If you wonder what they thought about our Machaut mass when we sang it at the Reims Cathedral last season, read on:

“A feast!” ran the headline in L’Union, the main paper of Reims. The reviewer continued: “An exceptional event…ravishing…Suave timbres, luminous interplay of voices, perfect balances, supple melismas, pure diction.”

You can experience all of this March 29 in Amherst and March 30 in Cambridge, MA.

A Gothic Easter: Machaut’s Magnificent Mass

A Gothic Easter: Machaut’s Magnificent Mass
A Gothic Easter: Machaut’s Magnificent Mass
The Boston Camerata led by Anne Azéma, Artistic Director, presents Machaut’s “Messe de Nostre Dame.” Composed by Guillaume de Machaut in Reims circa 1360, the magnificent Mass of Our Lady is the first of its kind in music history. Yet it still speaks directly to the heart across the centuries. We will surround this work with richly expressive Gregorian chants from the cathedrals of Northern France. The Camerata is assisted by Convivium Musicum (Michael Barrett, director).
