Consortium Carissimi All Saints and All Souls Debut Concert November 4, 2007

Among the various types of music that flourished in Rome during the 17th century, the Oratories of Giacomo Carissimi are perhaps examples of the most outstanding form of composition of that time. Consortium Carissimi proudly takes on his name as a means for performance practice in both concerts and recordings, moving ahead in the area of the manuscript transcription and the performances of his little known Motets and Cantatas.

Come and join us for what will be a delightful evening of sounds. This All Saints and All Souls program includes music of Carissimi’s friend and colleague, Bonifazio Graziani, and Pier Francesco Cavalli as well as modern day premier performances of three motets of Carissimi. Our first concerts are listed below and are open to the public.
