The Motet and Cantata of the Early Roman Baroque: a lecture/recital by Garrick Comeaux and Consortium Carissimi, with Kelley Harness February 12, 2009

Garrick Comeaux is the founder of Consortium Carissimi, a group created in 1996 with the intent of uncovering and bringing to modem day ears the long forgotten ltalian-Roman music of the 16th and especially the 17th century. With a profound interest in sacred music, in particular the Motets and Oratories, Consortium Carissimi recreates at each concert event, an atmosphere in which the listener is involved completely in the content of the texts. Kelley Harness is a professor of Musicology at the University of Minnesota.
