ELOQUENCE WITHOUT WORDS
Facettes of european baroque music 1610-1750
Palestrina & Rognoni | Locke | Cima | Fontana | Hotteterre | Bach

Articulation, affetti, silence, rhythm,
emotion and reflection are some of the

always need words, for ‘music does not
express this or that particular and definite
pleasure, this or that affliction, pain sorrow,
horror, gaiety, merriment or peace of mind,
but joy, pain, sorrow, horror, gaiety,
merriment, peace of mind themselves, to a
certain extent in the abstract, their essential
nature, without any accessories, and so also
without the motives for them’ –A. Schopenhauer

harmonies, melodic basslines, its
special way of developing melody…
In this program we present three
composer who have left a wide
testimony of their real mastery in the
music of their time.
