iuchair is an early music vocal ensemble based in Glasgow, brought together by a shared interest in medieval music, particularly that of seldom–performed repertories. We put particular emphasis on bringing performance of early music up to date with current academic thinking. Working from bespoke editions enables us to reconsider how the music can be best performed. Previous programmes include:
Pérotin: The Scottish Source
Passio, Lenten music by gentlemen of the Elizabethan Chapel Royal
To Your Rude Health! 17th Century Catches and Drinking Songs
Messe de Nostre Dame, Guillaume de Machaut paired with Francis Poulenc’s Quatre petites prières de saint François d'Assise
Missa Spiritus Almus, Petrus de Domarto
iuchair have recently recorded a full-length concert video of Passio, and our programmes of Pérotin and of 17th– and 18th–century catches and drinking songs are also available on CD. We are currently preparing a new programme centred on the evolution of the genre of the motet from the medieval period to the present day.
Programme
The programme will feature chant from the Sarum rite for the feast of St Anne (26 July). iuchair continues to put their own spin on the medieval with polyphony composed by Joshua Stutter to ornament the plainchant hymn for St Anne- Ave Mater Anna. The chant will be interspersed with polyphony ascribed to Perotin including Dum Sigillum.
