Tenebrae Responsoria
by Carlo Gesualdo

AVE probes the heart and mind in a performance of the awe-inspiring and terrifying Tenebrae Responsoria by Carlo Gesualdo, one of the most controversial composers in Italian history. Jonathan Dimmock leads AVE in a program of 27 works that bring to life the Tenebrae Responsories for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, in a searing, dramatic concert. Gesualdo’s distinct, tortured musical style was not replicated by any composer until Schoenberg!
