All Saints’ Episcopal Church

The song of Mary in the Gospel of Luke has been the high point in the evening prayer of the Western church for millennia. Musical settings number in the thousands, but you will be treated to the most magnificent expressions from the Baroque. You will experience the operatic lyricism of Caldara, the kinetic energy of Vivaldi, and the sublime interpretation of Bach.

The Juan de Lienas Vespers

The life of Mexican composer Juan de Lienas is shrouded in mystery. What little we know of the Baroque master comes from envious remarks scrawled by others in the margins of his surviving manuscripts, masterpieces that are exhilaratingly original and technically demanding. Written for the Convento de la Encarnación in the center of Mexico City, this Vespers service has been painstakingly reconstructed and edited by Guest Director Ellen Hargis. The Newberry Consort  and Artistic Director Liza Malamut return to BEMF with an all-female ensemble of nine voices, two trombones, dulcian, viol, and organ to transport us to the 17th-century convent where this sumptuous music was first heard.
