Red Priest Programme Principle Tour Partner TRULY MADLY BAROQUE “For sheer technical wizardry, charismatic showmanship and expressive devilment, Red Priest is in an exhilarating class of its own.” – BBC Music Magazine Kia ora tātou I am delighted to welcome you to the first concert of the CMNZ 2019 Concert Season. Here at CMNZ it is always exciting to see the intensive planning which goes into curating a season come into life as a concert experience. We look forward to sharing that experience with you. We were thrilled when Red Priest accepted our invitation to open the 2019 Season. These extraordinary musicians showcase the extravagance of the Baroque era performing with their wonderful charisma and irreverent humour. As they travel the country, Red Priest will also be giving a family concert in Napier and education performances in Wellington and Dunedin. With a renewed interest in recorder playing across schools in Aotearoa, this is a very special opportunity for young people and families to see and hear the virtuosity of recorder player Piers Adams alongside his superb fellow musicians on violin, cello and harpsichord. Through this encounter, our musicians and audiences of tomorrow can find out just how much fun making music in a chamber group can be! Right across 2019 we will be presenting engaging and diverse music that both respects the long heritage of the genre and, like Red Priest this evening, expands the meaning of chamber music. I hope you enjoy this concert and I look forward to seeing you at the next. Ngā mihi nui, Catherine Gibson Chief Executive Chamber Music New Zealand Please respect the music, the musicians, and your fellow audience members, by switching off all cellphones, pagers and watches. Taking photographs, or sound or video recordings during the concert is strictly prohibited unless with the prior approval of Chamber Music New Zealand. “Red Priest is like no other early music instrumental ensemble you have ever heard… transforming Baroque clichés into vivid drama, often at terrific speed and with practised coordination” – Daily Telegraph Truly Madly Baroque Auckland, Napier, Palmerston North, Christchurch & Dunedin ANTONIO VIVALDI (1678-1741) Concerto in A minor (orig.

  • Program Notes by Eric Bromberger
    PROGRAM NOTES BY ERIC BROMBERGER Concerto for Four Violins in B Minor, Op. 3, No. 10, RV 580 ANTONIO VIVALDI b. March 4, 1678; Venice, Italy d. July 27 or 28, 1741; Venice, Italy Composed 1711 Performance Time 10 minutes In the early years of the eighteenth century, Vivaldi held the rather modest position of director of a conservatory for homeless girls in Venice, but his compositions were carrying his name throughout Europe. In 1711, he published a collection of twelve violin concertos under the title L’Estro armonico, translated variously as “The Spirit of Harmony” or “Harmonious Inspiration.” Significantly, Vivaldi chose to have this set published in Amsterdam, and for two good reasons: printing techniques there were superior to any available in Italy and, perhaps more important, his music was extremely popular in northern Europe. Each of the concertos of L’Estro armonico is a concerto grosso, in which one or more violin soloists is set against a main body of strings and harpsichord continuo. The intent in these concertos is not so much virtuosic display (though they are difficult enough, certainly) as it is in making contrast between the sound of the solo instruments and the main body of strings. The twelve concertos of L’Estro armonico quickly became popular and influential in northern Europe. Bach knew this music very well, and – if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery – paid Vivaldi the immense compliment of transcribing six of these concertos for different instruments and using them as his own (a practice that would be highly questionable today but which was viewed more generously three centuries ago): the present Concerto for Four Violins in B Minor became Bach’s Concerto for Four Claviers in A Minor, BWV 1065.

Little is known of his musical education, though he may well have studied at the ‘Accademia’ of the Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica in Bergamo, where there were five-year courses in the humanities, counterpoint and instrumental playing given by a violinist at the Basilica, for instance Ludovico Ferronati. In 1711 Locatelli explained in a letter how he used to practise in the choir loft of Santa Maria Maggiore to improve his violin-playing. In the same letter he applied (suc- cessfully) for the position of third violinist with the Cappella – without pay! As early as the end of 1711 he left Bergamo forever and moved to Rome, where Corelli was the ‘main attraction’ for violinists.

  • L'estro Prog Notes
    January 20–24, 2016 Trinity St-Paul’s Centre, Jeanne Lamon Hall L'ESTRO ARMONICO Mira Glodeanu, guest director & violin soloist This week’s concerts have been programmed by guest director Mira Glodeanu. She sent the following note outlining her concept of the programme, written by her collaborator Marc Dumont. Exploring L’estro armonico: A musical journey through an imagined Italy The astonishing Vivaldi takes the violin to its extremes, with a new harmonic inspiration that was completely out of the ordinary for his time. “Harmonic inspiration” is the essence of the meaning of “l’estro armonico,” and with this collection, Vivaldi offers a sort of manifesto for a “modern” violin. He seems to make light of the greatest difficulties, striving to invent music so swift that at times it seems unplayable, for the sheer pleasure of instrumental colours. This concert may be seen as a musical journey to the heart of music that is free, full of inspiration and humour. It is a journey in two parts — the first around Vivaldi, with two concertos from L’estro armonico, but also the quite unexpected Four seasons by… Giovanni Guido. This Italian composer and violinist, contemporary of Vivaldi, passed through Versailles and remained in France, among the highest royalty, for more than a quarter of a century. This is where he composed his Quattro stagioni, in imitation to Vivaldi. The second part brings us to a different scene, where music becomes theatre. Taking the spotlight are two oboes, or just one, and then two violins. After Vivaldi, this music invites you on a journey away from Italy, passing through Hanover — where Francesco Venturini spent most of his life — and on to Prague, where Giuseppe Tartini spent a few years.

  • Handel and Leclair Neal Zaslaw
    Handel and Leclair Neal Zaslaw Those of us who studied with Paul Henry Lang while he was gestating his monumental biography of Handel were fortunate to share his discoveries and insights, to hear key chapters as they were finished, and to receive an enthusiastic and inspired introduction to the music, life, and times of that great German turned Italian turned Englishman. In such a state of "Handel- consciousness," this writer, beginning work on a dissertation on Jean-Marie Leclair l'aine, was intrigued by statements in the literature on Leclair which linked the latter's style to Handel's. Marc Pincherle, for instance, had written of Leclair:1 His models were the Italians and the French; but before investi- gating what he owed them, one notes incidentally certain affinities also with the greatest Germans of his time: Johann Sebastian Bach and Handel, whom he did not know-the first for certain and the other in all probability. This opinion was echoed in other articles on Leclair, including that in Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart: 2 Leclair's models were especially Italian and French forerunners; but one finds also a certain harmonic and contrapuntal connec- tion with J. S. Bach and Handel (although in all probability he did not know them) .... Marpurg in his Traite de la fugue [Berlin, 1756] placed Leclair on ,a level with Handel, Telemann, the Graun brothers, and the members of the Bach family. Similarities between Handel's and Leclair's instrumental music may in some part be due to the fact that these men, like so many of their contemporaries, were indebted to Italian models, and especially to the music of Corelli.
