BCF Monteverdi Vespers Week – Wednesday
August 3, 2011
Ah! Monteverdi! Genius! I’m pretty busy singing this week and thought I would find another fine example of the music to share…
This one is currently kicking my butt 
The alto part is very low, and there is sooo much text! These Vespers are beautifully crafted. It is a privilege to sing them.
We are singing about five hours per day. The chorus here is top flight and our director is outstanding.
I hope you will enjoy!

Good post!
Love the period instruments. Didn’t realize how much the brass covered the entire cantus line. We didn’t really need them, did we
Still ringing in my ears.
Cheers,
Bob
Nope! I think we could have done with a whole lot less brass…..Modern instruments are just too big… . I’m glad that the chorus maintained integrity and did not try to out-sing them…. especially the sopranos singing Santa Maria… they were great! (just too covered by the @$%#&^% brass!)
I’m enjoying the “ringing”!
Cheers back to you

Beautiful voices. (I agree on the Brass. it’s a bit loud.
Sending healing thoughts and best wishes.
Have you heard about Avemar? I’ve only discovered this Niacin product today so I still have to do research.
Hi Inge! thanks for the visit
I’ve never heard of Avenar… I’m going to do some searching myself!
