Following up on our 2024 “Sceptered Isle” program highlighting works from the English Choral Tradition, we present concerts of ancient and modern secular a cappella works from France. The program includes choral chansons from the 16th century by composers such as Crecquillon, Janequin, Le Jeune, Passereau, and Sermisy, as well as partsongs by Saint-Saens, folksong settings by Poulenc, and the famous sets of choral songs by Debussy and Ravel. For these concerts, we welcome Halcyon, a wonderful vocal ensemble from Saint Johnsbury.
