Sunday, 25 August: Lotti's Misere

Antonio Lotti, d. 1740

This Sunday, our anthem will be Antonio Lotti's Miserere, one we have done a number of times in the past. If you'd like to learn or review your part, here are some links that will help.

Here's a performance of the piece.

And here is a Youtube playlist that contains practices files (score and MIDI recording) for the four parts together, as well as a practice file for each individual vocal part.

You can download the score here (same edition we are using, I believe). Happy singing!

Did you know: Antonio Lotti was an Italian Baroque composer. Lotti was born in Venice, although his father Matteo was Kapellmeister at Hanover at the time.

For our patronal feast day, 15 August 2013

For our patronal feastday, the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the choir will be singing Josef Haydn's Missa Brevis Sancti Joannis de Deo, also known as his Kleine Orgelmesse (Little Organ Mass).

To help everyone learn this Mass, there is a playlist on YouTube, with choral renditions of all mass parts, along with practice recordings (with score) for individual vocal parts.

Music for Sunday, 4 August 2013

Because our Communion hymn Sunday is very short, we'll be singing two wonderful, short anthems. The first is Giuseppe Pitoni's Cantate Domino. Find the YouTube playlist here -- a nice choral performance of the piece, as well as practice files, with scores, for each voice.

The second in Ingegneri's O Bone Jesu (often attributed to Palestrina). Here's a playlist for this piece, again including a choral performance of the piece, as well as practice files, with scores, for each voice.
