In their Miller debut, the award-winning voices of The Marian Consort present a program of sumptuous Renaissance polyphony from some of Scotland’s few surviving 16th-century manuscripts. Works from the ‘Dunkeld’ Partbooks provide a glimpse of the musical riches performed in this period, including the beautiful anonymous Missa Felix namque. In addition, selections from the ‘Wode’ Partbooks showcase pieces by local musicians responding to the changing musical styles and requirements of post-Reformation Scotland.

This program will explore the structure of operatic arias as antecedent to the Italian instrumental forms.  Works for voice and harp by Claudio Monteverdi and sonatas by Dario Castello for violin and harp will explore opposites.  We most deeply appreciate the standard sonata form’s storytelling structure by comparison to its structural opposite, the wildly unstructured stylus fantasticus.
