The Rose Ensemble in Concert: Il Poverello October 1, 2010

Medieval bagpipe virtuoso from Milan, Isacco Colombo, joins The Rose Ensemble to explore the world of 12th-16th century Italian music through the eyes of Saint Francis of Assisi and his followers. This program gives listeners a huge variety of choral and instrumental music, including beautiful, otherworldly medieval chant; densely textured Renaissance polyphony; a soaring duet between soprano and harp; wild Umbrian instrumental songs layered with a hint of Middle Eastern influence; and more.
