Juilliard 415 & Yale Schola Cantorum

Schola Cantorum and Juilliard415, conducted by Masaaki Suzuki, will perform Handel’s L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato. Composed in 1740, this pastoral ode is based upon the poetry of John Milton. Milton’s two poems, L’Allegro and il Moderato were arranged by James Harris (1709-1780), interweaving them to create dramatic tension between the personified characters.
