The Pow'r of Musicke

Melos performs works of Purcell & Handel celebrating music’s patron saint and emotive power, from subtle to spectacular. Hear the trumpet-laden splendour of Purcell’s Te Deum & Jubilate, with choir & orchestra, just as it was performed in St. Paul’s Cathedral, 1694; and Handel’s expressive Ode for St. Cecilia’s Day. Guests David Roth, Baritone, and Bud Roach, tenor & theorbo player join Melos musicians with a selection of intimate solo arias and short instrumentals by Purcell & Handel. Guest Baroque Trumpeters Paul Sanvidotti and Duncan Campbell join Melos’ Jennifer Day, performing Britten’s Fanfare for St. Edmundsbury of 1959, showing the ongoing appeal of Baroque instruments. Melos is thrilled to host workshops with Ivars Taurins of Tafelmusik in our preparations for this exciting program!
