ProMusica Arizona presents Misa Azteca

Posted

Misa Azteca is a staged, concert piece for orchestra, choir, soloists and pre-Columbian percussion ensemble. It is based on the "ordinary" and “proper” of the Roman Catholic High Mass and verses from the Cantares Mexicanos, a collection of pre and post conquest verse of the Mexica (the Aztecs). Misa Azteca is sung in Latin, Spanish and Nahuatl. Misa Azteca hybridizes two cultures and religions into an eight-movement, oratorio-style, musical celebration for orchestra, choir and soloists.
