SUMMARY:Luminescence Sings Gesualdo's Tenebrae
DESCRIPTION:Luminescence Chamber Singers presents Gesualdo’s Tenebrae\, a program of music featuring Carlo Gesualdo’s Tenebrae Responsories\, which will tour to regional NSW (Braidwood\, South Coast and Wollongong)\, Canberra between 22 March and 4 April\, culminating in a Sydney performance on 5 April. \nWritten in 1611\, more than 400 years later\, the music of Carlo Gesualdo still seems strikingly avant-garde. Composed for his own private use during his final years\, and likely unheard during his lifetime\, Gesualdo’s Tenebrae Responsories are of unmatched intensity. This is music at the end of an epoch; at once steeped in and a radically unsettling subversion of the traditions of the sixteenth century. \nThe first set of Responsories for Maundy Thursday (Feria V) evoke Christ’s abandonment\, betrayal\, and death. Gesualdo’s dramatic settings reflect the angst of the passion story\, alongside his own bloody encounter with death – in 1590 he murdered his wife Maria d’Avalos and her lover Fabrizio Carafa\, Duke of Andria\, when he discovered them ‘in flagrante delicto’. Gesualdo’s punishment was as self-inflicted as the crime. His status as prince saved him from criminal persecution; instead he saw out his days living as a recluse\, tormented by grief and guilt. \nTranslating literally to ‘darkness’\, the plural form of ‘Tenebrae’ is fitting; it implies a multiplicity\, all-encompassing shadows;  a plunge into the twin darkness of deeply personal grief and of universal sorrow. \nLuminescence Chamber Singers is a professional vocal ensemble based on Ngunnawal and Ngambri country (Canberra\, ACT). The group has emerged as one of Australia’s most exciting professional ensembles\, championing the unbound expressive potential of our original instrument: the human voice. \nThe program: Carlo Gesualdo\, Responsoria et alia ad Officium Hebdomadae Sanctae spectantia  (1611) \nFeria quinta (Maundy Thursday): In monte Oliveti/ Tristis est anima mea/ Ecce vidimus eum/ Amicus meus osculi/ Judas mercator pessimus/ Unus ex discipulis meis/ Eran quasi agnus innocens/ Una hora non potuistis/ Seniores populi consilium \nMiserere mei\, Deus \nBookings \n1 hour no interval \n  \n  \n
