Join members of Third Coast Baroque for this intimate program of sacred poetry from Song of Songs.

Often called Song of Solomon, these lyrical and tender Old Testament words — a tribute from beloved to another — were well-loved in 17th century Italy. Composer Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) and his contemporaries took pleasure in depicting passionate love through luscious and delicate melodies.

Experience rarely heard compositions by Monteverdi, Sances, Cima, Bernardi, Frescobaldi and others.
