The Songs of Lent
All Saints’ Episcopal Church, Atlanta
Nathan Medley, countertenor
Daniel Moody, countertenor
Joanna Blendulf, viola da gamba
Cain-Oscar Bergeron, traverso
Kirk M. Rich, harpsichord
This concert explores early eighteenth-century expressions of lament appropriate for the season, including the poignant Lamentations of Jeremiah as set by François Couperin. This music will come to life in the voices of countertenors Nathan Medley and Daniel Moody, both noted for their expertise with early music. Cain-Oscar Bergeron joins the Baroque band on the traverso, a wooden instrument preceding the Western concert flute. Joanna Blendulf will play the viola da gamba, similar to the cello but fretted like a guitar. And Kirk Rich will showcase the All Saints’ harpsichord.
