Festival Vancouver: "that was then, this is now"
- Monday, August 14, 2006 (Christ Church Cathedral)
This year’s two rich Festival Vancouver themes, the music of Italy and Mozart, offer the perfect opportunity for musica intima to present a program that is tailor-made to shine in its cathedral setting, featuring Renaissance motets by Palestrina along with a set of sacred and profane Mozart canons.
Canada’s premier conductor-less choral ensemble will also showcase its mastery of diverse musical styles by performing a recent work by Vancouver composer Peter Hannan based on Thomas Tallis’ "If Ye Love Me." Hannan’s piece, "Rethink Forever", is a kind of Ten Commandments of Love inspired by the words, "If ye love me, keep my commandments." Rounding out this ear-pleasing program are some of musica intima’s favourite selections from our many popular CD recordings.
