Music reviews of Music From The Venetian Ospedali

Music Review: Real San Francisco Values!
Rating: 5 Stars

The San Francisco Girls' Chorus and the SF Boys' Chorus are combining to sing, by invitation, at the inauguration of Barack Husein Obama as President of the United States on January 20th, 2009. I hope that all the TV networks, especially Fox, will broadcast their image to the whole country. Not only do they sing well, on a par with the comparable youth choruses of Europe, but they represent the healthy, joyful, tolerant spirit of their City of the Golden Gate, and thus the real democratic values of America. Their alert, focused, committed faces come in all shades of complexion; they include children whose great-great-great grandparents crossed America in covered wagons and also children who arrived in America with their immigrant parents from China, Ukraine, Latin America, the Middle East. None of them are losers, druggies, gangsters, couch potatoes. They are the children of the families that I know to be the core of San Francisco, of all economic classes but devoted to make a good life without destroying the planet. They are the hopeful Americans, not the fraudulent scare-babies from the bogeyman-city as portrayed by Bill O'Reilly and other panderers to right-wing fanaticism. Take a close look, America! Do your kids look any more clean-cut, serious, big-hearted than these?

This is a prize-winning CD, by the way, a performance of subtle and difficult music from the Italian Baroque, music associated with the Venetian homes for orphans of the 17th and early 18th Centuries. The girls sing it with both verve and delicacy.

Description of Music From The Venetian Ospedali

The recording is the first to feature adolescent female voices performing music sung by the young female orphans of the 18th century Venetian ospedali. The ospedali repertoire is considered to be the largest existing collection of music for female voices and is known for its great rhythmic vitality, vivid solo writing, and a clear tonal framework and musical form. In the 1300s, the ospedali began in Venice as homes for orphans and foundlings and later evolved into music conservatories for young girls. Ospedali choirs were the first to perform four-part music composed for girls voices and attracted top composers, including Vivaldi, who many scholars believe composed 'Gloria' specifically for female voices during his 30 years as concertmaster and violin teacher at the Ospedale della Pieta. The 65-minute recording features the 45-voice Chorissima, SFGC's large concert and touring ensemble; the 26-voice Ospedali Chorus, comprised of Virtuose, SFGC's small concert ! and touring ensemble, plus Chorus alumnae. The SFGC Sinfonia accompanies the choral ensembles and features some of the best early music players in the Bay Area.
One shudders at the number of good recordings of Vivaldi's Gloria available (such as the famous account, newly reissued, with Riccardo Muti), but this one is both superb and different. The entire disc is devoted to music composed for the homeless (or wayward) girls who lived at the Venetian Ospedali in the early 18th century and, in addition to a version of the Gloria in which women sing the bass and tenor lines an octave higher than composed, introduces us to very-little-known music by Giovanni Porta, Nicola Porpora, and Francesco Brusa. Once one adjusts to the lack of low voices, this CD surprises time and again with the quality and diversity of the lovely sounds actually made by the "girls" in this chorus. Clearly aware of the importance of various textures in polyphonic music, the chorus, under the leadership of Sharon Paul, pulls out all the stops: They whisper and caress; they exult at full voice. Tempi are nicely old-fashioned and slow in the Vivaldi, and all of the other music is worth hearing. This is a special CD, and an auspicious debut. Go for it. --Robert Levine
