St. Cross by-the-Sea Episcopal Church (Hermosa Beach, CA)
The Los Angeles Chamber Singers sextet comes to Hermosa Beach to celebrate the season that “a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love,” as Tennyson noted, with a collection of romantically-themed madrigals from the 1500s. These a cappella works of poetry set to music were popular throughout Europe during the Renaissance, and these particular concert selections from music director Peter Rutenberg explore the theme of lust and longing. Featured are works by the most famous madrigal composer, Claudio Monteverdi, along with those by the famed English school. The finale pulls from a 1601 collection by Thomas Morley, The Triumphs of Oriana, a gushing tribute to Queen Elizabeth I.
