In Mulieribus – the Latin phrase meaning “amongst women” – is a female
vocal ensemble dedicated to the promotion and enrichment of community
through the art of music with a focus on works written primarily before
1750. It accomplishes this mission through lively, historically
informed, professional performances; through sound recording projects;
and through donations made to local not-for-profit organizations that
support women in need. In Mulieribus is a pending 501(c)(3)
organization.
Selections from the recording of the December 2006 concert by In
Mulieribus aired in January 2008 on American Public Media’s Performance
Today with Fred Child. In Mulieribus’ CD, Notre-Dame de Grace, released
in October 2007, was picked as one of four classical music CDs in The
Oregonian’s 2007 Wired Gift Guide. “Stark, enchanting beauty. . . the
singing is rhythmically vital, often exuberant, and the sound pure and
graceful.” David Stabler, The Oregonian.
Portland – Vocal ensemble In Mulieribus will present “Fins Amour,” a concert of Medieval songs of courtly love. Celebrated in the lyric poems of the trouveres and troubadours, courtly love-- the devotion and dedication of a knight to a lady-- emerged in the context of life in the castles and courts of 11th century France. This final concert of the season explores the drama of courtly love in all its passion, jealousy, heartbreak, torment, desire, and delight, through enchanting songs by Machaut, Dufay, Landini, and Monteverdi. In accordance with the mission statement of In Mulieribus, a portion of the concert proceeds will be donated to the YWCA of Portland. Tickets for “Fins Amours” are $15 for adults and $12 for students and seniors, and are available at the door, online through brownpapertickets.com, or by mail.
