 GLORIES AND
MAJESTY REVEALED
This unique concert of music, composed at a time when
Britain was in a state of religious turmoil, premières several pieces
that have not been heard in public before.

Cappella Fede, named in honour of the Chapel Master of James II,

is an ensemble dedicated to the performance of 17th century sacred
music on period instruments with authentic vocal resources.

This debut performance by Cappella Fede is an exciting programme

of recently rediscovered works by Fede, Miguel Ferreira,
Giovanni Sebenico and others, juxtaposed with much neglected
items by Locke and Draghi.

A highlight will be the world première of keyboard pieces by

the Jesuit composer Antoine Selosse, known to have been circulated
in 17th century England but only recently re-discovered.

The concert will include:

Giacomo Carissimi (1605-74) – Plorate filii Israel
Antonio Cossandi (fl.1640-60) – Dixit Dominus
Innocenzo Fede (c.1661-1732) – Laudate pueri Dominum; Nunc dimittis
Miguel Ferreira (fl.1660-1700) – Trio sonata in G minor
Gottfried Finger (c.1660-1730) – Sonata Decima for strings in G
Matthew Locke (c.1622-77) – Audi Domine
Henry Purcell (1659-95) – Beati omnes qui timent Dominum
Giovanni Sebenico (c.1640-1705) – Laudate pueri Dominum
Antoine Selosse (1621-87) – Toccata in C; Fuga in D
