Please join us, your workshop directors, for a collaborative send-off to the SFEMS summer workshop offerings with works for voices and instruments. The session will open with Rotem introducing a celebratory motet from 1400 by Johannes Ciconia, O Venecie, mundi splendor - O Venice, splendor of the world! This motet celebrates Venice as the pride of Italy and the mother of the sea. Adam will feature Dulces exuviae by Adrian Willaert (c.1550), the great maestro di cappella of Saint Mark’s and founder of the Venetian School and composers. Continuing in the San Marco tradition, Hanneke will follow with the beautiful composition by Andrea Gabrieli O passi sparsi (1587) on a poem by Petrarch. Linda will close the session with the beautiful double-choir motet O Jesu mi dulcissime (1598) by Giovanni Gabrieli, the nephew of Andrea, and organist and principal composer at Saint Mark’s.
SFEMS nationally renowned series of summer workshops, first held in 1980, are now online while we remain socially distant.
