PIFFARO- Happy 500th Birthday, Cipriano de Rore. A celebration featuring Renaissance vocal quartet, Laughing Bird
Friday, May 15, 2015 8:00 pm
Celebrating birthdays is always a joyous affair, and when the birthday in question is the 500th of one of Italy’s most consequential renaissance composers, namely the justly renowned Cipriano de Rore, the party should be grand indeed!
That’s what Piffaro intends in its final concert of this 2014 – 2015 season: an instrumental and vocal celebration of the works of this pivotal composer in the history of western music. How pivotal? None other than the great Claudio Monteverdi praised the composer as the originator of the “second practice” in musical composition, which we today know as the music of the baroque.
As a special treat, there will be birthday cake and the world premiere of a newly-composed work written in renaissance polyphonic style especially for this occasion and this composer by Piffaro’s dear friend and colleague, Geraldo d’Oriente! We couldn’t do the great Cipriano justice without superb vocalists, knowledgeable in 16th century performance technique. Such singers don’t grow on trees, but we’re lucky: Philadelphia boasts its own Renaissance vocal quartet, The Laughing Bird, who we have invited to join Piffaro in bringing this wonderful and emotive music to life.
