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

working tools and virtues both of a good

storyteller and a good melodyteller. But,

unlike the first one, music does not

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

PETIT CONCERT DE CHAMBRE

Couperin, Hotteterre & Marais

————————————

A friend once said, that if one would

have to attribute a color to French

baroque music – it would be a dark

red: at a time delicate and strong,

elegant, clearly distinguishable from

other baroque styles for its

characteristic ornamentation, its rich

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.
