I will probably manage to attend the next California Bach Society concert, through some careful time management - their concerts are the same weekend as the Carterfest. The program, called Venetian Christmas, is perfectly lovely and sounds as though it will be nicely balanced between grandeur and intimacy:
Claudio Monteverdi: Magnificat for four voices and continuo, from Selva Morale e Spirituale (1640), Magnificat for eight voices, violins, sackbuts, and continuo,from Selva Morale e Spirituale (1640)
Giovanni Bassano: Quem vidistis pastores?, Hodie Christus Natus Est a 10
Giovanni Croce: Quaeremus cum Pastoribus
Giovanni Gabrieli: Angelus ad pastores ait, Hodie Christus natus est, Quem vidistis pastores?,
O magnum Mysterium
Adrian Willaert: O beata Infantia/O felices Panni (motet in 2 parts), O Magnum Mysterium
Alessandro Grandi: Hodie, nobis de caelo pax vera descendit
Gregor Aichinger Noe, noe, psallite

I like the way you list the repertoire. It looks like the dialogue among a bunch of guys talking to each other in Latin.
Haha, yes!
