Lamentations & Lute Songs
The 2016 program of GMMEV will feature the Lamentations of Jeremiah by Thomas Tallis, considered to be one of the great masterpieces of the Renaissance era. This work, spanning some 17 minutes of music, expresses the longing for Jerusalem through gorgeous harmonies and the warm sonority of five low voices: alto, two tenors, baritone and bass. The singers will be joined again by lutenist Doug Freundlich from the Boston area to perform a series of lute songs in English and Italian, complementing the choral texture of the Lamentations.
The performances will take place as follows:
· Friday June 10 – First United Methodist Church, 21 Buell Street, Burlington – 7:00 p.m.
· Saturday June 11 – Christ Church, Montpelier, 64 State Street – 7:00 p.m.
· Sunday June 12 – with Ensemble Zephyrus - Seven Stars Arts Center, Sharon, 5126 VT Route 14 – 6:00 p.m.
Tickets are by donation. Anyone is welcome to pay what they can. Our performance in Burlington is generously supported by a Concert Artists Fund grant from the Vermont Community Foundation.
