Bach at One: Divine Muse
Trinity celebrates St. Cecilia
This Bach at One is the first installment of Trinity’s Divine Muse series celebrating Saint Cecilia, whose spirituality and martyrdom have inspired countless works of art, literature, and music. Director of Music Melissa Attebury leads the Trinity Choir and the Trinity Baroque Orchestra in a tribute that includes Bach’s Komm, Jesu, komm; Gott der Herr ist Sonn und Schild, and Benjamin Britten’s Hymn to St. Cecilia — one of the best-known musical tributes to the saint.

Divine Muse: St. Cecilia Mass
A celebration of the patron saint of music
The second installment of the Divine Muse series features Charles Gounod’s deeply moving but infrequently performed St. Cecilia Mass. Trinity’s adaptation replaces the rare string octobass (there’s only one performing instrument in the world!) with the lowest pipes of the magnificent new organ in the church’s nave. This uplifting celebration of St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music, also includes Jessica French’s Strengthen for Service and John Gardner’s A Song for St. Cecilia’s Day.

Divine Muse: Honoring St. Cecilia
A celebration of the patron saint of music
The Divine Muse series culminates on the eve of Saint Cecilia’s Feast Day, with two master works inspired by the patron saint of music: George Frideric Handel’s Ode for St. Cecilia’s Day Overture and Allesandro Scarlatti’s St. Cecilia Mass. Now rarely heard, the latter piece during its time was considered an equal to Bach’s Magnificat. Trinity’s adaptation by music librarian Harrison E. Joyce adds wind instruments to the original orchestration.
