Washington Cornett and Sackbutt Ensemble Details
The Washington Cornett and Sackbutt Ensemble is one of North America's premiere Renaissance and Baroque period instrument brass ensembles., performing extensively and in high demand in the Eastern U.S. with some of the more prominent historic vocal and instrumental groups in the American early music community. Its repertoire is vast, exploring nearly every possible style period and region where early brass sources were represented, including music from the Italian, German, Polish, Bohemian, Moravian, Scandinavian, Spainish, and English courts, as well as the Americas. In August 2003, they were invited to be the featured ensemble at the Historic Brass Society Festival at Yale University (New Haven, CT). WCSE was also 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 one of their recordings of a canzona by Claudio Merulo circulated widely to numerous North American universities in 2005 as part of the anthology for Craig Wright and Brian Simms's music history textbook Music in Western Civilization. WCSE performed at the 2015 Boston Early Music Festival, and more recently was the featured ensemble for the Washington Bach Consort's "Christmas with the Consort" in December 2016. WCSE has received much critical acclaim since its inception: "…delivered with serious attention to detail." - The Washington Post "…a beautiful display of virtuosity." - The Washington Post "…tantalizingly close to reproducing Venetian-baroque surround sound" - Richmond Times-Dispatch "A stylish and sonorous performance." - Richmond Times-Dispatch
