Fior Angelico

Early Music in Columbus

The widespread artistic depictions of the Virgin Mary as the queen of virgins surrounded by four companions demonstrates the great honor paid to these five women during the Middle Ages. This concert commemorates the thorny lives of these martyrs, whose veneration is preserved in numerous medieval musical manuscripts. 

Based in Prague, the Tiburtina Ensemble specializes in the interpretation of Gregorian chant and medieval polyphony. The ensemble ranks among the best in Europe in the field of early music performance thanks to its unmistakable timbre and impassioned expression.

Tiburtina

St. Joseph Cathedral

The Old Testament Song of Songs is a highly evocative biblical poem on the theme of erotic love. A clear outlier in the Hebrew Bible, the poem has been interpreted in Jewish and Christian traditions as an allegory for the love between God and his people. This program will explore choral works based on the Song of Songs by such Renaissance masters as Orlande de Lassus, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, and Tomás Luis de Victoria.
