O’Shea completes work for Chamber Singers

Dr. Patrick O'Shea (music) has just completed two new musical settings of sonnets by Petrarch in Italian for the Saint Mary’s Chamber Singers, “Pace non trovo” (Canzone CXXXIV) and “Benedetto sia ’lgiorno” (Canzone LXI). The works will be premiered, appropriately, in Provence, France, where Petrarch spent a considerable portion of his life.
