Housewright Virtuoso Series: Incantare, Violins and Sackbuts (UMA)

“Musical Landscapes Across the New World”

In honor of the 200th anniversary of Florida becoming a US territory, Incantare presents a specially-conceived program of music from worlds both old and new. Our story begins in sixteenth-century Spanish Florida, where the Huguenots sang psalm settings by Goudimel at Fort Caroline and Spanish Catholic church musicians performed the sonorous polyphony of Francisco Guerrero and other Iberian composers. We then travel to Spanish territories throughout the Americas, performing dances, motets, and villancicos from Mexico, Guatemala, and Peru, revealing a complex and fascinating story of transoceanic musical confluence in the communities of North America and beyond. Join this early music ensemble as they take the stage along with collaborative FSU musicians.
