Acclaimed as one of the finest films ever made, Carl Theodor Dreyer’s silent 1928 film “La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc” chronicles the trial of Joan of Arc in the hours leading up to her execution. Actress Renée Falconetti’s haunting face channels the agony and ecstasy of martyrdom in a legendary performance that remains a landmark in the history of cinema. One of Britain’s most celebrated early music vocal ensembles, the Orlando Consort accompanies the film live with a deeply moving a cappella soundtrack featuring an extensive repertoire of music composed or performed during the lifetime of Jeanne d’Arc by Dufay, Binchois and their contemporaries. The UK’s The Guardian calls Voices Appeared “an exceptional achievement that reminds us just how potent the combination of silent film and live music can be.”

Formed in 1988 by the Early Music Network of Great Britain, the Orlando Consort rapidly achieved a reputation as one of Europe’s most expert and consistently challenging groups performing repertoire from the years 1050 to 1550. The Consort’s performances also embrace the spheres of contemporary music and improvisation: to date they have performed more than 30 world premieres and numerous collaborations.

J.S. Bach, known as the great master, wrote more than 200 cantatas, and UMD Choral Activities aims to sing them all in this series of short performances led by conductors in the graduate program. Conducted by Matthew Goinz, this performance will feature Alles nur nach Gottes Willen (Everything according to God's will alone), BWV 72.

Written for the third Sunday after Epiphany, Alles nur nach Gottes Willen, BWV 72, was first performed on Sunday, January 27, 1726. This particular cantata was written early in Bach’s tenure at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig, and is structured in six movements—a fiery opening chorus, recitative and aria for alto, recitative for bass, aria for soprano and, of course, the obligatory closing chorale. The text, written by Salomon Franck—a frequent collaborator of Bach—celebrates God's plan for the faithful. It urges Christians to trust in Jesus Christ, as is tradition when observing Epiphany, the feast which commemorates, among other things, the visit of the Three Magi to Christ.
