Past Event

Italian Vespers

Thirty-seven years before the debut of Messiah, the brash twenty-year-old Georg Frederic Handel was studying the new concertato style in Italy, then the virtuosic center of the Western world. The result was the musically pyrotechnic Dixit Dominus (Psalm 110) designed to flaunt his ability to write elaborate and technically challenging music for both vocal and instrumental performers. Also featured are Miserere by Francesco Scarlatti and a Bach motet. The Concert Singers of Cary Chamber Choir and the new all-professional Cary Choral Artists will be joined by an orchestra of Baroque-period instruments and soloists.
