FREE ADMISSION Dear friends, Last fall, Third Coast Baroque’s debut series ¡Sarabanda! focused on examining the African and Latin American folk music roots of the sarabande. Today, we will be following the paths of the chaconne, passacaglia and other ostinato rhythms – with origins similar to the sarabande – as they spread across Europe during the 17th century. With this program that we are calling Groove!, we present those intoxicating rhythms in the fashion and flavor of the different countries where they gained popularity. The great European composers wrote masterpieces using the rhythms of these ancient dances to create immortal pieces of art, but their weight and significance is such that we tend to forget where their origins lie. Bach, Couperin, and Purcell – to name only a few – wrote music for highly sophisticated institutions. Still, through these dance rhythms, they were searching for something similar to what the more ancient civilizations had been striving to attain: a connection to the spiritual world.

    SALZBURGER FESTSPIELE PFINGSTEN Künstlerische Leitung: Cecilia Bartoli La couleur du temps – The Colour of Time Pauline Viardot-Garcia (1821 – 1910) Photo: Uli Weber - Decca Salzburg Whitsun Festival 29 May – 1 June 2020 (SF, 30 December 2019) The life of Pauline Viardot-Garcia – singer, musical ambassador of Europe, outstanding pianist and composer – is the focus of the 2020 programme of the Salzburg Whitsun Festival. “The uncanny instinct Cecilia Bartoli has for the themes of our times is proven once again by her programme for the 2020 Salzburg Whitsun Festival, which focuses on Pauline Viardot. Orlando Figes has just written a bestseller about this woman. Using Viardot as an example, he describes the importance of art within the idea of Europe,” says Festival President Helga Rabl-Stadler. 1 SALZBURGER FESTSPIELE PFINGSTEN Künstlerische Leitung: Cecilia Bartoli Pauline Viardot not only made a name for herself as a singer, composer and pianist, but her happy marriage with the French theatre manager, author and art critic Louis Viardot furthered her career and enabled her to act as a great patron of the arts. Thus, she made unique efforts to save the autograph of Mozart’s Don Giovanni for posterity. Don Giovanni was among the manuscripts Constanze Mozart had sold to Johann Anton André in Offenbach in 1799. After his death in 1842, his daughter inherited the autograph and offered it to libraries in Vienna, Berlin and London – without success. In 1855 her cousin, the pianist Ernst Pauer, took out an advertisement in the London-based journal Musical World. Thereupon, Pauline Viardot-García bought the manuscript for 180 pounds.

    Commuw.it~ ~~mphow.~ Orr.ckslta JOHN H. BEST, CONDUCTOR • 'I SOLOIST ADELAIDE ANilERSON WAYNE, pianist Mountain Home Air Force Base April 20 9 196o :S~ise Junior College Auditorium April 229 1960 PROGRAM NOTES The opera "11 Signor Bruschino" is a farcical one-act work composed in revenge for an ugly joke played upon Rossini by the manager of the San Moise theater in Venice. Having a grudge against Rossini, the manager compelled him to fuliill an earlier agree­ ment for an opera, but supplied him with an impossible libretto. Treating the libretto seriously would have been disastrous, but the ready-witted Rossini turned the situation to his advantage by burlesquing the musical treatment. Introduced into the score are all sorts of outrageous pranks, the obvious one in the overture being the times when the second violin players are asked to strike their desks with the bow. This bagatelle of an overture is certainly not heard as frequently as the "Barber of Seville" or "William Tell" but in Romatic opera it stands as a miracle of conciseness. Anton Dvorak (1841-1904) began his life in poverty and obscurity, as the son of a butcher, and ended it in affluence and fame as one of the most celebrated composers of his day. The transition was of his own working, and was accomplished against formidable odds. Brahms had a hand in it, but it is not quite true that he 'discovered' Dvorak, who already was the recipient of a pension from the Ministry of Culture in Vienna. The Third Symphony is another example of a little-known work by a well­ known composer, yet it reveals a folkish type of freshness that is not always present in the much-performed "New World" Symphony.

  • Il Signor Bruschino, Sinfonia
    Elita Maule, UN SIGNORE GABBATO. Giacchino Rossini, Il Signor Bruschino, Sinfonia Qualche idea didattica per prepararsi ai concerti. UN SIGNORE GABBATO Gioacchino Rossini, Il Signor Bruschino, Sinfonia Per la scuola primaria Elita Maule 1 Elita Maule, UN SIGNORE GABBATO. Giacchino Rossini, Il Signor Bruschino, Sinfonia INTRODUZIONE Il Signor Bruschino o Il figlio per azzardo è una divertente farsa in musica composta da Rossini nel 1813 all’età di 21 anni. Ricca di intrighi e di scherzi perpetrati da Florville, giovane innamorato e ricambiato che intende a tutti i costi sposare la sua Sofia contro la volontà del tutore, la trama si presenta brillante e divertente, ben sottolineata dalla musica della Sinfonia d’apertura che ne accoglie tutte le caratteristiche risultando vivace e piena di brio. Per tale motivo, e anche per la limitata durata del brano (4’ circa) che ne rende possibile un’analisi in classe attraverso un ascolto ripetuto più volte, questa sinfonia di Rossini si rivela adatta anche a lavorare con i bambini della scuola primaria; qui noi ci rivolgeremo in particolare agli alunni delle classi terza- quinta. Gli obiettivi perseguibili con il progetto qui esposto interessano i due fronti della fruizione e della produzione musicale e sonora, nella convinzione che il fare musica è il mezzo più efficace per penetrare le 2 Elita Maule, UN SIGNORE GABBATO.

  • 2016 – 2017 Season Marks Les Talens Lyriques' 25Th Anniversary
    2016 – 2017 season marks Les Talens Lyriques’ 25th anniversary Operas by Purcell, Cavalli, Charpentier, Salieri, Mozart, Handel & Monteverdi Culminating in his debut at London’s Royal Opera House for Mozart’s Mitridate in June next year, Christophe Rousset embarks on a rich season of opera with Les Talens Lyriques - from Purcell, Cavalli, Handel, Monteverdi and Mozart to forgotten masterpieces by Charpentier, Salieri and Pergolesi, to mark their 25th anniversary. From Israel to Italy, Spain to Lithuania, Rousset’s infectious enthusiasm for the baroque is in high demand. With Les Talens Lyriques at the Theater an der Wien, Rousset presents the modern premiere of Salieri’s Les Horaces in concert in October (also Versailles) and a new production of Purcell’s Fairy Queen by Mariame Clément in January. Further new productions include Pergolesi’s San Guglielmo d’Aquitania by Francesco Nappa in Iesi, Italy, Mozart’s Magic Flute in Dijon in a direction by David Lescot and Cavalli’s Calisto in Strasburg directed by Mariame Clement, following their success in Rameau’s Platée and Castor & Pollux six years ago. The revival of Pierre Audi’s Monteverdi Madrigals in Amsterdam continues to Brighton Festival as part of Les Talens Lyriques’ multiple visits to the UK this season. The season opens with an Italian tour to Pergolesi’s birthplace in Jesi for a new production of his oratorio San Guglielmo, Duca d’Aquitania, a quasi-opera replete with comic monk to be staged by Francesco Nappa on 9 and 11 September. Rousset also conducts Pergolesi’s masterpiece Stabat Mater coupled with Leo’s Salve Regina on 10 September at the Pergolesi Spontini Festival in Jesi.
