Guest artistic director Priscilla Herreid leads Blue Heron singers and members of Philadelphia’s Piffaro—playing winds, brass, and strings—in a program of German music from the minnesängers to Oswald von Wolkenstein.
Journey through three-hundred years of secular medieval song (c. 1150-1450) during a time when poetry was king and rhythm is derived from the text. Experience Sophie Michaux, Jason McStoots, Sumner Thompson, and David McFerrin singing poetry of love, mortality, and strife in solo unaccompanied songs, lightly-accompanied minnelied, and love duets hushed by the dutiful “watchman.” Hear the vivid colors of the shawm, sackbut, slide trumpet, douçaine, and bagpipe in music composed for 15th-century civic wind bands.
