Our Lessons and Carols program this year takes on the theme to Celebrate This Day. While the selection centers on Christmas, the nativity story carries many universal symbols beyond what is strictly Christian: to welcome all that will renew us, to acknowledge the beauty in the world’s mystery, to think of those who are close to us, and to celebrate as a community.

Schola Cantorum of Eau Claire presents “O Amica Mea: Tribute to William Byrd” (Copy)

The concert commemorates the 400th year since the passing of William Byrd. A master of renaissance polyphony, Byrd influenced so many of his contemporaries with his intricate writing of intertwining lines and dramatic harmonies. The program would include works by three different Thomases: Tallis, Byrd’s teacher and partner in a (failed) publishing business; Morley, Byrd’s student who dedicated a popular music theory book to Byrd; and Weelkes, also Byrd’s student who sadly, like Morley, only lived for about half the years as their beloved teacher.

Schola Cantorum of Eau Claire: "Totentanz"

“Totentanz”: A Musical Meditation on Mortality
To depart is a fundamental experience — one that we may have collectively experienced all too frequently over the last three years. We invite you to reflect and meditate with us through a concert of German music from the Renaissance and the early 20th century. Songs and motets by Eccard, Hassler, Isaac, Schein, and Schütz express the sorrow for the departed, while giving solace and hope to the living. The centerpiece, Totentanz (Dance of Death) composed by Hugo Distler in 1934, draws its text from a Medieval morality play in which Death has a final dialog with people of all walks of life.

Free admission; donations accepted.

Schola Cantorum of Eau Claire ft. Eau Claire Chamber Orchestra

In Mass from Machaut to Mozart, Schola Cantorum of Eau Claire takes the audience through the development of the Mass as a musical genre. How did we go from the very first full setting of the Mass (Messe de Notre Dame by Machaut) to Mozart’s Missa Brevis? Despite the centuries in between, these Mass settings share some surprising origins. We invite you to come along on this discovery.
