From an English Cathedral

In the glorious cathedral-styled space of St. Martin's Church, CANTARE Houston presents treasures of the English cathedral repertoire. Come hear the music that was playing during the famous scandals and drama of the Tudors, the tawdry pomp and circumstance of three Georges, the prosperity of Victorian expansion on which "the sun never set," and the brilliance of Elizabethan England. Music fit to capture the royal court across the ages in all it's splendor and acrimony. Music by Byrd, Tomkins, Gibbons, Parsons, Purcell, Handel, Vaughan Williams, Stanford, Walton, Tavener, and Chilcott.

CANTARE is joined by St. Martin's organist and director of music, Dr. David Henning.

A Fragrance Tender: Christmas with CANTARE

After years of standing-room-only events, CANTARE Houston takes its perennially-sold-out holiday concerts to venues throughout Houston before returning to the magnificence of the MFAH galleries for a single celebratory concert (special limited seating for the MFAH concert). Carol settings, contemporary sounds, new compositions by Ola Gjeilo, and a suite of carols by David Ashley White are featured during these Tenth Anniversary Christmas concerts.

Masters Ancient and Modern: J.S. Bach and Arvo Part

Bach: Singet Dem Herrn Ein Neues Lied (BWV 225), Der Geist hilft unsrer Schwachheit auf (BWV 226), Jesu, meine Freude (BWV 227)
Pärt: Berliner Messe; Bogoróditse Djévo; Zwei Slawische Psalmen

The motets of J.S. Bach are virtuosic pinnacles of the choral repertoire. In a unique pairing, the transcendent Magnificat and Berliner Messe of Arvo Pärt contrast the styles of two masterful pillars of composition and influence.
