Cambridge Chamber Singers Present: Aphrodite and Friends
Cambridge Chamber Singers
Enjoy some of the most exquisite a cappella works ever written, celebrating love. Like many of the arts, music is able to express many of the facets of love. This program revels in these diverse expressions!
Love of place, for instance, is represented by contemporary Iranian composer Hamid Mardkhanjari’s prizing-winning Konus Kale.
Erotic love–often unfulfilled–is represented by a number of Renaissance madrigals, including stunning works by Cipriano de Rore, Vittoria Aleotti, and Claudio Monteverdi. Neoclassical madrigals by Ildebrando Pizzetti explore the sensual and sacred nature of love.
The love for a child is expressed in two masterful and moving motets, using the Biblical text When David Heard, set by Thomas Tomkins and Norman Dinerstein.
The winner of our CCS International Composition Composition 2025, Isaac Lovdahl’s Quis amat valeat, uses ancient Latin texts to leave us with an appropriate blessing: “whoever loves, may they be well.”
