| Luxurious Harmonies: Frank Martin Mass for Double Chorus and Pinkham Wedding Cantata Shake off the winter blues with the rich harmonies of Swiss composer Frank Martin, and Boston’s own Daniel Pinkham. Martin, son of a Calvinist minister, wrote his Mass for Double Chorus in 1922, but considered it a “youthful sin” and did not allow it to be performed until 1963. It has since emerged as one of the great works of the 20th century for unaccompanied chorus. Offering rich vocal textures, it is noted both for its grand scale and profound intimacy. Daniel Pinkham composed Wedding Cantata in 1956 as a gift for the marriage of two friends. Using Biblical texts from the Song of Solomon, it encompasses many moods in the course of its four movements. Marc Feldhusen will accompany on piano.
