- Their chosen piece should not exceed 6 minutes. The rest of their time will be spent working with Maestro Zinger.

Musica Sacra + Songs of the Divine at St. John's the Divine last night

Musica Sacra + Songs of the Divine 

At St. John the Divine last night.

Musica Sacra Chorus.

Maestro Kent Tritle, Music Director

Maestro Michael Sheetz, Assistant Music Director

Maestro Kent Tritle conducted last night at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine the Chorus Musica Sacra in a magnificent program of songs of praise.

The program included the following pieces:

Os Justi                                                    Anton Bruckner (1824-1896)

Hark, I hear the Harps Eternal art Alice Parker (1925 -)

City Called Heaven Traditional Spiritual

Janet Pittman, soprano

Alleluia                                                     Randall Thompson (189901984)

The Lamb Robert Convery (1954-)

An American Kedushah Alice Parker

Sara Murphy, mezzo-soprano

John Tiranno, tenor

Op. 16 Deutsche Motette Richard Strauss (1864-1949)

Christine Price, soprano

Sara Murphy, mezzo-soprano

John Tiranno, tenor

Joseph Beutel, bass-baritone

Now is the Cool of the Day Jean Richtie (1922-2015)

Spem in alium                                          Thomas Tallis (c.1505-1585)

Very difficult program performed masterly by the ensemble of some 40 voices and the excellent soloists which he chose for this program, sopranos Janet Pittman and Christine Price, mezzo-soprano Sara Murphy, tenor John Tiranno and bass-baritone Joseph Beutel. 

While beautifully holding the pieces and their message together in a cohesive and expressive way throughout, Maestro Tritle managed some effects in that enormous space which are still resonating in my heart. 

Beautiful voices, beautiful sounds which became mesmerizing phrases that mingled with each other in a music making fashion which I have not heard in a long while.

My standing ovation and applause to Maestro Tritle, to the ensemble and soloists, as well as to Maestro’s assistant, Mr. Michael Sheetz, for a magnificent performance.

 The Pier Miranda Ferraro workshop series presents:

End of Spring and beginning of Summer 2,015 workshops

Our workshop series will continue this year with main selections of the following tittles: Lucia di Lammermoor, Tosca, IV Act of Il Trovatore, I Act of Un Ballo in Maschera and Don Carlo. Solo highlights of these operas will be studied thoroughly in regards to musical structure and its application to the interpretation of these works of art, under the supervision of Maestro Brian Holman, tenor Francisco Casanova. and Yumi Hashimoto at the piano.

At the arrival to these workshops, the participants must have memorized the words and music completely, in order for this work to benefit them.

Singers interested in participating in these workshops should write to info@veramusicaltd.com.

Do come and prepare yourselves, at a very reasonable cost to you, the future repertory that you will be singing.  A professional singer should have many thoroughly prepared roles in his repertoire prior to being  hired - instead of learning a score at the last minute.  

April - Lucia di Lammermoor

April Tuesday 7th, Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th, from 7 to 11 PM,  Friday 10th., at the OTELLO room of the Yeoryia Megremis’ studios, located at 2067 Broadway, 5th floor.

These highlights are centered around the pages sung, without chorus, by Lucia,  Edgardo, Enrico and Raimondo.

Material to be covered:

ACT I Cruda, funesta smania / Odi tu… Narrate… Egli, o rabbia / La pietade in suo favore (Enrico)

Ancor non giunse / Regnava nel silenzio / Egli è luce ai giorni miei / Quando rapito in  estasi. (Lucia)

Egli s’avanza / Lucia, perdona se ad ora inusitata io vederti chiedea. (Lucia / Edgardo)

Appressati, Lucia (Lucia / Enrico)

Ebben? / Di tua speranza l’ultimo raggio tramontò (Lucia / Raimondo)

Per poco fra le tenebre / Dov’è Lucia / Chi mi frena in tal momento to the end 

        of the act.

ACT II Orrida notte è questa come il destino mio / Qui del padre ancor respira lòmbra      inulta / Ah, o sole, più ratto a sorger t’affretta (Edgardo / Enrico)

Cessi, ah cessi quel contento!  (Raimondo)

Il dolce suono mi colpì di sua voce / Ardon gli incensi / Spargi d’amaro pianto (Lucia)
Tombe scene (Edgardo).

(Please bring your own cadenzas already prepared, there is not time in these   

        workshops to help you choose one, the time there is will be used to help you 

        organize your interpretation of what you bring. As far as I am concerned, Ricci is 

        the best source. Please, do not mix and match, that rarely works).
