The final concert of our 51st season showcases the “sublime” (San Francisco Classical Voice)
sound of CBS in two rarely performed choral gems of the High Baroque. Agostino Steffani’s
1727 Stabat Mater, weaves vocal solos, duets, trios, and choral interludes into a tapestry of
exquisite polyphony, charting the spiritual journey from grief to divine redemption. We will
also present the richly expressive Requiem in F minor composed in 1692 by Heinrich Ignaz
Franz von Biber. Scored for five-part choir and a quartet of vocal soloists, accompanied by
strings, trombones, bassoon, and organ, this work has been recognized as one of the most
impressive requiem settings of the 17th century.
