The MCE created a unique and compelling program in March 2012, contrasting and combining the musical worlds of Salzburg and New York City in 1780. Contemporary hymns, works by Billings (the father of American choral singing), Belcher, and Morgan, and Mozart’s dramatic setting of the five psalms of the Catholic Vespers service were presented together. Additionally, the MCE commissioned New York City composer Trevor Weston to create a unique new work premiered at the performance.
