Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king:Let the sea be moved and the fullness thereof: the world and they that dwell therein.The rivers shall clap their hands, the mountains shall rejoice togetherat the presence of the Lord: because he cometh to judge the earth.He shall judge the world with justice,and the people with equity.About the group:Fast becoming the premiere ensemble of its kind in North America, the Washington Cornett and Sackbutt Ensemble, directed by Michael Holmes, consists of early brass specialists from the Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and New York City areas. The WCSE's membership has modified and grown considerably since its inception in 1997. It has performed extensively and has been in high demand all along the east coast USA, collaborating in adventuresome programs with prominent period ensembles such as Lumen Valo (Finland), New Trinity Baroque (Atlanta), Sacra Fuma (Princeton), the Orchestra of the 17th Century (D.C.), the Washington Bach Consort (D.C.), Carmina (D.C.), Cantate Chamber Singers (D.C.), the Washington Kantorei (D.C.), and Zephyrus (Charlottesville). Its repertoire has been vast, exploring almost every possible style and region, including music from Germany, Italy, Poland, Bohemia, Moravia, Scandinavia, Spain, England and the New World. In the summer of 2001, WCSE produced its first recording of music by Gabrieli and Schütz. In August 2003, WCSE was invited to be the featured ensemble at the Historic Brass Society Festival at Yale University (New Haven, CT), and were invited to return for the next annual festival concurrent with the Baroque Performance Institute at Oberlin College. WCSE was featured in the 2004 CD recording "Mass in Honor of the Immaculate Conception" in music by Monteverdi, Gabrieli, Frescobaldi, Marenzio, and Ugolini, in collaboration with the choir of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington D.C. Another WCSE recording of a canzona by Claudio Merulo circulated to numerous North American universities in 2005 as part of the anthology for Craig Wright and Brian Simms's new music history textbook "Music in Western Civilization."Contact: holmesms@msn.comURLs: http://youtube.com/group/wcse http://www.myspace.com/wcse
