The late Middle Ages was a high water mark of devotion to the Virgin Mary. The proliferation of liturgies, literature, iconography, and music for Mary spilled over to works in honor of her apocryphal mother, St. Anne. Schola Antiqua explores chant and polyphonic music for the legendary grandmother of Christ in this program of chant and rich polyphony, including works by Pierre de la Rue and Jean Mouton. Schola Antiqua’s concert series coincides with the release of Artistic Director Michael Alan Anderson’s book St. Anne in Renaissance Music: Devotion and Politics, published by Cambridge University Press in 2014.
