What better way to enjoy the holidays than with Ars Lyrica Houston, the celebrated ensemble from Texas, directed by Matthew Dirst and featuring the singers Camille Ortiz and Cecilia Duarte. The festive, toe-tapping Crossing Borders contains western-hemisphere music that shows the rich flowering of Hispanic culture during the 16th through 18th centuries. The vocalists and instrumentalists perform villancicos, romances, and a wealth of other compositions by Roque Ceruti, José Duran, Antonio de Salazar, Manuel Joseph Duron, and others.

Manuel José Quiroz (d 1765), Jesús, Jesús (excerpt)

Crossing Borders explores a crucial moment in the musical history of the New World: when European musical traditions began to mingle with indigenous musical practices.
This festive program for the holiday season includes villancicos and romances for voices and ensemble plus instrumental works drawn from the rich repertoire of 17th- and 18th-century colonial and Latin American cultures. Musical selections by Roque Ceruti, José Duran, Antonio de Salazar, Manuel Joseph Quiroz, Sebastián Duron and others illustrate the multiple and creative ways music traverses cultural and national borders.
