Barber Evening Concert
- Andrew Kirkman, Director
This Barber Evening Concert is the culmination of an amazing feat of musical detective work: Fabrice Fitch recreated the two missing parts of Obrecht’s Missa Scaramella, only two of whose four voices survive (in partbooks) today. The achievement is sensational, and a fabulous tribute to our long-time collaborator Philip Weller, who began the project and who sadly passed away before it could be completed.
To this great work we add two further pieces completed by Philip: Brumel’s Philippe qui videt me, and the stunning Mater Patris by Obrecht. Plus Fabrice’s own Planctus, written in memory of our dear friend. Further motets by Obrecht and Agricola and the two surviving songs on Scaramella round off the recital.
