Title

Exsultemus ::: Period Vocal Ensemble

Description

Excerpted from the website:

Taking its name from the Latin for "let us rejoice," Exsultemus is comprised of eight of Boston’s leading young singers who rejoice in performing early music’s best-known favorites and rediscovered gems spanning the Medieval, Renaissance, and early Baroque periods. Modeled after small estate and chapel choirs, the ensemble performs without conductor, requiring a close relationship between the singers who must rely upon each other for musical cues and phrasing, resulting in vibrant and engaging performances. Exsultemus is committed to historically informed performance, employing just intonation and period pronunciation based on scholarship by experts in the field. In December 2004, members of Exsultemus had the privilege of working with Peter Phillips, director of the renowned Renaissance choir The Tallis Scholars, and in January 2006 traveled to the Aachen Cathedral in Germany as part of an exhibition commemorating the publication of the Rhymed Office of Charlemagne, the manuscript of which is housed at the cathedral.
