The Boston Camerata
The Maria Monologues

Described as “flawless” by the Boston Globe, the internationally acclaimed singer Anne Azéma of the Boston Camerata is joined by Lydia Bortherton and Deborah Rentz-Moore in this exploration of the “eternal female” in the Christian Middle Ages. Accompanied on vielle and harp by Robert Mealy, the three singers present songs and poems celebrating the Mary figures of the New Testament: Mary Magdalen, the repentant sinner and intimate of Christ, and Mary the Mother, source of divine grace and mercy. The program includes Marian Monologues from the 1420 Wolfenbüttel manuscript, a Provençal Marian play, the Miracles de Notre-Dame by Gautiers de Coincy (d. 1236), and the late thirteenth-ceintury Cantigas de Santa Maria of Alfonso X.
