Giovanni Battista Pergolesi — Stabat Mater, P. 77
Antonio Vivaldi — Violin Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op. 8, RV 315 "L'estate" ("Summer" from The Four Seasons)
Johann Sebastian Bach — Bekennen will ich seinen Namen, BWV 200
Alessandro Scarlatti — Salve Regina in G minor

The season of seasons closes by honoring the themes of light, love, and rebirth through acclaimed works by Pergolesi, Scarlatti, Bach, and Vivaldi. In Vivaldi's "Summer," the cuckoo, dove, and goldfinch sing in the blazing sun before the winds begin to blow. Following an homage to Scarlatti, including his Salve Regina in G minor, we conclude with a work that he inspired; Pergolessi's final masterpiece, Stabat Mater. Its dancing rhythms and decorative trills contrast effectively with the tender, passionate text sung by soprano Anna Dennis, rounding out the season with a sense of joy and hope.
