William Byrd — Selected works
Juan Bautista Cabanilles — Selected works
Orlando GibbonsSecond Service

Travel back in time to Elizabethan England with The Emmanuel Choir and Viol Consort during this traditional service of Choral Evensong. The viol (or, viola da gamba) was a very popular instrument in the 16th and 17th Centuries; this liturgy will feature richly stunning music for choir and viols, including Orlando Gibbons' sublime Second Service. Choral Evensong is preceded at 3:30pm by an organ recital featuring music of William Byrd and Juan Cabanilles, performed by concert organist Adam Detzner.

About The Emmanuel Choir (Baltimore)

A fully-professional mixed-voice ensemble, its 12-member core is augmented by four Choral Scholars, each a local music student. Rooted in the great and expansive choral traditions of the Anglican (Episcopal) Church, the Emmanuel Choir's repertoire spans the centuries—from Italian Renaissance to English Romantic; from plainsong to the 21st Century—and includes regular world-premiere performances of new music composed for the Church of today and tomorrow.

The choir is led by Christian Lane, Director of Music.
