Baroque Transitions Saturday,
October 18, 8 p.m. Sunday,
October 19, 7:30 p.m. The musicians, theorists and critics of the early Baroque rejected much
that was past, indulging in wild experiments in text expression, harmony
and texture.
Hear excerpts of the landmark Florentine wedding celebration of 1589,
Carissimi’s sumptuous Jephte, Cavalieri’s Rappresentazione di anima e di
corpo, and daringly innovative madrigals and motets by Monteverdi,
Caccini, d’India, Viadana, Gabrieli, and Grandi.
Saturday,
January 3, 8 p.m. Sunday,
January 4, 7:30 p.m. Over the past 10 years, Jouyssance’s Twelfth Night concerts explored Europe, the New World, the Far East and Africa. This year, we come home. Come share favorite seasonal early music, including excerpts from our new CD, A Tour of Christmases Past.
Saturday,
June 6, 8 p.m. Sunday,
June 7, 7:30 p.m. The early 15th century saw new sonorities as the jagged rhythms and harmonies of the Ars Nova and Trecento yielded to the smooth sounds of Franco-Flemish Polyphony. This transition was centered in England and at the opulent court of Burgundy. Enjoy simply gorgeous music by Dunstable, Dufay, their contemporaries, and excerpts from the Old Hall Manuscript. |
