PROGRAM Monteverdi's Selva Morale e Spirituale Performed live by TENET on Saturday, December 30, 2017 at St. Joseph’s Church in Greenwich Village TENET JOLLE GREENLEAF | soprano MOLLY QUINN | soprano VIRGINIA WARNKEN KELSEY | mezzo-soprano JASON MCSTOOTS | tenor SUMNER THOMPSON | tenor JOHN TAYLOR WARD | bass AISSLINN NOSKY | violin BETH WENSTROM | violin KIRI TOLLAKSEN | cornetto ALEX OPSAHL | cornetto HANK HEIJINK | theorbo CHARLES WEAVER | guitar & theorbo JEFFREY GROSSMAN | harpsichord & organ Jolle Greenleaf | artistic director TRANSLATION Oh you blind ones, what does it do you to toil so? You will all return to our ancient Mother, And even your names will scarcely survive you! Even though the work of a thousand men seems useful, Is it not all plainly in vain? If anyone understands your studies, let him tell me. What is the purpose of conquering so many countries And receiving tribute from so many peoples When their minds are always intent on harming you? After perilous and vain endeavors And the acquisition of lands and treasures by bloodshed, It is sweeter to find bread and water, Glass and wood, than diadems and gold. Where are the riches now? Where are the honors? And those diadems, scepters and crowns? And those mitres with purple hues? Wretched is he who places his trust in mortal things. ___ Video production and editing: Erik Ryding Video assistant: Lura Berry Audio Engineer: Jake Cheriff Video copyright © 2018 TENET and Quill Classics
