Are they ends of things, or beginnings? Are we more or less of ourselves once they&#x27;ve come and gone?&quot; - Charles Wright, excerpt from &quot;Negative Blue.&quot;This April, Tactus SF explores the human experience of transformation—how we face the inevitability of change and grow through into new life. Change often begins when we are challenged or even wounded, forced to bring an end to one way of being. From that, we are faced with the challenge of how to cross the threshold into the next chapter of our life. It happens to each of us, over and over again. Grief; transformation; new birth.The music of our program echoes this. Pieces by Josquin, Massaino, and de Rore express the grief. Pieces by Gesualdo, Allegri, and Striggio explore the process of transformation. Pieces by Palestrina, Lasso, and Tallis herald our new birth. The concert will also feature instrumental music by guest artists Mane Musica.Concert Program:Alessandro Striggio - Già nimfa hor voceJosquin Desprez - Mille regretzTiburtio Massaino - Anima mea liquefacta estGiovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina - Descendi in hortum nucumOrlando di Lasso - Justorum animaeCipriano de Rore - Strane ruppi, aspri montiCarlo Gesualdo - In monte OlivetiGregorio Allegri - Miserere mei, DeusThomas Tallis - Christ rising againFree-will donation requested.
