Texas Early Music Project
“Paris City Limits: Chansons, Dances, and The Birds”
TEMP’s 19-voice chorus will perform large scale motets by masters such as Jean Mouton and Janequin. Lively dances by Attaignant and others feature special guest artists Mary Springfels (viola da gamba), Peter Maund (percussion), and exhilarating Breton folk music rounds out the concert (yes, Cayla Cardiff will sing that song) as TEMP explores both the rustic and the sophisticated sides of Parisian life in the 16th and 17th centuries. Our featured singers include countertenor Ryland Angel (New York), mezzo Erin Calata (Seattle), TEMP members Jenifer Thyssen, Meredith Ruduski, Cayla Cardiff, Stephanie Prewitt, Jeffrey Jones Ragona, Thann Scoggin, Gil Zilkha, and more. The instrumental ensemble features our guest artists as well as harpist Therese Honey, violinist Bruce Colson, our viol consort (Jane Leggiero, Stephanie Raby, John Walters), recorders (Susan Richter & Victor Eijkhout), and lutenist Scott Horton. Venez, y’all!
