Bach Collegium San Diego: Vespers
625 Pennsylvania Avenue, San Diego, 92103
Cost: $10 - $50
Written just over four hundred years ago, Claudio Monteverdi’s Vespers was included in an imposing volume of Italian church music in honor of the Virgin Mary. In this volume, Monteverdi included a six-part setting of the Mass in the old style, contrasting a sequence of Psalm settings, hymns, ravishing motets for solo voices, a sonata, a hymn, and a seven-part part setting of the Magnificat.
