In recognition of Juneteenth, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States, we offer “Hebrew Children,” from the Sacred Harp (first edition 1844), which draws its stirring imagery of bondage and liberation from the Book of Daniel.

Treasures of Devotion, by the Boston Camerata under the artistic leadership of singer/director Anne Azéma, features a program of miniature masterworks by Josquin des Pres, Heinrich Isaac, Clemens non Papa, Claudin de Sermisy and others in sterling performances. This collection of early Renaissance spiritual pieces (and their related secular songs) were intended not for grand cathedrals or public ceremony, but for personal meditation, private chapels and rooms, family houses and assemblies.
Directly inspired by the examples of intricately carved boxwood devotional objects 
housed at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, these contemporaneous musical works are precise in their craftsmanship, rich in subtle details, and lead us to wonder and to contemplation.
