Two of the works, concerti grossi by Handel WORKS OF CHARLES IGNATIUS SANCHO and Geminiani, are indebted to music by . Geminiani’s grosso after Corelli op. 5, no. 5, as the title acknowledges, uses a solo April 18 + 20, 2021 Streamed Online sonata by his teacher as the basis for his work. Movements from Handel’s Concerto in C minor, op. 6, no. 8 pay homage to Corelli as well even as they Cary Hall (Lexington, MA) 2,530th Concert rework music from Handel’s own earlier compositions. The Concerto armonico No. 2 by the Dutch composer Count Unico Wilhelm van Wassenaer, was PERFORMERS adapted in the early 20th century by Igor Stravinsky for his ballet Pulcinella which marked the beginning of what is commonly called that composer’s Emily Marvosh, host neoclassical period. Jonathan Woody’s Suite for String Orchestra was inspired Aisslinn Nosky, director by the music of Charles Ignatius Sancho who, born into slavery in 1729, became H+H Orchestra a merchant and composer in . In some instances, why a composer chose to reference music composed earlier—whether their own or that of another composer—might never be known with certainty. Still, whether homage or PROGRAM inspiration, the act itself establishes a connection with the past that enriches the present.

Corelli’s music was reprinted more often than any other composer of from Concerto Grosso in C Minor, Op. 6, No. 8 Allemande (1685-1759) his day: his opus 1 and opus 5 were reissued some 81 times in the 18th century, Adagio not including the numerous arrangements of his music for other instruments. Allegro In 1714, Geminiani moved to England, where his reputation as a student of Corelli Suite for String Orchestra after the Jonathan Woody was soon superseded by the merits of his own compositions. A member of works of Charles Ignatius Sancho (b. 1983) several musical societies, Geminiani’s importance to cultural life in London was Ouverture: Grave acknowledged when the Philo-Musicae et Architecturae Societas organized the Allemande: Andante moderato publication of his concertos based on Corelli’s Sonatas for Violin, op. 5. Courante: Adagietto Dedicated to the king and subscribed to by nobility, the first six concertos Sarabande: Andante published in 1726 were a commercial success. More importantly, they are an Gigue: Allegretto homage from a student to his teacher. In the Concerto grosso in G minor, after Corelli op. 5, no. 5, Geminiani deftly interprets Corelli’s original sonata for solo These performances mark the world premiere of the piece. violin, highlighting his teacher’s own compositional subtleties. In the first Jonathan Woody’s Suite for String Orchestra after the works of Charles movement, Adagio, Geminiani divides the original solo violin line between first Ignatius Sancho was commissioned by the Handel and Haydn Society with support from Jim and Cathy Stone. and second , exposing the contrapuntal possibilities inherent in Corelli’s melody. Not all of the movements are elaborations, however. In the final Concerto armonico No. 2 in B-flat Major Unico Wilhelm van Wassenaer movement, Allegro/Gigue, Geminiani is content to leave his model virtually Largo andante (1692-1766) untouched. Da Capella. Presto Largo affetuoso from Concerto Grosso in C Minor, Op. 6, No. 8 Allegro moderato. Meno forte George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)

This program is made possible in part by the Corelli’s legacy endured long after his death in 1713; there were some 17 editions generous support of Deborah and Robert First. of his music published between 1714 and 1790. His reputation spread throughout Europe; his music was imitated directly or used as source material by his Aisslinn Nosky, director, is sponsored contemporaries and successors. In England, Corelli’s opus 6 concertos remained in part by John J. Winkleman Jr. popular—sometimes even more popular than Handel’s—well into the 19th century.

2 2020-21 STREAMING CONCERTS HANDELANDHAYDN.ORG 3 Handel composed his set of Twelve Grand Concertos between September 29 and October 30, 1739. He published them as his opus 6 concertos, connecting his set with Corelli’s opus 6. Although other concertos in the set reference the music of other composers, in the Concerto grosso in C Minor, op. 6, no. 8, Handel borrows material from his own earlier works. The first movement is an Allemande, the standard opening movement in a dance suite. For the opening of this movement Handel references his 1739 Suite in G Minor, HWV452, which may have been inspired by another keyboard piece by Johannes Mattheson. The fourth movement of the concerto, Adagio, recalls the opening gestures of Cleopatra’s aria “Piangerò la sorte mia” from Giulio Cesare (1724). In both of these movements, Handel explores the musical possibilities that each of these openings suggest. In the final Allegro, structural clarity offsets the continually changing instrument pairings, creating an internal tension between motion and stability.

A note from Jonathan Woody appears on pages 6-7.

Concerto armonico No. 2 in B-flat Major Count Unico Wilhelm van Wassenaer (1692-1766)

Count Wassenaer studied at the University of Leiden before making a Grand Tour of Europe between 1714 and 1718. He made two trips to as an ambassador extraordinary of the General States in the 1740s. His music was played at the court of Louis XV and the French praised him as a “great composer,” and compared his music to that of Corelli. In The Hague, Wassenaer spent time composing and organizing private concerts in his home and that of his friend and fellow musician Count Willem Bentinck.

Written between 1725 and 1740, Wassenaer’s Concerto armonico No. 2 in B-flat Major was composed for these concerts, which featured the violinist Carlo Ricciotti, also known as Bacciccia. Ricciotti funded the publication of Wassenaer’s six Concerti armonici a quattro violini obligati, alto , violoncello MOZART obligato e basso continuo in 1740. There was no composer attribution, but there was a dedication to Count Bentinck that said they were composed by an “illustrious hand which your Excellency esteems and honours, and to which I am A LITTLE bound out of respect.” When the concertos were published in London, Ricciotti was incorrectly named as the composer. A score from the 19th century names Handel as the composer; this attribution was covered over with a label on which NIGHT MUSIC Italian composer Giovanni Battista Pergolesi’s name was written. Another score —from the 20th century and possibly a copy of the 19th century one — also gives Pergolesi as the composer. It was under this last misattribution that the 20th May 2 + 4, 2021 century Russian composer Igor Stravinsky encountered this music, adapting it for his 1920 ballet Pulcinella, which, in turn, inspired instrumental suites. In 1980, Don’t miss this celebration of all things Mozart, Dutch musicologist Alfred Dunning found a score of the concertos at Twickel including the effervescent Eine kleine Nachtmusik. Castle near Delden, Netherlands, one of the homes of Wassenaer’s prestigious and influential family. A note had been written by Wassenaer explaining that he You’ll understand its acclaim when you hear the did not want the works published nor to have his name on the publication, but his H+H Orchestra perform this jewel on the period friends prevailed. instruments for which Mozart composed.

4 2020-21 STREAMING CONCERTS 5HANDELANDHAYDN.ORG 2020-21 STREAMING CONCERTS5 A NOTE FROM THE COMPOSER JONATHAN WOODY Can you walk us through the creative process for this project? I spent a lot of time listening to Sancho’s songs, minuets, and dances, and I spent more time listening to examples of dance forms from the What did you find particularly Baroque and Classical periods. I selected a few of Sancho’s melodies interesting or impactful when that I thought were particularly interesting, then it was a matter of researching Charles Ignatius Sancho? envisioning how the Sancho melody might get extrapolated into one It was particularly poignant to me that he of those dance forms. I also had to think about keys and how they was the first Black Briton to have voting would relate to one another from one movement to the next, and I paid rights in a parliamentary election. The attention to how each orchestral section: violin, viola, , and bass, power of a voice, whether musical or got shown off in the other Baroque works. I tried to write something political, is deep, and something that that would be fun to play for each section even as it sounded good and reflects the humanity of all people, stayed true to the character of Sancho’s music. including and especially when those people are marginalized or “othered.” I’m How did you settle on the themes for the piece? inspired by Sancho’s refusal to silence his I did so rather organically, choosing the source melodies from Sancho’s own voice, and also by the pragmatism admittedly limited surviving works that sounded the most tuneful and and practicality with which he went about had a bit of character to them. I chose the format of the suite because his life; after all, the search for equality it’s a form that I have always loved in pre-1800s music, as it provides isn’t always about heroes who fight at once a familiar constraint (the particular dance rhythm) and yet defining struggles against power. Sometimes it’s the small heroism of seemingly limitless creativity in how that parameter can be explored simply insisting on one’s own value and having the courage to live a and realized. complete life. That Sancho did so, and that we have the historical record of it, is inspiring and humbling for me.

What was it like to create this music? I was very excited about this project because I love the orchestral music of the mid-18th century and I was thrilled to make my own attempt at the genre. It was a little intimidating, as the players of H+H are very familiar with the masters of the era, and I wanted to do the works of Charles Ignatius Sancho justice in fleshing them out into something enjoyable for everyone to play. But it was also a challenge that was fun to sink my teeth into, and I think it pushed my creative skills a little bit toward the next level.

How would you describe the piece? It’s a suite, an orchestral work based on European dance forms that by Sancho’s time had been set to music for about 200-300 years, and which was actually starting to fall out of favor while he lived. It has five movements: Ouverture, Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, and Gigue, each of which have an “A” section and “B” section which both repeat. The whole thing is about 10 minutes long. It features the whole orchestra, and each movement is a sort of morsel in a different mood, with a melody inspired by various smaller works by Sancho.
