Music for 18 Musicians
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
In the wake of Steve Reich's recent 70th birthday hoopla, we'll hear his energetic "Music for 18 Musicians," performed by the Reich Ensemble. New Yorkers can hear it live in concert next Saturday at Carnegie Hall, in an all-Reich program featuring Pat Metheny, the Kronos Quartet, and, of course, the Steve Reich Ensemble.
On the flip side, we'll feature several pieces of music from the 15th-century court of Ercole I, Duke of Ferrara. One of the most significant patrons of the age, he brought many famous Franco-Flemish composers to Italy, including Josquin dez Prez, who dedicated a well-known Mass to the him. The Renaissance ensemble Ex Umbris performs secular songs by Domenico da Piacenza, Antonio Cornazzano, and Guglielmo Ebreo da Pesaro.
