    TORINO Martedì 5 settembre Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi ore 17 LA NATURA ARTIFICIALE DI VIVALDI natura www.mitosettembremusica.it LA NATURA ARTIFICIALE DI VIVALDI Nei primissimi anni del Settecento, intrisi di razionalismo, si parla in continuazione di «Natura» come modello, e la naturalezza è il fine d’ogni arte. Quello che crea Vivaldi, molto baroccamente, è una finta natura: l’estremo artificio formale mascherato da gesto normale, spontaneo. E tutti ci crederanno. Il concerto è preceduto da una breve introduzione di Stefano Catucci Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) Concerto in la minore per due violini e archi da L’Estro Armonico op. 3 n. 8 RV 522a Allegro – [Adagio] – [Allegro] Sonata in sol maggiore per violino, violoncello e basso continuo RV 820 Allegro – Adagio – Allegro Concerto in re minore per violino, archi e basso continuo RV 813 (ms.

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.

  • BMC 36 - VIVALDI-BACH: Concerto Transcriptions for Harpsichord
    BMC 36 - VIVALDI-BACH: Concerto Transcriptions for Harpsichord Antonio Vivaldi was born in Venice on March 4th, 1678. Though ordained a priest in 1703, within a year of being ordained – according to his own account – he no longer wished to celebrate mass because of physical complaints ("tightness of the chest") which pointed to angina pectoris, asthmatic bronchitis, or a nervous disorder. It is also possible that Vivaldi was simulating illness – there is a story that he sometimes left the altar in order quickly to jot down a musical idea in the sacristy.... In any event he had become a priest against his own will, perhaps because, in his day, training for the priesthood was often the only possible way for a poor family to obtain free schooling. Vivaldi was employed for most of his working life by the Ospedale della Pietà. Often termed an "orphanage", this Ospedale was in fact a home for the female offspring of noblemen and their numerous dalliances with their mistresses. The Ospedale was thus well endowed by the "anonymous" fathers; its furnishings bordered on the opulent, the young ladies were well looked-after, and the musical standards among the highest in Venice. Many of Vivaldi's Concerti would have been performed before Venetian audiences with his many talented pupils. In 1711 twelve new Concerto compositions were published in Amsterdam by the music publisher Estienne Roger under the title l'Estro armonico (Harmonic Inspiration). This was to be the start of an important alliance which greatly expedited the dissemination of Vivaldi's music throughout Europe. L'estro armonico was followed by La stravaganza in 1714, Duo and Trio Sonatas, Op.
