Choral Cacophony #9 - It's all Latin to me...

Choral Cacophony Podcast

Working on our most popular piece of Sacred music, Missa Brevis, by Antonio Lotti, Pierre gets into the Nitty Gritty of a Latin Ditty. Choral Cacophony podcast #9 focuses on a few vocal peccadilloes from sections of this lovely Mass. If you've ever wondered about Latin pronunciation for singing - yes, it is different! More on those differences in a later Podcast :) *PleaseDONATE to support our 40th year events! * All Donations receive a charitable receipt.
