Sacred Music


Choose your own performance from these Monteverdi favorites:
Ave Maris Stella
Beatus Vir
Dixit Dominus
Duo Seraphim
Nigra Sum

For Beatus Vir,
this one is by Andrew Parrott and the Taverner Players & Consort;
this one has captions in Latin and English;
this one shows a tight focus shot on each soloist as he/she performs,
I must admit the lead soprano gives a most fetching emphasis to her words,
seeming to be singing right to the viewer.
