About Musica Donum Dei

“...every nuance of the players’ collaboration can be observed as they watch each other’s every move and listen to every phrase as if participants in the most intimate conversation.”

(Nottingham Evening Post, 29 June 2005)y,
Right: MDD at Holme Pierrepont Hall, Nottingham, December 2006sica Donum Dei is based in Nottinghamshire, but performs throughout the Midlands and over an increasingly wide area beyond.





We perform music from Monteverdi to Mozart, and are known for our
unusual and accessible programmes. We often use readings,
dramatisations and visual images alongside the music to evoke the spirit of the age in lively and imaginative ways.


Members of the ensemble are involved in historical research to revive neglected works, and we are also active in commissioning new ones; we held our first composers’ competition in Spring 2006.






We can offer:

  • A chamber ensemble of five or six performers


  • A trio (flute/recorder or violin, cello or viola da gamba and harpsichord)


  • A full-sized baroque or classical orchestra to join your choir in works such as the Monteverdi Vespers, Bach St Matthew Passion or Mozart Requiem. For more details on MDD’s work with choirs click here
