Pomerium—Musica Vaticana
European Roots and International Flowerings
March 28, 2008 (Friday) 8:00 p.m.
Pre-concert lecture, 7:30p.m.
St. Turibius Chapel, Pontifical College Josephinum

“Musica Vaticana” features music written between 1503 and 1543 for the Sistine Chapel choir at the very time when Michelangelo was painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling and altar wall. This spectacular music was written for a choir the size of Pomerium. Pomerium was founded by Alexander Blachly in New York in 1972 to perform music composed for the famous chapel choirs of the Renaissance. The name—medieval Latin for “garden” or “orchard” —derives from the title of a treatise by the 14th-century music theorist Marchettus of Padua, who explained that his book contains the “flowers and fruits” of the art of music.
