The vocal ensemble Voicescapes, of Calgary, along with other musicians presented Dietrich Buxtehude`s sacred choral work, Membra Jesu Nostri (The Limbs of Christ) Sunday afternoon, February 5, in the College Heights SDA Church. The programme can be found here and a short video clip of the concert is provided below. The performance was directed by Claude Lapalme, music director of the Red Deer Symphony Orchestra.
This musical gem was the fourth in this year`s Sunday@7 Concert Series. The final performance of the series will feature the Montreal Guitar Trio, Wednesday, March 28, at 8 pm in the Administration Building Chapel.
The organist for Sunday's performance was Wendy Markosky, professor of music at CUC. She played a keyboard that was connected to the pipe organ via MIDI. This allowed the organ to play in "baroque pitch" in which A is 415 Hz rather than the standard 440 Hz.
