About this product
This album features four major works for guitar from the age of Napoleon. Pascal Valois performs these works with exceptional presence and sensitivity. Pascal Valois is dedicated to reviving enthusiasm for the guitar scene during the Romantic era. He performs music from the nineteenth-century repertoire by using various period instruments, ornamentation, stylistic practices of the period, as well as improvisation, which was customary in that era. After graduating with honours at the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal under Jean Vallières, and receiving the award Pierre J. Jeanniot during his studies at Université du Québec à Montréal with Alvaro Pierri, Valois studied romantic guitar with Hopkinson Smith at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and with David Starobin in New York. He has also received a doctorate in Performance Practice from Université Laval. Recently, he has played in Basel, Paris, Riga, San Francisco, New York, Ottawa, and Toronto. He has been a soloist with many ensembles, among them Rigas's Ensemble Samsara and Montreal's Les Idées Heureuses. He has also given master-classes in many institutions, including the Manhattan School of music, the San Francisco Conservatory, and the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal. Album Tracks 1.

![Dettra / Schultz / Hill - Choral Evensong for Eastertide - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/43ec0bf0-3fec-473f-9bf7-a34ad6da800a.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
A resurgence of interest in Choral Evensong is being experienced in England and throughout the Anglican Communion. This musical liturgy was first formulated for the 1549 Book of Common Prayer, using elements of the monastic services of Vespers and Compline. The Choir of the Church of the Incarnation in Dallas sings this service using the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, a rarity in the United States. Included in this recording is Herbert Howells' last set of Evensong canticles (Magnificat, Nunc dimittis), which were commissioned by Larry Palmer for this choir. Scott Dettra, former organist of the Washington National Cathedral, is a brilliant choral director whose choirs have been featured on national radio broadcasts in the United States and the United Kingdom. He has prepared choirs for the National Symphony Orchestra, The Juilliard Orchestra, and the Dave Brubeck Quartet, among others. Album Tracks 1. Prelude from Dryden Liturgical Suite, Op. 144 2.
