November 11th 2022 at 2pm : Madrigals of War and Love
For our traditional Remembrance Day concert on November 11th, we have constructed a
program that allows us to honour the sacrifices of those who have died in war, and fled war,
including the recent conflict in Ukraine.
Monteverdi’s Madrigals of War and Love depict the metaphorical combats between men and
women on the “battlefield” of romance and love. Set to texts by some of the greatest
Renaissance and 17 th C poets, they contain some of the most daring vocal writing of the early
Baroque era.
We contrast this early baroque music with works from Eastern Europe. We pay tribute to the
people of Ukraine at this tragic time by singing three songs celebrating Ukrainian culture,
including the well-known Testament, the words of which are by Ukraine’s most beloved poet,
Taras Schevchenko. The concert concludes with three works by contemporary Estonian
composer, Arvo Pärt, including the haunting Da Pacem Domine.
We are grateful for the support of the Victoria Foundation and the CRD in the organization of
this concert and encourage all those attending to in turn support the refugees now living amongst
us by make a donation to HELP UKRAINE vancouver island or a similar charity.
