Friday Concert: I Heard a Voice

I heard a voice from heaven: Music by Dowland, Morley, Schütz, Marenzio and others. Camilla Toldi Bugge, soprano. Kristin Mulders, mezzo-soprano. Rasmus Gravers, tenor. Rasmus Kure Thomsen, bass. Giulia Cantone, lute. Søren Chr. Vestergaard, organ. Free admission. The concert is kindly supported by Aage og Johanne Louis-Hansens Fond, Beckett-Fonden, Konsul George Jorck og Hustru Emma Jorck’s Fond, Knud Højgaards Fond, William Demant Fonden and Trinitatis Kirkes Musikvenner. The musician and composer John Dowland (1563-1626) was one of the few who became very famous in Europe for his compositions already in his own time. Some of his most productive years took place while he was staying in Copenhagen and was employed in Christian IV's royal chapel. His works are still much played, and Trinitatis Kirke marks the 400th anniversary of his death with a Friday concert in the All Saints' season. Here Dowland's music is set against music by the contemporary composer Thomas Morley, including the 4-part choral work ”Sentences for the Burial of the Dead”, as well as music by Heinrich Schütz, Mogens Pedersøn, Dowland and Marenzio.
