Mission Road (w/DVD)

Music on this CD/DVD package delves into the musical frontiers heard in California missions and Mexican cathedrals 200 years ago. One third of the repertoire deals with processional pieces: parades and pageantry. Another third is devoted to the Misa en sol, and the remaining third explores the fabulous music of America's Handel, the Mexican born Manuel de Sumaya. The 34 minute bonus DVD takes you behind the scenes fo these Mission era inspired performances with concert footage, interviews, and mission landscapes.
