The
Madrigal Festival is an annual event at Rutgers-Camden,
which brings selected
groups of students from area high schools together to perform Madrigal
music and dance. Madrigals, complex
polyphonic vocal pieces of the 16th and 17th centuries, have become quite
popular in the our region, explains Dr.
Julianne Baird, who organized the first regional Madrigal Festival in
Fall 1999 to place the resources of Rutgers University at the disposal
of area high school Madrigal Groups.
This
year's Madrigal Groups came from four South Jersey high schools, Moorestown,
Haddonfield, Cherry Hill East and West Windsor-Plainsboro
North. The young singers, chosen from among larger choruses at their
schools, bring particular dedication to the music, which usually is more
challenging to learn and sing than conventional choir pieces.
One of the highlights of each year's Madrigal Festival
is a performance by Julianne Baird. This year's recital
was titled
Crazy for Love and Music, featuring Julianne Baird, Karen Flint, Ed Mauger and Jessica Peyton.
