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. -

WOLFRAM LATTKE Tenor ROBERT POHLERS Tenor FRANK OZIMEK Bariton DANIEL KNAUFT Bass HOLGER KRAUSE Bass Unverwechselbarer Klang, atemberaubende Homogenität, musikalische Stilsicherheit und eine gehörige Portion Charme und Witz sind die besonderen Markenzeichen von amarcord. Das äußerst Facettenreiche und breitgefächerte Repertoire umFasst Gesänge des Mittelalters, Madrigale und Messen der Renaissance, Kompositionen und Werkzyklen der europäischen Romantik und des 20. Jahrhunderts sowie A-cappella-Arrangements weltweit gesammelter Volkslieder und bekannter Songs aus Soul und Jazz. Dem Neuen gegenüber auFgeschlossen, legen die Sänger großen Wert auF die PFlege und Förderung zeitgenössischer Musik. So schrieben u.a. Bernd Franke, SteFFen Schleiermacher, Ivan Moody, James MacMillan, Sidney M. Boquiren, Siegfried Thiele und Dimitri Terzakis Werke für amarcord. Wenngleich reine A-cappella-Programme im Mittelpunkt der Konzerttätigkeit stehen, gibt es regelmäßig Projekte mit namhaFten Ensembles und Künstlern wie dem Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, der Lautten Compagney, dem Swedish Chamber Orchestra, dem Vogler-Quartett, dem Ensemble Modern, der Pianistin Ragna Schirmer, dem Bandoneonvirtuosen Per Arne Glorvigen, der Gambistin Hille Perl und Friend 'n Fellow.

Im Jahr 2002 gewann das Ensemble den Deutschen Musikwettbewerb, nachdem es bereits zwei Jahre zuvor mit dem Stipendium und der -

amarcord Wolfram Lattke • Martin Lattke • Frank Ozimek • Daniel Knauft • Holger Krause Sunday Concert Series: German Vocal Quintet amarcord Sings Romantic and World Music This Sunday, April 3, the Gardner Museumʼs Sunday Concert Series welcomes renowned German vocal quintet amarcord to MassArtʼs Pozen Center for an afternoon of a cappella song. @the gardner caught up with bass Daniel Knauft, a founding member of amarcord, by phone from Stuttgart, Germany, to ask a few questions about the group and the upcoming performance. amarcord has been singing together for nearly two decades now—in fact, 2012 will mark your twentieth anniversary. How did the group get its start? We first met as choirboys in the St. Thomas Boys Choir (or Thomanerchor) in Leipzig, where we all sang together from the age of nine to eighteen. The choir was made famous by Johann Sebastian Bach [Bach served as choir director from 1723-1750 and is buried in the churchyard], and his spirit is all around. We grew up performing Bach works by heart. You should also bear in mind that this was East Germany in the 1980s, on the other side of the Iron Curtain. Imagine what the music of Bach meant to people who werenʼt allowed to live their faith or travel where they wanted. In that atmosphere, protected by the work of Bach, we grew up pretty freely, touring to West Germany and Japan, among other places. Of course, as children you take this for granted, but the older you get the more you realize how special it was. We formed this group in 1992, when the oldest among us was aging out of the choir but we didnʼt want to stop singing together. -

PB 1 WWW.PHAEDRACD.COM · 1992 - 2012 Phaedra’s Whys and Wherefores !is catalog simultaneously lists and celebrates the achievements of Phaedra in the twenty years of its existence. At "rst blush publishing just over one hundred CDs in twenty years time may not look impressive. But it is very impressive, as you will see once you know the whys and wherefores of Phaedra. It is the purpose of this introduction to tell you about them. In spite of the .com extension in the URL of its website (www.phaedracd.com), Phaedra is not a commercial undertaking. It is part of a non-pro"t organization, Klassieke Concerten vzw. It was started by one man, and it still is almost entirely the work of one man. He has no sta#, not even a part-time secretary. His o$ce is a room in his house; his storage space, another room. He does everything himself. He decides which music Phaedra will publish, often searching out totally unknown works, including quite a few that are available only as manuscripts. He chooses the performers, in consultation with the composers if these are still alive. He takes care of the logistics of the recording sessions, and of the production process, of the covers and booklets as well as of the CDs proper. He is in charge of all publicity and of marketing Phaedra. It is impossible to justly evaluate the achievements of Phaedra without knowing it is a one-man operation. Like most Flemish non-pro"t organizations, it is also a shoestring operation. -

Amarcord & Singer Pur Friday 26.04.2019 8PM Huelgas
MAIN PARTNER WELCOME PRESENTS Dear a cappella fans, Astonishingly, this is the 20th time that the a cappella Festival of Vocal Music has been held! To celebrate this milestone in the history of what started out as a ‘birthday party with friends’, this time we’ve only invited familiar faces to participate. Friends who’ve been a source of joy and inspiration to us over the years – and that means you, our loyal audience, as well as ten unique vocal groups! Between them, our guests have racked up a stack of awards including eight Grammys, not to mention nearly 300 years of performing experience. Above all, they excel with exception- al quality and great personality, and are all reasons why a cappella music is simply timeless. Look forward to the classical qualities of the Belgian Huelgas Ensemble and Voces8 from the UK. Get ready for Norwegian folk with Trio Mediæval as well as the majesty of the legendary Chanticleer and The Swingles! Singer Pur and Viva Voce, two of the best German ensembles of their kinds, will be appearing, and there’ll also be a chance to see last year’s contest winners: WindSingers from Hungary and Aba Taano from Uganda. Immerse yourself even further in the world of vocal music at the workshops and lectures – and dis- cover brand new faces at the 12th International a cappella Contest Leipzig. Once again, a cappella champions diversity, boundless art, and the enormous joy of 26.04. – 04.05.2019 singing. Don’t miss it!
