Show Taverner 'Missa' pleases fans, novices Joha Taverner Missa Saacti Wtlhelmi Devotio The SLrteeaChristophers Hyperion Rick Anderson Grade: A- If you're looking for a good introduction to early Tudor church music and hey, who isnt? then Taverner's Missa Sancti may be the best possible starting point. One of his most ON MUSIC Wil-hel- accessible large-scal- e works, it strikes a fine balance between lyrical, "modernist" tendencies and pious, traditional liturgical set- tings. Throughout the piece, Taverner's expressionistic polyphony alternates with strictly monodic respon-sorie- s, creating a gorgeous pastiche of traditional and forward-lookin- g styles. This performance by The Sixteen under Harry Christophers is excep- - tionally beautiful. Taverner's soprano lines are merciless, and I keep expecting to hear shrillness or intonation slippage as the singers soar into the stratosphere, but it never happens. The chorus' intonation and balance are subperb, as is its tone; in fact, The Sixteen may be replacing the Tallis Scholars as my favorite early music choral group. My only quarrel with this record ing is its rather impersonal acoustic. I would have liked the singers to be a bit more forward in the mix, and the resonance perhaps a little less rich. Messe de Tonrnai Ensemble OrganumPeres Harmonia Mundi Grade: A The Toumai Mass is one of several 14th century French masses which pioneered the use of polyphony in liturgical music and pointed the way toward the "ars nova" movement. Modern scholarship indicates that this one was written lor, more accurately, compiled) slightly before the others, making it the earliest known complete polyphonic mass. The most obvious point of reference for this collection of pieces is Machaut's Messse de Notre Dame, Stevenett debuts original songs A lifelong dream starts to unfold into reality for Daryl Stevenett. Making his debut appearance Wednesday at 8 p.m. at Johnny B's Comedy Club in Provo, Stevenett with the Antler Hill Band will perform 14 original tunes. Having been raised on a farm in Western Canada, Daryl writes music taking him back to his country roots. Coming from a musical family of nine children, Daryl with his brothers and sisters performed at many Kiwanis telethons and music festivals in Canada. Every winter would find him singing up at the Cliff Lodge at Snowbird Ski Resort, gaining popularity with the guests. Daryl says, "The time has come after years of writing songs, to compile the best I have and get the public's opinion. I like songs that are upbeat, fun and have that out-of-to- Texas swing to 'em." Steventt says, "The songs to be performed Wednesday are anything but slow, but listeners will find a couple of love songs thrown in here and there." Profits from the concert will be donated to a charity for disabled children. The members of the band include Rich Dixon, lead guitar, a local musician who toured with the Osmond Brothers for years; Don on guitars, a local musician of First Take recordand ing studio; Vince Frates on piano who has played with some top recording artists including Marie Osmond; Rob Honey from Orem on bass guitar, also a song writer and singer; and last but not least, Joel Stevenett on drums, Daryl's younger brother. Salt-mar- SAN JOSE, Calif, (ap) the San of Art opens a new Jose Museum wing on June 1, more than doubling the museum's 45,000-square-fo- ot space. The new wing is adjacent to the original building, an 1892 former U.S. Post Office building which has housed the museum since its founding in 1969. The museum describes itself as the San Francisco Bay area's only museum specifically dedicated to contemporary art on an international scale. Its stated mandate is "to collect, present and make accessible regional, national and international art of our time." The primary inaugural exhibition for the opening of the new building is "Compassion and Protest: Recent Social and Political Art from is thought to have been written just a few years after this one was compiled. The Toumai Mass is a bit starker than Machaut's work, however. True to its time, its harmony revolves primarily around the open fifth; only in the "Credo" and the "Ite Missa Est" do we begin to hear hints of the lush lyricism that would develop in European liturgical music during the next few centuries. Interestingly, the "amen" section the "Gloria" makes use of simple hocketing, a technique Machaut would later use to excellent effect. It would be interesting to know who wrote the individual pieces contained in this work. of the Eli Broad Family Foundation Collection." As contrast and context for the contemporary works on view, the museum will also have on view El Greco's "St. Francis Venerating the Crucifix," on loan from the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, and 47 Rodin sculptures from the B.
