To be cosmopolitan was all the rage in the eighteenth century. The Grand Tour, for instance, served as an educational rite of passage for young aristocrats. After completing their formal schooling, young men of means traveled the European continent, absorbing the cultural legacy of classical antiquity and the Renaissance, improving their language skills, and forging international connections. Promising musicians too sought to study abroad in major centers like Venice, Rome, and Paris. At the age of 21, Georg Friedrich Händel travelled to Italy at the invitation of members of the Medici family, where he worked with musicians like Arcangelo Corelli and became the darling of the high society circles surrounding cardinals Pietro Ottoboni, Benedetto Pamphili, and Carlo Colonna. Johann Sebastian Bach, orphaned at the age of 10 and descended from a family of church and civic musicians, lacked the financial resources for international travel, but actively collected and studied music by Girolamo Frescobaldi, Antonio Vivaldi, Nicolas de Grigny, and others, and sought to unite French and Italian influences in his music. The music on this evening’s programme celebrates musical diplomacy.

The surviving parts for Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 1 in C in love with the nymph Daphne. Apollo exerts all of his Major date from 1725, when they were probably copied for artistic charms in an attempt to win her, but she rebuffs him, the renowned Leipzig Collegium Musicum, a large student saying that she would rather die than lose her honour. Apollo ensemble that performed weekly concerts at Zimmermann’s becomes increasingly forceful and physical in his advances, coffeehouse and entertained visitors at the thrice-yearly trade but when he finally catches her, she is transformed into a fairs. The suite comprises a French overture and a selection of laurel tree. Apollo laments and adorns his head and his lyre popular dances of diverse international origin. According to with laurel wreaths. Leipzig-based dance master Gottfried Taubert, the courante This iconic story of unrequited love inspired generations of opened most balls in Germany. Bach’s contemporary, the artists and musicians, from the poet Petrarch, who named his German composer and lexicographer Johann Mattheson, unattainable love “Laura”, to the members of the Florentine describes it as a dance of “sweet hope and courage”. The Camerata, who chose to tell Dafne’s story in the first opera. had pastoral associations to which Bach alludes gavotte Most musical settings predating Handel’s cantata avoided the in Gavotte II with hunting horn calls played by the violas. challenge of setting the transformation scene. The Florentine The was a lively Slavonic folk dance that retained forlane Camerata, for instance, decided to have a messenger tell of its characteristic hops and jumps, when it was adopted as Dafne’s metamorphosis. Handel met the challenge with a a French court dance. One of the best loved social dances, striking adaptation of musical form. the menuet probably derived its name from “menu”, meaning small or slender, a reference to the dance’s excessively tiny Early eighteenth-century cantatas and operas were composed steps to be performed with perfectly unaffected grace. The of regularly alternating recitatives and arias. Handel begins bourée began life as a French folk dance. Adapted for the the chase scene in aria form, depicting the movements of ballroom, it became a fast duple meter dance that Mattheson Apollo and Dafne in the instrumental accompaniment. The described as “content and self-composed”. Bach scores solo violin runs in 16th notes, while the solo bassoon follows in the second bourée in this suite for woodwind trio alone, a 8th notes. Just as Apollo begins to catch up with Dafne (i.e. as characteristically French orchestration. The Orchestral Suite the bassoon begins to play 16th notes) Dafne is transformed, in C Major concludes with a pair of passepieds, fast minuets and the aria disintegrates into recitative. Apollo mourns her probably of English origin. loss with music that viscerally depicts his grief. He can hardly breath and his speech is broken. “Beloved plant [rest], with — ÷ — my tears [rest], I will water your leaves [rest]; with your Handel’s duet Tacete, ohimè, tacete dates from the very branches [rest] triumphant [rest], the greatest heroes [rest], beginning of his Italian travels, when he was still signing his the greatest heroes I will crown.” manuscripts with the German version of his name, “Händel”. The story of Apollo and Dafne traveled Europe with Handel. He soon opted to Italianize its spelling as “Hendel” and later to Setting it first in Hamburg as a double opera in German, he adopt the English version “Handel” by which he is commonly returned to the story in Italy, where he began to compose known today. Apollo might have been considerably happier, the dramatic cantata. After many drafts, he finally finished had he heeded the message of this duet’s text, “Love is the cantata for performance in Hanover, where he had sleeping… Let there be no unwelcome voice bothering his become chapel master at the electoral court. In 1710, he also sleep… It is only when Love sleeps that the world is at peace.” performed the cantata to great acclaim in London for the — ÷ — birthday celebrations of Queen Anne. Recent scholarship suggests that Handel was hired not as local music director in Handel’s dramatic cantata Apollo e Dafne tells a well-known Hanover, but as a propagandist for the Hanoverian succession story from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Apollo, who has recently to the English throne and as the Elector’s spy in London. Like freed Greece from the monster Python, boasts that that his Apollo, Handel pursued his quarry with artistic charm, but his archery is unparalleled, greater even than Cupid’s. To punish musical diplomacy triumphed when Elector Georg Ludwig his arrogance, Cupid shots him, causing him to fall hopelessly succeeded Queen Anne as King George I of England.

A God should follow Altro amore seguir ch’oggetti eterni: after no other love than for objects eternal; Perirà, finirà caduca polve the fleeting dust will perish, will end, Che grala a te mi rende, that makes me pleasing to you, Ma non già la virtù che mi difende. but not the virtue that protects me.

Aria Dafne Come in Ciel benigna stella As in gentle heaven the star Di Nettun placa il furor, of Neptune calms the storm, Tal in alma onesta e bella so in an honest and fair soul, La ragion frena t’amor. reason holds love in check.

– please turn page quietly earlymusic.bc.ca Early Music Vancouver Masterworks Series at the Chan 2015-16 | 11 Recitativo Apollo Odi la mia ragion! Hear my reason! Dafne Sorda son O? I am deaf! Apollo Orsa e tigre tu sei! A bear you are, a tigress! Dafne Tu non sei Dio! You are no God! Apollo Cedi all’amor, o proverai la forza. Yield to love, or you will feel my force. Dafne Nel sangue mio questa tua fiamma amorza. In my blood this ardour of yours will be quenched.

Duetto Apollo Deh, lascia addolcire quell’aspro rigor, Ah! Soften that harsh severity. Dafne Più tosto morire che perder l’onor. To die is better than to lose my honour. Apollo Deh, cessino l’ire, o dolce mio cor. Ah! Cease your anger, O beloved of my heart. Dafne Più tosto morire che perder l’onor. To die is better than to lose my honour.

Recitativo Apollo Sempre t’adorerò! Always will I adore you! Dafne Sempre t’aborrirò! Always will I abhor you! Apollo Tu non mi fuggirai! You shall not escape me! Dafne Si, che ti fuggirò’. Yes, I will escape you! Apollo Ti seguirò, correrò, I will follow you, run after you, Volerò sui passi tuoi: fly in your steps: Più veloce del sole esser non puoi. swifter that the sun you cannot be.

Aria Apollo Mie piante correte; Run, my feet; Mie braccia stringete hold tight, my arms, L’ingrata beltà. the ungrateful beauty. tocco, la cingo, I touch her, I hold her, La prendo, la stringo I take her, I hold her tight... Ma, qua novità? But what sudden change is this? Che vidi? Che mirai? What did I see? What behold? Cieli! Destino! che sarai mai! Heavens! Fate! Whatever is it!

Recitativo Apollo Dafne, dove sei tu? Che non ti trovo. Daphne, where are you? I cannot find you. Qual miracolo nuovo What new miracle Ti rapisce, ti cangia e ti nasconde? has taken you away, changed you and hidden you? Che non t’offenda mai del ‘verno il gelo May the cold of winter never harm you Ne il folgore dal cielo nor the thunder of heaven Tocchi la sacra e gloriosa fronde. touch your sacred and glorious foliage.

Aria Apollo Cara pianta, co’ miei pianti Dear laurel, with my tears lì tuo verde irrigherò; I shall water your green leaves; De’ tuoi rami trionfanti with your triumphant branches Sommi eroi coronerò. will I crown the greatest heroes. Se non posso averti in seno, If I cannot hold you in my bosom, Dafne, almeno Daphne, at least Sovra il crin ti porterò. on my brow will I wear you.
