Jouyssance, a Los Angeles-based chamber choir specializing in early music, will present our Twelfth Night concert of Spanish and Aztec music from the Renaissance Mexico, this Saturday and Sunday.

The concert features works by Spanish and New World composers such as Fernandes, Padilla, Guerrero, Morales, and Victoria, framed by storytelling based on the sixteenth-century friar Bernardino de Sahagun’s historic adaptation of the Nativity tale for the Aztecs.  The music includes polyphony and chant in Spanish, Nahuatl, Latin, and Galician.
