Short Lives, Lasting Legacies

Robert Parsons, Henry Purcell, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart all died heartbreakingly young — and yet their music continues to resonate with us centuries later. Spanning the Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical periods, this playing meeting will explore music ranging from Parsons’ serene Ave Maria to Pergolesi’s poignant and luminous Stabat Mater, and from Purcell’s clever canons to Mozart’s witty rounds. These beautiful selections of sacred and profane music in 3-5 parts reveal brilliant genius distilled into too few years — music that feels at once complete, and yet leaves us with tantalizing “what ifs.” Travel from the Renaissance to the Baroque and Classical eras as we explore humorous rounds, heartfelt laments, and radiant sacred works by composers whose genius burned brightly but briefly.
