View the video of our May 2 concert.
Choir of St. Luke in the Fields with Baroque in the Fields orchestra
The concert features the music of Claudio Monteverdi for the service of Vespers, including pieces from the Selva morale e spirituale anthology of 1641 and the ever-popular Beatus vir. The service of Vespers in seventeenth-century Venice was a musical extravaganza, a Concert Spirituel. The church music of Monteverdi and his contemporaries reflected the “modern style” of the day, with dazzling displays of vocal virtuosity and a kaleidoscope of instrumental colors.
