| The Texas Early Music Project is tooting its own horn for the fourth time since 2003.The group, with help from St. Mary's Schola Cantorum, was awarded Best Choral Concert Performance by the Austin Critics Table for last September's Monteverdi 1610 Vespers. The judges, about a dozen critics from Texas newspapers, yearly nominate museums, painters, musicians, choral groups, and dancers for extraordinary achievement. |

TEMP's previous awards include best instrumentalist, best female and male singers, and just last year the group also won Best Choral Concert for its program 'Pathways to Bach.' With true Texas understatement, music director Daniel Johnson writes on the group's web site: 'Well, you could have knocked me over with a well-placed trill'. Apparently the potency of the trill didn't depend on whether it originated on the upper or the lower note. The web site to see is www.early-music.org.
