"Carmina Burana" (October 27, 2013) - a concert evoking student life and loves in medieval Paris. The production returns to the original thirteenth-century manuscript that inspired twentieth-century composer Carl Orff to write an oratorio with the same name. "Our Carmina Burana is one of our favorites," remarks Camerata's Artistic Director, Anne Az�ma. "The medieval tunes we'll sing are at least as catchy - no, more - than those by Orff."
"No�l, No�l: A French Christmas" (December 19-21, 2013) -surveys the depth and breadth of holiday music and traditions of France, including medieval revels in the northern cathedral of Beauvais, Renaissance carols from Paris, and fifes and drums from the south. The program will be performed in Boston, Lexington, and Newbury.
"Portes du Ciel" (April 13, 2014) - Building on the success the Machaut Mass, we continue the cycle of works commissioned by the Reims Festival (France). Portes du Ciel is a program of French spiritual song sung entirely by women. "The women's voices are seraphic," Az�ma says. "I'm delighted to introduce our Boston friends to the sublime music of Europe's great cathedral towns."
"Lovely Vine" (April 25, 2014) - a production of early American song. The concert's repertoire is drawn largely from The Christian Harmony one of the rarest music books held by the Harvard Musical Association. Vermont tavern-keeper Jeremiah Ingalls published this work in 1805, setting sacred texts to old English drinking songs, carols, and ballads. Audiences should be prepared to experience firsthand these rugged harmonies and hearty melodies. "We'll be including some vigorous sing-alongs," Az�ma advises.
