December 5, 2006 Jesuit Bolivian Music: Spanish Devotional Music from the Old and New World Performed by the USC Collegium LOCATION: Fisher Gallery, USC, 7:30 PM In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Jesuit priests from Spain trained Bolivians to sing in mission settlements. They wrote words and music that purposefully blended the height of Spanish text and musical style with haunting and vibrant indigenous elements. The music represents the best meeting of Old and New World hearts and minds. And at the heart of this tradition lay the Christmas story, with the universal appeal of a sleeping baby child and angels singing and romping through the heavens. Don’t miss this concert for voices and instruments, with rarely heard works by Juan Araujo, Manuel Mesa y Carrizo & Sebastian Duron.
