More Early Music at the Ruprechtskirche

Tonight I met Mike and Kate for the next in the early music series at the Ruprechtskirche. It was a conert of early italian songs, duets and other short pieces....it featured works by Monteverdi, Kapsberger, Piccinini, Picchi, and Frescobaldi. The two tenors who sang were absolutely incredible....one of them was from southern California! Their blend was absolutely amazing....and the Theorbe player! Completely amazing! He and the gamba player occasionally put their instruments down and picked up these early guitars and backed up the vocalists. It was insanely cool. I took some snapshots of the perfomers during the curtain call, which I'll upload soon. Also, I shot some pretty cool pictures while waiting for Mike and Kate to arrive (I didn't realize that they were already down in the courtyard, and they thought it was really funny that I didn't see them....boy was my face red, since I walked right past them.....) It was a great evening.....probably the best concert I've seen here yet. The Monteverdi and Kapsburger pieces were especially fantastic......anyway, I have to stop writing since I have to finish my dialogues for my oral exam (on Thursday)
