Colossal Baroque: Monumental compositions from 17th-Century Salzburg
Musica Transalpina, a new, professional ensemble dedicated to baroque sacred music, offers their first public performance on Sunday, August 27 2023 at 3 P. M. at St. Mark's Church in Newport Beach.
This program features large-scale choral works in the so-called "Colossal Baroque" style by Muffat, Biber, Kerll, and Megerle which are seldom ever performed in America. These towering compositions are scored for enormous vocal and instrumental forces, including Muffat's only surviving vocal work, his "Missa in labore requies", written in 25 parts distributed across five (5) separate choirs.
Musica Transalpina is a professional vocal & period instrument ensemble dedicated to the research & historically-informed performance of baroque liturgical music. Musica Transalpina is incorporated as a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit corporation, and all donations are wholly tax-deductible.
This performance is made possible by a generous grant from the Colburn Foundation.
