Harry Christophers

To celebrate the 450th anniversary of Monteverdi’s birth, The Sixteen and Harry Christophers continue their exploration of the composer’s Selva morale e spirituale, his vast anthology of sacred works published in Venice between 1640 and 1641.The programme opens with a dramatic setting of Psalm 112, Beatus vir, and includes the joyful double-choir polyphony of Dixit Dominus and the majestic Gloria for seven voices.This concert will feature a small consort of singers and instrumentalists.MonteverdiBeatus vir (Primo)O ciechi, il tanto affaticar che giova?Laudate Dominum omnes gentes (Primo)Salve Regina (Terzo)Gloria a7Laudate Dominum omnes gentes (Terzo)Salve Regina (Secondo)Laudate pueri (Primo)Chi vol che m’innamoriDixit Dominus (Secondo) a8
