Synopsis

Product Description
Treasures of Devotion by the Boston Camerata, under the artistic leadership of singer/director Anne Azema, features a program of early Renaissance spiritual pieces (and their related secular songs) by Josquin des Pres, Heinrich Isaac, Clemens non Papa, Claudin de Sermisy, and others in sterling performances. These miniature masterworks were intended not for grand cathedrals or public ceremony, but for personal meditation, private chapels and rooms, family houses and assemblies. Like the examples of intricately carved boxwood devotional objects housed at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto which directly inspired this program, these contemporaneous musical works are precise in their craftsmanship, rich in subtle details, and lead us to wonder, and to contemplation.
