November 24 2003

Featured today are a polychoral mass from Victoria from his little heard and underappreciated 1600 collection, the remaining sonade from Couperin's Les Nations (all now will have been heard on this program), and the Ballo delle Ingrate from Monteverdi's book VIII madrigals, famously encouraging the women of its day to yield to their pursuers. This DJ wishes to congratulate his beloved California Golden Bears for their victory over hated Stanford in the Big Game on Saturday. The Axe stays in Berkeley where it belongs!
