New!! We are pleased to announce the addition to the WLSCM Catalogue of No. 22 in our series: Two litanies and four Marian antiphons for double choir and organ by Carlo Donato Cossoni (1623-1700), in an edition by Pyrros Bamichas of the University of Athens.
Seicento music lovers in the Houston area may be interested in hearing a performance by the Houston Chamber Choir of Dr. Bamichas's earlier edition of Giovanni Paolo Colonna's Vesper Psalms (WLSCM No. 18), to take place this coming October 29 at St. Philip Presbyterian Church. Other recent performances of WLSCM editions include Thomas Dunn's edition of Marini's Lauda Jerusalem (WLSCM No. 4) by ARTEK at the 2010 Berkeley Early Music Festival. Early Music America reported the work as "a real crowd pleaser"!
Several other editions are currently in preparation. We are always interested in hearing about performances and other uses made of WLSCM editions (see contact information below).
