protestant Reformation had composers once loyal to the Catholic Church scrambling to create music for new liturgies. William Byrd’s poignant Mass for Five Voices, published in secret, anchors a program focused on composers like Tallis, Goudimel, Sweelinck, Clemens non Papa, and others who worked for both sides of the aisle. Music for the nascent Lutheran, Anglican and Calvinist denominations, as well as the Counter-Reformation, shows that artistry survives even in uneasy times.

buon natale: the befana is back!
Pipers, singers and narrators reprise Jouyssance's telling of La Befana, the benevalent old witch who gives candy and toys to children on Epiphany. A centuries-old Italian tradition, the Befana tale recounts how the witch aids the Three Kings on their journey, then she herself hurries to visit the Christ Child. Italian music of the season, from laude and 14th century ballate to treasures from Monteverdi and Palestrina, will be woven throughout.
