The Boston Camerata also tours regularly in the US and on four continents. Recent international tours We thank Joel Cohen for his invaluable help with this program. have included appearances in France, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Brazil. These live performances present vital, historically informed performances of European music of the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque eras, and of early American music, sacred and secular. In recent seasons, Camerata’s forays into music-and-dance performance (‘Borrowed Light,’ with the Tero Saarinen Company, 2004-2014), and music theater presentations (‘Daniel: A Medieval Masterpiece Revisited’ (2014-present); ‘The Night’s Tale’ (2015); ‘Tristan and Iseult’ (2017-18) have brought the company’s work to much wider audiences, locally and internationally. The Camerata’s activities include numerous media appearances (2 prizes at FIFA Montréal, 2014, 1 prize at the Massachussetts Film Festival) and educational projects (Visiting Artist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015; school outreach in the Marinhao province of Brazil, 2016). Its many recordings (including the Grand Prix du Disque, 1989) document the ensemble’s long evolution over two generations, and its influence on modern-day approaches to historical performance. www.bostoncamerata.org 4 Andrew Arceci, Carol Lewis, Shira Kammen, Anne Azéma, Joel Frederiksen, Michael Barrett, Daniel Hershey. Fuentidueña Chapel, The Met Cloisters, New York Anne Azéma, Artistic Director French-born vocalist, scholar and stage director Anne Azéma directs The Boston Camerata (2008) and the French ensemble Aziman (2005). Intensely engaged with solo song of the Middle Ages, she is esteemed as a charismatic solo performer. She is also widely admired for creative skill in building and directing musical productions of varied styles and periods, both for her soloist-oriented programs centered around her original repertoires, and for larger ensemble forces (in concert and staged) in Europe and the United States. Anne Azéma’s current discography of 35 recordings (Grand Prix du Disque; Edison Prize) includes five widely acclaimed solo CD recitals (Erato/Warner). Since assuming the directorship of The Boston Camerata in 2008, she has created a series of fifteen new productions, acclaimed by press and public alike. Among Anne Azéma’s teaching activities are master classes, seminars, lectures and residencies at prominent conservatories and universities. She has contributed articles to scholarly and general audience publications. In 2011, Ms. Azéma was named Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres by the French Government. She is currently a faculty member at the Longy School of Music of Bard College. The second film in which she appeared received two prizes at the Montréal FIFA (2014). In 2017, she was presented with the Distinguished Artist Award of the Saint Botolph Foundation, in recognition of her work as a director.

  • PMMS Josquin Des Prez Discography June 2021
    Josquin des Prez Discography Compiled by Jerome F. Weber This discography of Josquin des Prez (Josquin Lebloitte dit des Prez), who has been indexed as Josquin Desprez, Des Près, and Pres, adopts the format of the Du Fay discography previously posted on this website. It may be noted that at least three book titles since 2000 have named him simply “Josquin,” bypassing the spelling problem. Acknowledgment is due to Pierre-F. Roberge and Todd McComb for an exhaustive list of records containing Josquin’s music in www.medieval.org/emfaq. It incorporates listings from the work of Sydney Robinson Charles in Josquin des Prez: A Guide to Research (Garland Composer Resource Manuals, 1983) and Peter Urquhart in The Josquin Companion (ed. Richard Sherr, Oxford, 2000), which continued where Charles left off. The last two lists each included a title index. This work has also used the following publications already incorporated in the three cited discographies. The 78rpm and early LP eras were covered in discographic format by The Gramophone Shop Encyclopedia of Recorded Music (three editions, 1936, 1942, 1948) and The World’s Encyclopaedia of Recorded Music (three volumes, 1952, 1953, 1957). James Coover and Richard Colvig compiled Medieval and Renaissance Music on Long-Playing Records in two volumes (1964 and 1973), and Trevor Croucher compiled Early Music Discography from Plainsong to the Sons of Bach (Oryx Press, 1981). The Index to Record Reviews compiled by Kurtz Myers (G. K. Hall, 1978) provided useful information. Michael Gray’s classical-discography.org has furnished many details. David Fallows offered many valuable suggestions.

  • Celebrate a Medieval Christmas with the Boston Camerata
    Anne Azéma, Artistic Director Joel Cohen, Music Director Emeritus December 1, 2011 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Please contact Tim Alexander at [email protected] or 617-272-2092 for further information. "A Medieval Christmas," absent for many years from the Boston area, now returns for four performances this Christmas season in New England. Directed by Anne Azema, the performances are December 10 (8 pm) at Boston's Old West Church; December 11 (3:30 pm) at First Parish Church in Newbury; December 17 (8 pm) in Lexington's Hancock United Methodist Church; and December 20 (8 pm) at First Church of Cambridge. Union College in Schenectady has engaged the Camerata for an additional performance there on December 18. "Away with scholastic debate and with the coldness of rectitude: Let the light and awe from some of the most magnificent medieval pieces pour in, the energy of a young group of performers combined with the sheer fun of the seasonal feast," in the words of artistic director Anne Azema. "Enjoy these performances, which are drawn from a vast medieval trove that includes some of the most beautiful music ever produced in Europe." Audiences will hear magnificent medieval song and poetry from France, Provence, England, and Germany, performed by a virtuoso consort of voices and instruments. The Boston area is truly blessed to be the home of a world-famous early-music ensemble. The Boston Camerata began touring overseas in 1974, and in the summer of 2011 it reached new heights, with combined audiences for tours in France, Germany, Belgium, Holland, and Finland exceeding 15,000.

  • Program Notes Machaut
    ABOUT THE MACHAUT MASS by Anne Azéma Program and Production Notes for the upcoming March 29 and March 30 performances Amherst and Cambridge, Ma. The present production of the epoch-making “Messe de Notre Dame” by Guillaume de Machaut (c.1300–77) was the result of a 2011 commission to The Boston Camerata by the Reims Music Festival. The mission confided to us then was to reconsider and reconceive Machaut’s masterpiece, the earliest known polyphonic setting of the mass Ordinary from the hand of a single composer, in honor of the 800th anniversary of the glorious Reims Cathedral. That is the place where Canon Machaut’s music was almost certainly first performed. These 2013 performances in Amherst and Cambridge mark the North American première of that Reims production, a significant milestone both in the history of the Cathedral and of our ensemble. As it is with history’s appreciation of the Reims cathedral itself—a building successively neglected, adored, altered, partially destroyed, rebuilt and restored—our views of medieval musical art in general and of Machaut’s achievement in particular have changed and evolved greatly over the generations. During the Enlightenment and into the earlier nineteenth century, medieval music (or what little was known of it) was generally considered to be crude and primitive. Ever since the earliest transcriptions of medieval polyphony by later nineteenth-century musical paleographers began to circulate, a reappraisal began, and in Machaut’s case appreciation for his musical art has never ceased to grow and progress. His place as one of the greatest composers in music history is now virtually unchallenged, and even his prolific literary output, for so long relegated to the second rank, is now undergoing positive reevaluation.

  • The Transcriber's Art – #51 Josquin
    The Transcriber’s Art – #51 Josquin des Prez by Richard Yates “Take Five. There's a certain piece that if we don’t play, we’re in trouble.” —Dave Brubek It was a familiar situation: deep in the stacks, surrounded by ancient scores, browsing for music that might find artful expression through the guitar. Perusing pages of choral music, I was suddenly struck by the realization that what I was doing was precisely what lutenists 400 years ago had done. While not exactly déjà vu, there was a strong sense of threading my way along paths first explored centuries ago. And if I was struggling with this source material, did they also? What solutions did they find and what tricks did they devise? What can we learn from them to help solve the puzzle of intabulating Renaissance vocal polyphony? The 16th century saw the gradual evolution of musical ideals that culminated in the works of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525–94). Polyphonic music was to be a smooth, effortless flow of independent voices. Predominant stepwise movement emphasized continuity of individual lines but without drawing undue attention to any particular one. Dissonance was largely confined to the weak beats and passing tones or softened through suspensions. With its unique capacity for continuous modulation of timbre, pitch and volume, the human voice was exquisitely suited to this style. The articulation of syllables, true legato and subtle, unobtrusive portamento that connects phonemes and that is inherent in singing all facilitated the tracking of voices through a closely woven texture. Renaissance choral music is inextricably bound up with, and dependent on, the qualities of human voice.

As the smallest unit in the ecclesiastical hierarchy, the parish was the level on which Christians practiced and experienced religion on a daily basis. From an administrative point of view, parishes were defined as territorial entities, but they were in fact constituted by the com- munity of its inhabitants, especially in smaller towns or rural areas. Parishioners – the churchwardens among them – had the respon- sibility to care for their weakest neighbors and contribute to the maintenance of the religious infrastructure. Such commitments often ‘fostered a sense of belonging and ownership in the parish community’.1 Its material exponent was the parish church, often the largest stone building, and both literally and figuratively the center of the town. The church was the framework for the proper adminis- tration of the sacraments. Key moments in parishioners’ lives were ritually celebrated here (fig. 80), from baptism of new-born children and their subsequent confirmation and participation in commu- nion at Mass, over marriage, to funeral rites and burial after having received the last rites by the parish priest.2 The stories chaplain Munters recorded in his diary show that, during the sixteenth century, many of these communal rites of pas- sage were subjected to great pressure. Protestants started question- ing and taunting not just religious images, pilgrimages and miracles, but also the core elements of the parish liturgy.
