Yale Schola Cantorum, 2004-2005
Simon
Carrington, conductor
Professor (Adjunct) of Choral Conducting, Yale Institute of Sacred
Music and Yale School of Music.
The Yale Schola Cantorum, now entering its third year, is a 24
voice chamber choir specializing in music from before 1750 and from
the last 100 years. Simon Carrington is the group’s founder
and conductor; it is supported by the Institute of Sacred Music
with the Yale School of Music. In addition to performing regularly
in New Haven and elsewhere, the choir records and tours nationally
and internationally. During its first eighteen months, Schola Cantorum’s
repertoire has included works by Josquin des Pres, Orlando di Lasso,
Schütz, Monteverdi, Biber, Bach, Charpentier, Stravinsky, Dallapiccola,
Rautavaara, MacMillan, and Yale faculty composers Ezra Laderman
and Aaron Jay Kernis. In May 2005 the group performed in southern
England on its first international tour; in August 2005 they travel
to the Monteverdi Choir Festival in Budapest.
Schola's first CD of Heinrich Biber’s 1693 Vesperae longiores
ac breviores, recorded live last December in New Haven and
New York City by Schola Cantorum with the baroque violinist Robert
Mealy and the Yale Collegium Players, has been released to great
acclaim. Distributed by Clarion Records, it is available after August
10 at www.clarionrecords.com/other/ysm_204.html
