5 THE GALILEO PROJECT: Music of the Spheres

The Galileo Project: Music of the Spheres was created as Tafelmusik’s contribution to having been to hear Handel play a concert, he complained that there was nothing to the United Nations International Year of Astronomy, marking 2009 as the 400th anniversary admire except the elasticity of his fingers. of Galileo’s first use of the telescope. Inspired by Canadian astronomer (and Tafelmusik audience member) Dr. John Percy, The Galileo Project uses music, words and images to explore the artistic, cultural and scientific world in which 17th- and 18th-century astronomers Handel made more of a sensation when he travelled from his adopted country of England lived and did their work. to his homeland of in order to play at a glittering royal wedding celebration in Dresden in September of 1719. It was a month-long “Festival of the Planets,” with numerous Ancient civilizations depended on an awareness of the natural world for their livelihood and , balls, outdoor events and special concerts in honour of each of the known planets: survival, and enjoyed an intimate relationship with the daily, monthly and yearly patterns of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. the night sky. The Greeks and Romans identified characters in their mythological stories with planets and stars, and gave them names which we still use today. In Ovid’s story of There are detailed archives of the musical events at this festival and we know that not only Phaeton, the impetuous son of the sun-god , the minutes, hours, days and seasons Handel but also Georg Phillip Telemann, who was living in Frankfurt at the time, joined the are personified as denizens of the palace of the sun. renowned Dresden orchestra of Augustus the Strong, the employer of Jan Dismas Zelenka and Silvius Leopold Weiss, Europe’s most famous lutenist. Music by these four composers At Versailles, the French “Sun King,” Louis XIV, created his own palace of the sun, a has been chosen to reflect the virtuosity of the Dresden musicians at this event, and we building which strongly reflected the cosmology of the ancient world in its statuary and are particularly grateful to Lucas Harris for his reconstruction of the lost orchestral parts decoration. Jean-Baptiste Lully, the resident composer at Versailles, wrote some of his for the Allegro from Weiss’s Lute Concerto in C major. most magnificent music for his Phaeton, a product of the cultural inheritance which the world of received from the observations of ancient stargazers. The concert begins and ends with reflections on the ancient concept of the “Music of the Spheres,” thought to have been created by a heavenly ensemble of planets and stars Claudio Monteverdi’s Orfeo was composed in 1607 and published in in 1609, the making music together as they move through space. Lorenzo’s speech from The Merchant year that Galileo travelled from Padua to Venice to offer his newly created telescope of Venice contains a beautiful expression of this idea: “There’s not the smallest orb as a gift to the Venetian Doge. Monteverdi and Galileo were exact contemporaries and which thou behold’st but in his motion like an angel sings, still quiring to the young-eyed near the end of their lives when Galileo arranged for Monteverdi to procure a beautiful cherubins.” Cremonese violin (probably built by Nicolo Amati) for his nephew Alberto Galilei, the son of Galileo’s brother Michelangelo, who composed the lute solo in our programme. The subject was treated extensively in Harmonices Mundi (The Harmony of the Worlds, Monteverdi, Tarquinio Merula and Biagio Marini were the most important composers in 1619) by Johannes Kepler, who used the formulas from his laws of planetary motion to Galileo’s world, and their works form a backdrop to his own account of his discovery of the derive musical intervals and short melodies associated with each planet. We perform moons of Jupiter and the events which followed. these short tunes on their own, and then weave them into Bach’s tune Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern (How brightly shines the morning star). This is followed by music Sir Isaac Newton was born in the year of Galileo’s death in 1642, and was buried in 1727 adapted from opening sinfonias of Bach’s of the same name (BWV 1) and from in Westminster Abbey near the tomb of Henry Purcell. This period saw the establishment Cantata BWV 29. These works by J.S. Bach speak profoundly and eloquently of what lies of a Royal Observatory in Greenwich, Newton’s creation of the reflecting telescope, his at the heart of the United Nations International Year of Astronomy – a celebration of the discoveries about the properties of refracted light, and his development of the principles wonders of the cosmos and the achievements of the human spirit. of universal gravitation. – Alison Mackay

Newton used the musical analogy of a seven-note scale in explaining the seven colours of the rainbow, but unlike Galileo, he does not appear to have been a music lover. After
