SUMMARY:Blackdowns Early Music Projects – J S Bach  Mass in B minor
DESCRIPTION:BEMP’s biennial Grand Baroque series was somewhat interrupted due to circumstances we all hope are now well behind us… We return with a flourish in 2022\, bringing perhaps the most grand of all baroque works to life in Exeter Cathedral\, Mass in B minor by JS Bach. Bach was feeling his years when he completed the full mass sequence\, but he was also making a statement about the immensely inventive and complex musical legacy he was leaving\, much of it unrecognised in his lifetime. \nThe work will be recreated in the expert hands of BEMP’s principal director JanJoost van Elburg with a hand picked choir of singers from all over the UK and western Europe. The orchestra will be led by Oliver Webber with members of the Monteverdi String Band and other invited players from this country’s wealth of expert period instrumentalists. JanJoost is a consummate and widely acknowledged interpreter of Bach’s work; he was recently honoured to work with internationally renowned Bach expert\, Ton Koopman\, preparing choirs for tours of the USA and Netherlands of this baroque masterpiece. \nThe soloists are Amy Haworth (soprano) and Mark Dobell (tenor) who together with the bass\, Jimmy Holliday\, are all highly regarded members of The Sixteen\, The Tallis Scholars. Gabrieli Consort and other prominent vocal ensembles; counter tenor Guy James of the Gesualdo Six is a rising star in the early music world. We are delighted to have them all in the team for this exciting performance.

SUMMARY:GRAND BAROQUE IV: Sances and Biber in Exeter Cathedral
DESCRIPTION:Giovanni Felice Sances (c1600 – 1679) Missa Sancta Maria Magdalenae\nHeinrich Ignatz von Biber (1644- 1704) Requiem à 15\nDirector JANJOOST VAN ELBURG\nSoloists: Amy Haworth\, Claire Lees\, Caroline Trevor\, Ingeborg Bröcheler\,\nMark Dobell\, Mark Bonney\, Thomas Flint & Simon Whiteley\nThe Monteverdi String Band\, English Cornett & Sackbut Ensemble \nBorn in Rome\, Sances established himself as a composer of secular music and virtuoso tenor. He was recruited to the Austrian Habsburg Court at Vienna in 1636 and remained there for over 40 years\, first as a singer\, then assistant chapel master and finally imperial chapel master. Just one source of the manuscript of Missa Sancta Maria Magdalenae exists\, in an extensive collection in Kromeríž\, now in Czechoslovakia. The scoring is opulent (seven voices\, two trombetti\, four sackbuts\, two violins and four viols) making it eminently suitable for the Grand Baroque series. \nHeinrich Biber was born in Bohemia to a violinist father and showed early promise as an all round musician\, playing strings\, keyboards and brass. He was mployed in the Salzburg Archbishopric and created much immensely fine music for the Prince Archbishop Maximillian Gandolf and the spacious acoustic of Salzburg Cathedral. Biber’s Mass and Vespers settings are renowned for extensive solo instrumental and vocal writing\, designed for just this space. When the Archbishop died suddenly on May 3rd 1687\, the funeral service was arranged immediately\, leaving Biber just 6 days to produce a new Requiem setting. The result is fantastic; he decided on 15 concerto parts\, six voices\, two trumpets\, three sackbuts and four independent string parts with supporting continuo\, in the unusually bright key of A major.
