8:00 p.m., Friday
May 6, 2005
Christ the King Lutheran Church 
2353 Rice Blvd.

Tickets: 713-432-1744

Houston Early Music will present the West Coast-based baroque ensemble La Monica in the ensemble’s Houston debut at 8:00 p.m., Friday, May 6 at Christ the King Lutheran Church, 2353 Rice Blvd. The program, Out of the Depths, highlights the interactions between German and Italian cultures following the ruins of the Thirty Years War —a time when Germany entered a period which produced a great flowering of music characterized by cosmopolitan tastes and the steady exchange of ideas over political boundaries. Many German musicians traveled to Italy in order to study with such masters as Monteverdi and Frescobaldi, and many Italian musicians were imported to German-speaking lands.

The program features sacred works by the north Germans: Buxtehude, Tunder and Bernhard, and instrumental chamber works by Austrians: Kerll, Schmelzer and Rosenmuller.

Prior to the concert, at 7:00 pm, Dr. John Lienhard (author and voice of NPR’s The Engines of Our Ingenuity) will discuss scientific advances during the period following the Thirty Years War.

Ticket prices are $30 for general admission, $25 for seniors and $10 for students (under age 25 with student ID). Free admission for children under 12. Tickets may be purchased at the door or by calling 713-432-1744.

The Pittsburgh-based ensemble was named as Best New Classical Artist of 1999 by National Public Radio and in 1999 received the Early Music Brings History Alive Award from Early Music America and the Logan Award from Penn State Erie, both in recognition of its innovative educational programming. Chatham Baroque has released six critically acclaimed CDs for Dorian Recordings.

Ms. Baxter currently serves on the faculty of Amherst Early Music Festival, Texas Early Music Festival as well as serving as Artistic Director and Vice-President of The Historical Harp Society.

Houston Early Music presents the world's finest period ensembles and soloists ... bringing to life music from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance to the Baroque and Classical periods. Experience with us early music played on original instruments, by musicians reviving performances of the past.

Houston Early Music is pleased to present a return performance by the period-instrument ensemble, Rebel, in a program of chamber music from seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Italy, Germany, and Austria which traces the origins of the quintet as we know it today, written for the richly sonorous formation of two violins, two violas and basso continuo. Rebel’s performance features rarely performed works by Salamone Rossi, H.I.F. Biber, Johann Rosenmüller, Georg Muffat, and Georg Phillip Telemann. 

Named after the innovative French Baroque composer Jean-Féry Rebel (1666-1747), Rebel was originally formed in The Netherlands in l99l. In the Fifth International Competition for Ensembles in Early Music, Utrecht 1991, Rebel was awarded first prize. Since then the ensemble has performed at European venues such as the Holland Festival Oude Muziek, Tage Alter Musik Berlin, the Resonanzen Festival (Vienna), La Chapelle Royale (Versailles), Internationale Festtage für Alte Musik Stuttgart, Tage Alter Musik Regensburg and the Händel Festspiele (Halle an der Saale, Germany), among others.

Rebel is currently in residence at historic Trinity Church, Wall Street in New York City, collaborating with Trinity Choir in works ranging from the cantatas of Bach to the major oratories of, Handel, Bach, Mozart and Haydn.

Prior to the concert at 7:00 pm, Dr. John Moran, Rebel cellist and Peabody Conservatory professor, will present a lecture entitled "In Search of the Origins of the Sonata."

A return engagement by this Houston favorite! Baltimore Consort returns with a selection of old carols and dance tunes from the British Isles, France and Appalachia performed on lute, flute, voices and viols in a program sure to delight the entire family. You and yours are invited to join us after the concert in the Great Hall for wassail and holiday treats.

Founded in 1980 to perform the instrumental music of Shakespeare's time, the Baltimore Consort has explored early English, Scottish, and French popular music, focusing on the relationship between folk and art song and dance. Their interest in early music of English/Scottish heritage has also led them to delve into the rich trove of traditional music preserved in North America. Recordings on the Dorian label have earned them recognition as Top Classical-Crossover Artist of the Year (Billboard), as well as rave reviews elsewhere. Besides touring in the U.S. and abroad, they often perform on such syndicated radio broadcasts as St. Paul Sunday, Performance Today, Harmonia and the CBC's OnStage.

For program information, please see our website at http://www.houstonearlymusic.org/2003/Baltimore.htm 

Tickets are $25 for general admission, $20 for seniors and students and may be purchased at the door or by calling 713-432-1744.

Musica Pacifica

Friday, April 11, 2003, 8:00 p.m.
First Presbyterian Church

Renowned vocalist and cornettist Michael Collver joins Bay Area favorite
Musica Pacifica in exploring the astonishing range of passions in the music
and poetry of 17th century Italy.

Early Conversations Lecture Series
The Splendor of the Serenissima
Dr. Edgar Peters Bowron, Museum of Fine Arts Houston
7:00 p.m., First Presbyterian Church


Houston Early Music is pleased to present Musica Pacifica in a concert of
seventeenth-century Italian instrumental and solo vocal music.  Led by
artistic directors Judith Linsenberg and Elizabeth Blumenstock, Musica
Pacifica has been performing, touring, and recording since 1990.  Mining a
rich vein of baroque literature for mixed wind/string ensemble, the group
performs the spirited chamber concerti of Vivaldi and Telemann, colorful
dance suites from the courts and opera houses of France, and the more
intimate solo, duo, and trio sonatas from European countries as diverse as
Scotland, Poland, Spain, and England.  Musica Pacifica has been described by
the press as "some of the finest baroque musicians in America" (American
Record Guide) and "among the best in the world" (Alte Musik Aktuell).  At
home in the San Francisco Bay area, the artists are members of Philharmonia
Baroque, and they appear with many other prominent early music ensembles
nationally and abroad.

Guest artist, Michael Collver is a founding member of Project Ars Nova with
whom he has concertized extensively.  He has performed as soloist with
Ensemble Sequentia, Empire Brass Quintet, Tafelmusik, Boston Baroque and the
Boston Camerata. Among his performances as an oratorio soloist are
appearances with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Roger Wagner Choral.
Mr. Collver is on the faculty at the Longy School of Music in Cambridge, MA
and has taught cornetto and early vocal techniques at summer courses in
Europe and the U.S.

Prior to the concert, at 7:00 p.m., Dr. Edgar Peters Bowron, The Audrey
Jones Beck Curator of European Art, Museum of Fine Arts Houston  will
present a lecture entitled The Splendor of the Serenissima.

Tickets are $25 general admission, $20 for seniors and students, and may be
purchased at the door or by calling 713.432.1744. There will be no charge
for children 12 years and under.

This concert is made possible in part by a grant from the City of Houston
and Harris County through the Cultural Arts Council of Houston and Harris
County.

“PASTOURELLE”
The Springtime Art of Machaut and the Trouvères

Sunday, March 2, 2003, 4:00 p.m.
Christ Church Cathedral
1117 Texas Avenue


Performed by

FORTUNE’S WHEEL

Lydia Heather Knutson & guest artist, Eric Mentzel, voice
Shira Kammen & Robert Mealy, vielle, harp, voice


Houston Early Music is pleased to present Fortune’s Wheel in Pastourelle –
The Springtime Art of Machaut and the Trouvères.   This “virtuosic and
joyful” ensemble (The Cleveland Plain Dealer) will perform a program of
delights from the springtime of Medieval France, from the birth of the
trouvère tradition to the intricate music of Guillaume de Machaut, “the last
of the trouvères”.   Intimate monophony and splendid polyphony are
interlaced with exhilarating instrumental dance music to bring to life the
rich tapestry of 14th -century France.

Fortune's Wheel is a spirited collaboration of four distinguished performers
devoted to rediscovering the riches of medieval musical traditions. Popular
with critics and audiences alike “Fortune’s Wheel takes its medieval music
seriously then transforms [it]...into living, breathing art.” (Cleveland
Plain Dealer)  Described as “exemplary performers whose musical instincts
seem to be so right in everything they do...” (San Diego Reader), their
performances combine a meticulous attention to vocal sonority and
instrumental virtuosity with an engaging sense of theater and improvisation.
“Their enjoyment of the music and the pleasure they took in each other’s
company was contagious.” (Boston Globe) They have been featured at the
Amherst and Boston Early Music Festivals and by early music series
throughout America as well as appearances in Mexico City and Regensburg
Germany. Veterans of over 100 early music CDs, their first CD together,
Pastourelle, is now available on the Dorian label.

Prior to the concert, at 3:00 p.m., Fortune’s Wheel member, Robert Mealy
will present a lecture-demonstration
entitled Finding the Trouvères:  An Exploration of French Culture Around
1300.

Tickets are $25 general admission, $20 for seniors and students, and may be
purchased at the door or by calling 713.432.1744. There will be no charge
for children 12 years and under.
