Behold How Good and How Pleasant - Bass
Schola Antiqua • Evanston
Schola Antiqua honors the legacy of musicologist Theodore C. Karp (1926–2015) with an evening highlighting musical repertories illuminated by his scholarship. The concert, directed by Michael Alan Anderson, centers on rarely performed French secular song and twelfth century sacred polyphony from the Abbey of St. Martial in Limoges. The tribute concludes with a complete performance of Orlande de Lassus’ monumental Prophetiae Sibyllarum.
