The Gospel Motet was an important way to tell Biblical stories in the early years of the sixteenth century, and among the most dramatic are those by Jachet of Mantua, Adrian Willaert, and Nicolas Gombert. Scenes of the crucifixion, Christ and Mary Magdalen, and the raising of Lazarus are rendered as vividly as they are in paintings of the period.

BACK TO MONTREAL
Rediscover the vocal music of Quebec!
In Back To Montreal, title borrowed from a song that celebrates a soldier’s joyful return from World War I, VivaVoce presents a musical panorama of songs from Quebec since the 17th century. The repertoire includes an early aboriginal melody, voyageur songs, sentimental 19th-century parlour songs, and recent music by Quebec composers Tim Brady and Claude Vivier, all in an enjoyable and informative format of a commentated concert. We discover much humour - both in the music and in the commentary by artistic director Peter Schubert. Images collected from historical archives will be projected. Pamela Reimer on piano.
