In many ways the most central woman to Western classical music, the Virgin Mary has inspired some of the most poignant and beautiful musical moments in the genre. This is particularly striking in Baroque era music from Latin America, with the confluence of European musical aesthetics, indigenous languages, and complex fusion rhythms. An exploration of Marian devotion, María del Pueblo weaves together anonymous and improvised instrumental and vocal works, ranging from anonymous fragments written in Guaraní, to complete settings of the Latin Magnificat text, to examples of Marian devotion in a very local sense.

Santiago Billoni’s music, recently rediscovered in the archives of the Durango Cathedral, Mexico, expresses virtuosity and beauty through unique musical language. Join Tonos del Sur, a historically-informed ensemble led by baroque violinist Sarah Cranor, as they share an evening of Billoni’s music and that of his contemporaries, including cantatas in indigenous languages, instrumental, and religious music, all exploring rich musical soundscapes from across Latin America during the mid 1700s.

Barry performs Couperin’s Leçons des ténèbres for the Episcopal tenebrae service at Christ Church Cathedral. She will perform with Chloe Boelter, Joanna Blendulf, and Christopher Caruso-Lynch.

For the anniversary of the chancel organ, the choristers and adult singers will present Vierne’s expansive mass for choir and two organs, a performing circumstance rarely used because of the practicality of a church having two full organs in its sanctuary.

Barry joins The Beecher Singers of Second Presbyterian Church to perform The Messiah with Indy Baroque to begin the Christmas season.

A North-American premiere of an Alessandro Scarlatti oratorio. La Santissima Trinità, one of his last oratorios, is thoroughly deserving of revival, despite its unpromising subject of five allegorical characters debating the existence of the Holy Trinity. Such high-flown dissertations were falling out of fashion by 1715 when the work was written. La Santissima Trinità presents a simpler, more dramatically vital show- down between Faithlessness—who, needless to say, does not believe in the Trinity—and Faith, Divine Love, Time and Theology, who do.

The choristers and adult singers of Christ Church Cathedral this collection of seven cantatas by a composer which Bach walked over a hundred miles to see perform, Dietrich Buxtehude, kapellmeister in Lübeck, a city near the North Sea. The seven cantatas are all related to body parts of Jesus: feet, knees, hands, sides, breast, heart, and face.
