Dear collected wisdom I'm to play something like 20 minutes in a concert around the theme of Canldemas, aka Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It's the occasion 40 days after his birth Maria presented Jesus in the temple. Jesus is regared the light of the world, so it's the occasion of having your candles blessed in church. Simeon was the priest on duty and he blessed Jesus with a Nunc Dimittis. Simeon died afterwards, as was foretold to him by the Holy Spirit. So much for history. Now for music. Themes can be light, Simeon, Nunc Dimittis, whatever else you can think of. I'm open to suggestions of good lute pieces. Preferably, but necessarily confined to, 16th century polyphony. David PS: For those who wondered what I did for the Song of Songs concert, I intabulated four motets by Palestrina and six by Lechner. The latter was a very welcome tip from one of you. ******************************* David van Ooijen [1]davidvanooi...@gmail.com [2]www.davidvanooijen.nl *******************************
