A French Christmas

  • St. Martin's Church 50 Orchard Avenue Providence, RI, 02906 United States (map)

with Schola Cantorum of Boston presented by Museum Concerts RI

Schola Cantorum is joined by two treble viols and theorbo in presenting music of Marc-Antoine Charpentier, the premier French 17th C composer of sacred music.
The delightful cantata “In Nativitatem Domini” (1675) and his Litanies to the Virgin Mary are the centerpieces of the program, and a cappella Christmas motets by Josquin and Mouton help narrate the Christmas story.
