This past February, San Francisco Renaissance Voices (SFRV) began its seventeenth season with a program entitled A Choral Renaissance. This was an “anniversary” program, which highlighted sixteen compositions that revisited performances that were given during the ensemble’s first sixteen years. This coming February, SFRV will launch its eighteenth season with a “follow-up” program entitled A Choral Renaissance II.
The program will again feature significant compositions from the SFRV repertoire. These will include Gregorio Allegri’s setting of Psalm 50, usually known simply as “Miserere,” Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina’s Missa Papae Marcelli setting of the Mass text, and selections from Claudio Monteverdi’s third book of madrigals. The program will also include shorter works by William Byrd, Josquin des Prez, Thomas Tallis, Thomas Tomkins, and Tomás Luis de Victoria. The ensemble will be led by Music Director Don Scott Carpenter.
