Music from Ockeghem to Josquin celebrating the musical, technological, and scientific inventions from the 15th & 16th centuries

As the Middle Ages ended and the Renaissance began, music and technology experienced an explosion of innovation and invention. The printing press, flying machines, golf, whiskey, parachutes, bell chimes, toothbrushes, spring-driven clocks…these inventions and more changed society as we knew it.

At the same time, music was undergoing innovations of its own. From the interlocking polyrhythms of Johannes Ockeghem and Antoine Busnoys to the aural revolution of Josquin des Prez’s exquisite motets, music in Europe was never the same.

This concert features the revolutionary sounds that changed the course of music in Europe and beyond. A consort of medieval and early Renaissance singer-specialists are joined by instruments that reflect the musical and mechanical evolution of the time: a medieval “alta cappella” band of two shawms and medieval slide trumpet will transition to a more “modern” (16th-century) grouping of shawms, dulcians, sackbuts, and recorders–allowing the audience to visually chart the music’s aural and technological evolution from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.

The ensemble will be joined by Mary Vanhoozer-Rodriguez, a Chicago-based specialist on hurdy-gurdy, and Dani Zanuttini-Frank on plectrum and Renaissance lute. Projection artist Shawn Keener will display images and drawings of 15th- and 16th-century inventions, including diagrams by Leonardo da Vinci, Johannes Gutenberg, and more.

——————

The Newberry Consort brings together singers and instrumentalists of the highest caliber to create historically informed performances of music from the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Baroque, and beyond. By integrating historical performance and research with contemporary themes and multimedia, we inspire audiences, musicians, and scholars by providing a window into earlier times and diverse cultures. The Consort continues to uplift Chicago’s early music community through mentorships, teaching, and engagement of local artists.

Following the dropping of the atomic bomb, America is plunged into a frenzy of Cold War paranoia. And as Dwight D.

But as exponential escalation and communist conspiracies pull the president ever closer to his wit’s end, he discovers that the true evil lies closer than he thinks.

Produced in collaboration with the Eisenhower Presidential Library for the America 250 celebration, this dark comedy explores the classic American pastime: Fear.

Content Disclosure: The Well-Lit Shadow contains references to nuclear war and minimal cursing.
