Venice streches the imagination on all fronts

The story of the city is almost implausible. Venice was born as a refuge against invaders, in the middle of an inaccessible area of marsh. But a virtue was made of necessity. The lack of raw materials literally forced the Vene-tians into the sea, where they proved to be masters of shipping. As a result, from the Middle Ages onwards the city was transformed from a settlement without prospects into a great trading nation with an aggressive colonial urge for expansion.

Locally the Republic was the laboratory of democracy such as we know it to-day, with complex mechanisms of participation and supervision. A false step on Venetian soil was severely punished. At the same time Venice was a place where more freedom existed than elsewhere in Europe. Instead of fortified castles, open and unprotected patricians’ homes arose along what has been described as the most chic street in Europe: the Grand Canal. And in this way the Venetian Republic sent into the world the image they most wished to propagate: that of La Serenissima, a dream of peace and luxury.

The musical history of Venice is not unrelated to the trading mentality and the quest for innovation that go along with it, starting with Petrucci, via Willaert and the Gabrielis to Cavalli and even Vivaldi. A display of power and ostentation? Certainly. But in Venice nothing is what it seems. The Venetian microcosm gives priority to imaginative thinking and genius, to colour and movement. And in this way Venetian music also surpasses the imagination.

la serenissima

The Republic of Venice, with its clear view of the Levant, has always been a breeding ground for innovative music. That music subsequently made its way across the whole of Europe. This is not as strange as it might seem: music printing was developed in Venice at the beginning of the sixteenth century, making it possible for music to be disseminated on a much larger scale. Venice became a hub not only for merchandise, but also for music.

First we have the Renaissance, with the double choir element of the Vene-tian School, then the commercial opera of Francesco Cavalli, and finally the music of Vivaldi: with Venice as its theme, the Early Music Festival takes on the air of a Byzantine mosaic, such as we find in Venice, all colourful and shimmering. At the same time the Venice dossier poses huge questions about how we manage our cultural heritage nowadays, in an inspiring but also responsible manner. Permanent reconstruction is the order of the day for every contemporary Venetian: beauty and transience go hand in hand.

The Venet ian School

adriaen willaert The term Venetian School is primarily used in reference to painting - with sixteenth-century masters such as the Bellinis, Carpaccio and Titian - but in music we also find a Venetian model that was internationally prominent.

Adriaen Willaert, born in the Flemish town of Rumbeke, near Roeselare, made a top career for himself as maestro di cappella of St Mark’s Basilica. Willaert’s work is exceptionally wide-ranging, and we plan to demonstrate that in this Festival. The best-known aspect of his work is his multi-choral style, in which different vocal and instrumental groups interact in a musical question and answer game. With this technique Willaert lays the foundation of the musical Venetian School, with in his wake composers such as the Gabrielis, De Rore, Merulo and later on Monteverdi. The technique became an important source of inspiration to European Early Baroque composers, and we see the richness of polychorality return with Sweelinck, Schütz and Bach.

Early Venet ian opera

francesco cavalli

Venice is the place where the first commercial, universally accessible opera productions were staged, after the genre had developed initially in private academies and palaces in Florence and Mantua. Francesco Caletti, better known as Francesco Cavalli - he took the name of his patron Federico Cavalli - is the most significant protagonist in Venetian opera.

Along with Claudio Monteverdi, Cavalli was one of the great creative geniuses of the seventeenth century, and during his career, which spanned nearly sixty years, he composed more than 30 operas. For this Festival, Philippe Jaroussky, Christina Pluhar and Leonardo García-Alarcón have chosen their favourite Cavalli arias, and Concerto Palatino will present Cavalli’s Vespers, which are sometimes referred to as an alternative to Monteverdi’s Maria Vespers.

From High Baroque to the G alant Style

vivaldi and galuppi

Nowadays Vivaldi is possibly the first name people will come up with if asked to think of a composer from the High Baroque era. But Vivaldi has only recently achieved this status. Unlike Bach and Handel, whose music has been uninterruptedly available, Vivaldi was in fact barely known outside academic circles until shortly before the Second World War.

The story of the rediscovery of Vivaldi is too exciting not to recount, and his music continues to surprise. This also applies to his colleague Baldassare Galuppi, 30 years his junior. His music is clearly more courtly in character, although - stylistically the late Vivaldi comes pretty close. Indeed, following Vivaldi’s death, when his music almost immediately went out of fashion, some of his compositions were sold as music of the highly popular Galuppi, who could scarcely meet the demand for his music. How things can change…

Ar t ist in residence

gli angeli genève

We proudly present the Swiss ensemble Gli Angeli Genève as artist in resi-dence. This ensemble of soloists, led by baritone Stephan Macleod, has over recent years set out a new course with their performances of seventeenth-century Baroque repertoire.

The ensemble is composed of singers like Hana Blažíková, Alex Potter, Damien Guillon, Robert Getchell and Jan Kobow, who generally star as so-loists with the major European Baroque ensembles. In Gli Angeli Genève their role changes: here they become part of a singers’ collective, and are thus able to present music they normally get little chance to perform.

Gli Angeli Genève’s residence is centred entirely around Johann Rosenmüller, one of those many German composers who moved to Venice because of its vibrant musical scene. Gli Angeli paints a portrait of Rosenmüller on the basis of large-scale festive psalm settings and some of the more intimate vesper psalms, plus expressive cantatas for two basses.

Ar t ist in residence

olga pashchenko

She may perhaps make a frail first impression, but don’t be fooled: as soon as she sits down at the keyboard, Olga Pashchenko transforms into a true key-board lioness. Whether she’s playing harpsichord, organ or piano, she makes the sparks fly. During the festival Pashchenko will accompany the silent film Der Golem, play arrangements of Vivaldi’s works by Bach on the harpsichord, and give a fortepiano recital based around Mendelssohn’s Venice-inspired Lieder ohne Worte. Pashchenko will also provide music for the daily Eventalks.

This year the young Russian is our second artist in residence. That is something special, because in the field of early music Russia has long lagged behind. That there is now considerable movement discernible in this area is due in part to the hard work, both in front of and behind the scenes, of Pashchenko’s teacher Alexei Lubimov.

Springboard for young talent

international van wassenaer competition

Since its first edition in 1986, the International Van Wassenaer Competition has been giving a boost to early music ensembles and musicians at the start of their career. We feel honoured that the Early Music Festival was asked to host this renowned competition for the second time.

This year the international jury consists of Krijn Koetsveld (chairman), violinist Gunar Letzbor (Ars Antiqua Austria), harpsichordist and conductor Václav Luks (Collegium 1704), traverso player Jana Seméradová (Collegium Marianum), conductor Giulio Prandi (Ghislieri Consort) and harpsichordist Carole Cerasi. Together they will judge the ten ensembles competing for a place in the final. The participants are offered master classes which are also open to the public. The six ensembles that make the finals will then compete not only for cash prizes but also for a concert tour during the Early Music Season.

The list of participants in the International Van Wassenaer Competition will be published at the beginning of June on www.oudemuziek.nl/concours.

STIMU-symposium 2016

reinventing a usable past

The STIMU symposium entitled Reinventing a usable past uses Jewish early music as a metaphor for the music of ‘the others’: those who were not at-tached to the courts or to civil or ecclesiastical institutions which during the Middle Ages and early modern period functioned as centres of written docu-mentation. The Venetian Ghetto, where Jews from Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Russia and Greece lived side by side, was a microcosm of the city sur-rounding it: La Serenissima was home to many nationalities. And although most of its residents were Roman Catholic, Venice was also a multi-religious centre, with communities of Greek Orthodox, Protestants and Muslims, and was to a certain extent a model for the multicultural society of today.

The symposium focuses on the paradoxes that arise during the study of the musical heritage of minorities. When we step outside the ‘magic circle’ of literate, Christian, European men, we are usually confronted with a scarcity of source material and a lack of musical notation. Any attempt to make this material performable, having first compared it with other sources or with musical traditions passed down orally, raises massive questions concerning authenticity.

With, among others, Tova Beeri (Tel Aviv University), Ruth F. Davis (University of Cambridge), Zehavit Stern (Oxford University) and Judith Cohen (York University).

500 years of the venetian ghetto

In 1516, five hundred years ago, the Ghetto was founded in Venice. The Venetian Jews were forced to live together on a small island, the Ghetto Nuovo, and to identify themselves visibly when they left the Ghetto.

On September 1st we present three concerts on this theme, which sadly enough has lost none of its topicality. Ensemble Lucidarium reconstructs the soundtrack of Jewish life on the basis of texts from Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice and of the Venetian rabbi Leon Modena. The Nederlands Kamerkoor, conducted by Richard Egarr, sings psalms set to Hebrew melodies by Benedetto Marcello, and artist in residence Olga Pashchenko accompanies Paul Wegener’s masterly silent film Der Golem, wie er in die Welt kam from 1920, which tells of horrors and magic in the Prague Ghetto. The day begins with an introduction by Maartje van Gelder (University of Amsterdam) in the Summer School.

eventalks

Following the success of the daily Eventalks in 2015, we are once again, in close collaboration with the University of Utrecht’s Centre for the Humanities, presenting a second series during this Festival. At the end of the afternoon a concise, spoken reflection – like an intellectual haiku - will be wreathed in music.

We are entrusting the spoken segment of the Eventalks to creative thinkers. Artist in residence Olga Pashchenko provides the musical element: every day she will be playing historic keyboard instruments. Eventalk will thus combine a stimulating discourse with music, in the Hertz hall: a half-hour of stolen time, just before evening falls.

carillon festival This year the Early Music Carillon Festival is taking place for the sixth time. Carillon music will ring out over Utrecht city centre every day of the Festival, this year with a Venetian slant.

The carillon concerts take place in between the other Early Music Festival concerts. This means that carillon music accompanies you to your next concert location in the city – from the Geertekerk to the Willibrordkerk and from Leeuwenbergh to TivoliVredenburg. If you’d prefer to sit down to hear it, Flora’s Hof on the corner of the Dom Square and the Servetstraat is a good spot for listening. Those who want more comfort can pick up a voucher from the Festival Centre TivoliVredenburg, and use it to take advantage of a special offer at a restaurant near the Dom Tower.

Utrecht’s city carillonneur, Malgosia Fiebig, naturally plays a leading role in the Early Music Carillon Festival. Some prominent colleagues of hers are also involved, and young talent will be performing in the carillon fringe.

Curious to know just what happens up there in the Dom Tower during the carillon concerts? Then come and take a peek at Malgosia Fiebig on Saturday 27 August and Saturday 3 September. On Wednesday 31 August there is a children’s guided tour (6+).

The carillon voucher can be used at the Restaurant & Brasserie De Rechtbank (Korte Nieuwstraat 14).

OPENING UITFEEST

jacob van eyck 3.0

Jacob van Eyck, the seventeenth-century recorder player and city carillon-neur of Utrecht, is possibly the greatest son of Utrecht. During the opening of the Uitfeest we honour him with a musical production in the Grote Zaal in TivoliVredenburg. The Dutch recorder god Erik Bosgraaf embarks on a musical collaboration with sound artist Jorrit Tamminga and DJ DNA. Together they present a theatrical audio experience featuring the music of Jacob van Eyck.

Admission to this special concert in the Grote Zaal in TivoliVredenburg is free, and the concert marks the opening of the Uitfeest, the official starting shot of Utrecht’s cultural season. Su 4 Sep / 12.30 Opening Uitfeest

La Serenissima

openingWith kapellmeisters and organists such as Willaert, Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli and Claudio Monteverdi, the musical culture at St Mark’s Basilica had flourished. The Venetian School, the most remarkable aspect of which was its use of multiple choirs, was world famous. Many musicians and composers from abroad were drawn by this effervescent city of music.

Among these was Johann Rosenmüller. In 1658 he was appointed as trombon-ist at St Mark’s Basilica and would remain in Venice for nearly 25 years. Of all the ‘Tedeschi’ (Germans) who were attracted by this city, his music is the most thoroughly Italianized. By way of his music, influences from Italian music spread within Germany, and even Telemann cited Rosenmüller as an impor-tant example. The Swiss ensemble Gli Angeli Genève, artist in residence at this year’s Festival, has chosen to devote its residency exclusively to this composer.

Again this year the opening concert will be heralded with a carillon concert and the bells of the Domtoren.

Festive opening concert: San Marco Vespers

Gli Angeli Genève / Stephan MacLeod

Gli Angeli Genève opens its residency with Johann Rosenmüller’s large-scale festive Vespers for choir and orchestra, as they might have sounded in the Basilica di San Marco. The majestic Dixit Dominus is one of the most extensive

psalms from Rosenmüller’s oeuvre. By contrast, the beginning of the Laudate pueri is more like chamber music, though it then fans out to become a rich and complex whole. The Magnifi-cat, with its double choir structure and thematic richness, is possibly the most colourful element of the programme. It’s no wonder that in Germany Rosenmüller was called Alpha & Omega musicorum.

Summer School: Wouter WagemakersThe architecture of Venice

Why does St Mark’s Basilica strike us as so Byzantine? And why are there so many impressive palaces along Venice’s Grand Canal? Wouter Wagemakers is currently working on his doctorate in Italian architecture at the University of Amsterdam. In this Summer School he recounts the history of the top archi-tectural sights in Venice.

Ensemble Masques Albinoni unmasked

Ironically enough Tomaso Albinoni has become most famous for ‘his’ Adagio, which is actually a 20th-century forgery by Remo Giazotto. Today Ensemble Masques demonstrates that the real Albinoni is a master of chamber music. The ensemble, which includes violinist Sophie Gent and harpsichordist Olivier Fortin, applies itself to his five-part sonatas.

The Utrecht Bellringers Guild liter-ally (b)rings the bells of the entire city centre to life. It begins with all fourteen bells in the Domtoren, which can only be heard simultaneously a few times a year. Then bells in other churches join in, so that the bell music fans out over the entire city. At 12.15 two walks start from the Domplein, led by guides who keep a close track of the bell relay.

Malgosia FiebigGaluppi, Merula, Castello and Vivaldi on carillon

The sonata form came into being in the early years of the seventeenth century, as a new step in the coming of age of instrumental music. Tarquinio Merula and Dario Castello both played a crucial role in this development. City carillonneur Malgosia Fiebig plays their early ‘sonate concertate’, and by means of works by Galuppi illustrates to what extent the genre had changed a century later. In addition, Fiebig will strew a few arrangements of Vivaldi’s best-known flute concertos out over the city.

Marco MencoboniClaudio Merulo on the harpsichord

Harpsichordist and conductor Marco Mencoboni is without doubt one of the most creative minds on the early music scene of today. It’s not for nothing that he has chosen to play the music of Claudio Merulo, whose toccatas in-corporate countless innovative miracles which were a source of inspiration to other great minds such as Frescobaldi and Sweelinck.

Michel Godard & coAn Egyptian in Venice

What if in 1620 an Egyptian traveller and musician had come ashore in Venice, and subsequently met Claudio Monteverdi? Would they have got along with each other musically in terms of their improvisations, their harmony and ornamentation technique? Serpent player Michel Godard experiments on the basis of this scenario. With fel-low musicians including the Egyptian Ihab Radwan and mezzo-soprano Guillemette Laurens, he explores the similarities between music from two different continents.

Scherzi Musicali / Nicholas AchtenAmorous dialogues by Sances

Giovanni Felice Sances, who later on in his life would score some great successes in the service of the Hapsburg emperor, spent a short time in Venice as a young man, composing mainly secular music. Nicholas Achten, a man of many talents who leads his ensemble as singer, harpist, harpsichordist and lutenist, has chosen for this programme Sances’ love dialogues and mini-operas from this period. The ups and downs of young lovers, beset by villainous scoundrels and monsters, will leave no-one unmoved.

La Colombina / Josep CabréThe world of Willaert

The Catalan baritone Josep Cabré chooses only the finest voices for his vocal ensemble La Colombina: Raquel Andueza, José Herhandez Pastor and Josep Benet. They sing intimate works by Willaert, which may have been sung in private circles. Among these works by the master are French chansons, mad-rigal settings of texts from antiquity, and Italian villanelle alla napolitana. Cabré completes his portrait of Wil-laert with motets and madrigals by his successors Cipriano de Rore, Andrea Gabrieli and Costanzo Porta.

Gli Angeli Genève / Stephan MacLeodIntimate psalms by Rosenmüller and

Whereas artist in residence Gli Angeli Genève opened the festival with cel-ebratory double choir splendour, in this second programme the ensemble goes in search of intimacy. The psalm settings by Rosenmüller and Rigatti, with their eight singers and ensemble of strings, may be on a smaller scale, but the music is no less ambitious. The name Rosenmüller scarcely needs any further introduction. Less well-known is his colleague Giovanni Antonio Rigatti, who worked at St Mark’s Basilica in the Doge’s Venice. The Nisi Dominus, built on a repeated bass motif of four descending notes, is a striking example of his expressive style.

‘The voice of an angel and as virtuosic as the devil’: Philippe Jaroussky, coun-tertenor and world-class star, is finally returning to Utrecht. He has made a personal selection from his favourite

operas by Cavalli and contemporaries Cesti, Legrenzi, Steffani and Luigi Rossi. Venice was the cradle of opera for the public at large, and following an initial experiment in 1637 the ‘dramma per musica’ soon grew to become a com-mercial success, with no-one more successful than Francesco Cavalli, with more than thirty productions to his name.

Ensemble #Baroques / Laurent Stewart Chiaroscuro: light and darkness in Venice

In sunlight Venice looks radiant, in fog melancholy prevails. This mystery has been a source of inspiration for many composers. Harpsichordist Laurent Stewart combines doleful Lamentos by Strozzi and Fontei with sometimes dark, sometimes scintillatingly light sonatas by Castello, Rovetta, Rosen-müller and Legrenzi. The voice of the Czech mezzo-soprano Dagmar Šašková is pre-eminently suitable for the playful contact with this musical light.

Eugène FerréThe lute books of Petrucci

In 1498 Ottaviano Petrucci obtained the right to print music in Venice. Among his first publications were vol-umes of lute music by Spinacino, Dalza and Capirola. These three composers represent a revolution in lute playing: instead of a plectrum the fingers were used, which made polyphonic playing possible. Eugène Ferré explores this early repertoire by means of frottolas, tarantellas and lute arrangements based on popular Franco-Flemish models.

Summer School: Olivier Lexa (I)Francesco Cavalli: Life and Work

In 2014 Olivier Lexa, director of the Venetian Centre for Baroque Music, devoted a biography to Francesco Cavalli: for the first time ever Cavalli’s life was recorded in as much detail as possible. He can rightly be described as one of the most important musicians of the seventeenth century. During a career that spanned almost sixty years he played a crucial role in the develop-ment of opera, and his achievements as kapellmeister at St Mark’s were of inestimable significance.

Europa Galante / Fabio BiondiVivaldi’s Trio Sonatas

In the nineties Europa Galante was the ensemble that championed the use of historical instruments for Vivaldi’s music. And how! The energetic, sometimes even slightly raw style of playing brought about a revolution, and went on to gain many followers. In this programme of trio sonatas by Vivaldi, Legrenzi, Castello and Veracini, violinist Fabio Biondi and his fellow musicians prove that they’ve still got what it takes.

The doges of Venice were only too eager to show off their power and wealth. They built splendid palaces and surrounded themselves with ceremony. Thomas Baeté’s ClubMédieval explores the Staatsmotetten (State Motets) com-posed by Francesco Landini, Johannes Ciconia and Antonius Romanus for ceremonial occasions, such as inaugurations and receptions. In 1415 Romanus, originally from Rome and the singing teacher of the eight choirboys of St Mark’s, supplied the first contribu-tion to this repertoire in the form of the motet Ducalis sedes for Doge Tommaso Mocenigo.

As well as the solo motets of Monteverdi, Barbara Strozzi’s magnificent Serenata can also be heard.

Cappella Mariana is our guest again this year, and for the best reason im-aginable: during recent festival editions this Czech ensemble has impressed us with its fresh style of music-making in combination with a perfectly balanced sound. Today the men of the ensemble turn their attention to Claudio Merulo, who held the post of organist at St Mark’s. He became known primarily for his instrumental music, but he also wrote vocal works. These included mo-tets and a mass which was based on the popular chanson Susanne un jour by Orlandus Lassus.

Cappella MediterraneaCavalli: Teatro dei Sensi

The opening of the Teatro San Cassiano in 1637 is a key moment in the history of opera. The genre undergoes a transformation: from being a private matter for aristocrats it becomes entertainment for all. And the audience has to be able to identify with the personages. From now on the gods will share the stage with kings and courtesans, with wet nurses, servants and, of course, lovers. In his operas Francesco Cavalli evokes a fascinating image of this ‘theatre of life’, in which human passions form the leitmotiv. Cappella Mediterranea, tried and tested in Italian Baroque, take the audience on a journey through this universe.

Ghislieri Choir & Consort / Giulio PrandiVivaldi and Galuppi

When ‘Italian Baroque’ is mentioned, people these days immediately think of Vivaldi. It is therefore hard to imagine that after his death the name and the music of ‘the red priest’ instantly sank into obscurity, not to be rediscovered until late on in the 20th century. Follow-ing Vivaldi’s death in 1741, Baldassare Galuppi immediately became the big

star, and sometimes Vivaldi’s composi-tions were even sold under his name, the Dixit Dominus being the most striking example of this. Whether this fast-change trick actually worked re-mains the question, since Vivaldi’s High Baroque style of composing clearly con-trasts with Galuppi’s clear, Early Clas-sical style. But judge for yourself: the specialists in this repertoire, the Ghislieri Consort & Choir under the direction of the flamboyant Giulio Prandi, present grand psalm settings for choir and orchestra by Vivaldi and Galuppi.

Summer School: Olivier Lexa (II)The Demise of Venice?

The pomp and splendour of Venice is under threat. The city is subsiding, the water is rising, and the hordes of tourists grow ever larger by the year. Cruise ships tower surrealistically tall above the Doge’s Palace. Ever since the sixteenth century Venice has been a tourist attraction, and the city has always offered enjoyment, not only to sailors and merchants, but also to travelling aristocrats. The ‘Las Vegas’ of Italy? Olivier Lexa, director of the Venetian Centre for Baroque Music, talks about the paradox: how the sorely needed tourism could at the same time mean the downfall of this city.

Marcello belonged to Venetian nobility and as an ‘amateur composer’ could allow himself to take more

artistic liberties than his colleagues. As well as his dramatic cantata Arianna abbandonata, you can hear a selection from his best-known work: psalm set-tings based on Hebrew melodies. From the oeuvre of Legrenzi, kapellmeister at St Mark’s, Václav Luks has chosen vesper psalms including a Laudate Pueri and a Nisi Dominus, plus the cheerful Magnificat. Collegium 1704 alternates these with works by Albinoni, Pallavicino and Lotti.

Let no-one claim that ‘the red priest’ composed the same concerto hundreds of times. Vivaldi fans know better…!

Francesco CortiGaluppi at the harpsichord

Baldassare Galuppi was famous as a keyboard virtuoso. His contemporaries were stupefied by his fiery playing. His musical legacy no longer receives the recognition it deserves, and this applies in particular to his keyboard works. Francesco Corti, prize-winner at key-board competitions in Leipzig and Bruges, would like to break a lance for him. Galuppi’s Early Classical style is elegant and full of bravura. For this reason Corti considers Hasse and Domenico Scarlatti his kindred spirits.

Micrologus / Patrizia BoviCarnivalesque

Many stock characters from the com-media dell’arte appear in 15th-century frottolas and villottas, including the soldier Scaramella, the lovers Giannolo and Rosina and the unhappy housewife Ramacina. These figures appeared during the intermezzi in comedies and tragedies. The intermezzi, often filthy and satirical, were popular at the major courts. Micrologus presents various scenes containing universal moments of betrayal, despair and all-conquering love.

Koen Cosaert Willaert and Galuppi on carillon

Koen Cosaert is the director of the Royal Carillon School ‘Jef Denyn’ in Mechelen. Since 1987 he has taught carillon, campanology and harmony at the School. In this concert Cosaert combines works by Adriaen Willaert, including ricercares and canzonas, and arrangements of organ concertos by Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni.

Graindelavoix / Björn SchmelzerA Cypriot vesper

Before Cyprus was ceded to Venice in the 15th century, it was ruled by kings from the French dynastic fam-ily Lusignan. As part of their retinue French composers also came to the island, and left their compositions behind. Björn Schmelzer, known for his much talked-about concerts and performances, has reconstructed some 15th-century vespers on the basis of the Cypriot manuscript Torino J.II.9 and Greco-Byzantine hymns.

Stefan TemminghLa Folia Barockorchester / Robin Peter MüllerVivaldi’s virtuosic recorder concertos

Vivaldi composed a number of very virtuosic concertos for recorder, for both the alto and the sopranino (‘flautino’). The young South African recorder player Stefan Temmingh, who lives in Munich, is able to bend these concertos to his will, with bravura. An exciting concert of the highlights from Vivaldi’s oeuvre for recorder and orchestra, including the diabolically difficult Concerto in C minor.

L’Arpeggiata / Christina PluharCavalli: L’Amore innamorato

Although Cavalli was a church musi-cian at St Mark’s for almost sixty years, he acquired his greatest fame – and fortune – from his operas. He was even able to treat himself to a palazzo on the Grand Canal. When in 1639 Cavalli composed his first opera, the genre was relatively young, but he recognized its potential and became the driving

force behind the developments in this field. Every one of his more than thirty operas is a miracle of musical ingenu-ity. Christina Pluhar has selected the finest arias, including La Calisto and La Didone, and is bringing with her not only her orchestra, with extensive continuo, but also a trio of terrific sopranos.

Gli Angeli Genève / Stephan MacLeodRosenmüller: cantatas for two basses

Gli Angeli Genève rounds off its time as artist in residence with Early Baroque cantatas from the German and Italian-speaking regions. The cantatas were written for the rare combination of two bass voices, strings and continuo. The rich musical culture of Venice worked like a magnet on composers from Ger-many, and many went there to study. One of them, Heinrich Schütz, the ‘father of German music’, did indeed transform the music from north of the Alps. Stephan MacLeod and his fellow musicians perform expressive cantatas by Schütz, Tunder, Biber, Legrenzi and Merula, and it goes without saying that they give special prominence to Johann Rosenmüller, the particular focus of their stint in residence.

Summer School: Fred JacobsHuygens in Venice

In 1620 Constantijn Huygens visited Venice as part of a group of diplomats. He kept a detailed diary of his entire journey. Huygens was present at a ser-vice of vespers, with the music directed by no less a person than Monteverdi himself: ‘the most perfect music’, Huygens wrote lyrically. With the help of the diary Fred Jacobs introduces you to the highlights of Huygens’ journey: through the eyes and ears of a devotee.

During the Renaissance Italy was also a leading figure in the field of dance. Ital-ian dance masters were sought after throughout Europe, and thanks to Venetian typography the fame of Italian dances spread rapidly. Following the success of the Baroque Dance workshops over recent years, this Venice Festival is therefore a good time to dive deeper into the world of Renaissance dance. Today: Fabritio Caroso’s canary, from his Nobiltà di Dame.

Collegium Marianum / Jana SemerádováGaluppi’s concertos

Galuppi’s definition of good music – vaghezza, chiarezza e buona modulazione (beauty, clarity and good modulations) – is certainly illustrated in his own concertos, in which Galuppi deftly deals with being on the borderline between Baroque and Classical. Collegium Mari-anum from Prague places concertos by Vivaldi alongside others by the Czech composer Frantisek Jiránek. Jiránek studied in Venice and was clearly inspired by Vivaldi.

Carole Cerasi Between republic and absolute monarchy:

Storace and D’Anglebert

From boundless subtlety to terrific virtuosity: harpsichordist Carole Cerasi coaxes from her instrument every pos-sible gradation between light and dark. In this recital she juxtaposes Bernardo Storace and Jean Henry D’Anglebert. In 1689 D’Anglebert, in the service of Louis XIV, published his monumental Pièces de clavecin, a milestone in refined French repertoire. Absolutely nothing is known about Storace. His volume of variations Selva di varie ap-peared in Venice and is the sole known source of his work.

Les Flamboyants / Michael FormPetrucci’s Harmonice Musices Odhecaton

The year 1501 marks a revolution in the history of music: in Venice Ottaviano Petrucci published his Odhecaton, the first printed music collection for which a new technique of notation using separate typeset letters was ap-plied. Thanks to this invention the art of music printing developed rapidly, resulting in the double-quick distribu-tion of repertoire throughout Europe. Petrucci chose to print polyphony by Franco-Flemish composers such as Jos-quin, Obrecht and Busnois, which also became popular with instrumentalists. Les Flamboyants have made a selection from this 15th-century Top 100.

Children’s workshop – making masksFor children between 6 and 11 years old

Do you want to celebrate the Carnival of Venice with us during the coming Early Music Festival? The inhabitants of Venice wore their often richly decorated masks not only during the many festivi-ties, but anyone who wished to remain anonymous could also hide behind a mask. In this workshop you will decorate your own mask so that you will look like a Venetian nobleman or noblewoman.

Alessandro and his brother Benedetto Marcello were dilettantes in the original sense of the word: coming from a noble family, they didn’t need to rely on music to provide them with a living. But don’t underestimate their compositional qualities. No less a person than Johann Sebastian Bach arranged concertos by both brothers for keyboard. Those arrangements and other works by the Marcellos can be heard today on the carillon.

Cantica Symphonia / Giuseppe MalettoThe Sacrae cantiones by Andrea Gabrieli

Andrea Gabrieli, an uncle of the great Giovanni Gabrieli, published his volume titled Sacrae Cantiones in 1565, at about the same time that he was ap-pointed organist of St Mark’s. He clear-ly drew his inspiration from Lassus, who three years earlier had produced comparable works. A striking aspect of the Sacrae Cantiones is the close connection between the music and the textual content. Cantica Symphonia, who for more than twenty years now have been an authority when it comes to Italian Renaissance polyphony, are keen to haul Andrea out of the shadow of his slightly better-known nephew Giovanni.

Auser Musici pays homage to Francesco Gasparini.

Last year Gasparini’s opera Il Bajazet, the centrepiece of this programme, was recorded in its entirety for the first time, by Auser Musici. Together with the re-nowned soprano Roberta Invernizzi, the ensemble presents arias from this and other operas by Gasparini: bel canto from the 18th century.

Concerto Palatino / Bruce DickeyCavalli’s Vespers

In the festival of 1991 Concerto Palatino staged the Vesper Psalms of Cavalli for the first time. It was a sensation. Since then Bruce Dickey and Charles Toet’s ensemble has been regarded as pre-eminent in this repertoire. Given the fact that Cavalli’s career at St Mark’s spanned sixty years, it is remarkable

how little sacred music of his has been passed down. Concerto Palatino compiled these vespers from his grand psalm settings, which display all the popular techniques of the time: from double choir formations and choral declamation to the most expressive operatic techniques. Instrumental concertos and canzonas bind the vocal works together to produce an experi-ence that in terms of musical splendour holds its own with the famous Maria Vespers of Monteverdi.

Summer School: Maartje van Gelder500 years Ghetto in Venice

This year it is exactly five centuries ago that all Jews in Venice were forced to go and live together in one district. The word coined for this at the time was ‘ghetto’, which is still used today. This event of 1516 will be commemorated by means of several concerts. In this Summer School Maartje van Gelder will, by way of introduction to these concerts, tell us about the history and cultural life in the ghetto.

Leila Schayegh& Jörg HalubekAlbinoni and Bach

Italian violin sonatas from around 1700? In that case you possibly think first of Corelli. But don’t forget Albinoni: his technically challenging so-natas are much more virtuosic. He was admired by no less a figure than Bach, who owned a number of his works. In Bach’s violin sonatas the influence of Albinoni’s style is unmistakably present. The Swiss violinist Leila Schayegh juxta-poses sonatas by the two composers.

Javier NúñezGiovanni Picchi

There is only one book of keyboard music by Giovanni Picchi that has been preserved: Intavolatura di balli d’arpicordi. The volume was published in Venice in 1621 and is packed with dance music. Cleverly written and virtuosic: that’s right up Javier Nuñez’s street. Critics have described the Spanish harpsichordist’s playing as ‘exceptionally expressive, with a special feel for ornamentation’. Nuñez has added to the programme some works by Picchi’s contemporaries.

In the Hebrew tradition no difference exists between speaking and singing, as illustrated by the fact that the texts of the Talmud are also sung.

The Nederlands Kamerkoor, with the adventurous Brit-ish conductor Richard Egarr, presents a selection of these psalms.

This evening’s programme includes instrumental works, secular madrigals and large-scale psalm settings.

This day of commemoration of 500 years of the Venetian ghetto is rounded off with a special showing of the film Der Golem, wie er in die Welt kam (The Golem, how he came into the world) (1920) from directors Paul Wegener and Carl Boese. This expressionist film, one of the masterpieces of Weimar cinema, recounts the legend of the golem, a supernatural protector of the Jews in the Prague ghetto. The decors and costumes are spectacular, the acting technique is expressive and represents a more or less direct offshoot of the Baroque mime and gesture, but the ear is also not neglected: artist in residence Olga Pashchenko will accompany the film live on a historic piano.

Summer School: Alexander LingasVenice and the East

From the end of the Middle Ages the Venetian Republic grew rapidly to become a seafaring trading nation with unprecedented power. The Venetians were masters of the Mediterranean region, and in 1204 even conquered (and plundered) Constantinople. Of course there was also plenty of cultural interaction going on. Alexander Lingas, artistic director of Cappella Romana and a specialist in the field of Greco-Byzantine repertoire, talks about Venice and the East, and the musical exchanges between them.

Il Suonar Parlante / Vittorio GhielmiVenetian consort music

Vittorio Ghielmi and his gamba consort demonstrate that the viola da gamba remained popular in Venice throughout the entire 17th century. Ghielmi leads the listeners from Gabrieli and Negri, via intabulations for lute and harp based on extracts from Orfeo by Monteverdi (who was also a gambist himself), to Legrenzi’s influential volume La Cetra of 1673. Although the violin family was already popular by that time, a number of sonatas from this collection were definitely composed for gamba consort.

Luca GuglielmiCristofori’s fortepiano

Is it something in the air, or in the water? For whatever reason, the area around Venice has proved a fertile source of inspiration for revolutionary ideas. Around 1700 Bartolomeo Cristofori, born in neighbouring Padua, invented the fortepiano, the predeces-sor of our modern piano. Luca Gugliel-mi plays early sonatas by Platti, Galuppi and Luchesi on a copy of a Cristofori fortepiano built by Kerstin Schwarz.

Cantar Lontano / Marco MencoboniMonteverdi: Tancredi e Clorinda

A Venetian Festival would not be complete without this high point of Claudio Monteverdi’s oeuvre: his Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda from the Madrigali guerrieri et amorosi. Monteverdi effectively sets to music the fateful conflict between the two lovers Tancredi and Clorinda, which leads to a heart-breaking result. We can well imagine that this concert, with a top ensemble led by Marco Mencoboni, is one you won’t want to miss. So this evening we’re giving you another chance: at 22.30 Cantar Lontano are repeating the Combattimento!

Hespèrion XXILe Concert des NationsLa Capella Reial de Catalunya / Jordi Savall1000 years of Venice / 75 years of Jordi Savall

A genuine concert of celebration: this evening Jordi Savall marks his 75th birthday with a grandiose bird’s-eye view of 1,000 years of the Venetian Republic.

Starting with the Byzantine connections, the foundation of La Serenissima, via the Venetian School, the trade routes and the clashes with the Ottoman Empire, we then come to Vivaldi, then the Rus-sians, and finally the French, who put an end to the Republic. This will be a splen-did programme of the sort that Savall seems to have patented, in collaboration with musicians from various countries around the Mediterranean Sea.

Eduardo Egüez &Roberta MameliLute songs by Francesco Bosniaco

Lutenist Eduardi Egüez and soprano Roberta Mameli conclude this Festival day with an intimate concert based around the little-known 16th-century composer Francesco Bosniaco. Born in Bosnia, he lived in Venice, where he had two collections of lute songs published by Petrucci. As well as his compositions we will hear frottolas by other compos-ers, including Tromboncino, Cara and Pesenti.

Summer School: Francesco FannaDiscovering Vivaldi

We can hardly imagine it now, but Vivaldi’s music was forgotten for almost 200 years following his death in 1741. It is largely thanks to the efforts of Alfredo Casella and of Antonio Fanna, who founded the Istituto Italiano Antonio Vivaldi, that today his oeuvre belongs to the canon of Baroque music. Fanna’s son Francesco tells the story of this rediscovery of Vivaldi in the manner of a detective novel.

The unmistakable influence of Vivaldi on Bach may well have come about thanks to Utrecht! Bach’s patron in Weimar, Prince Johann Ernst, studied at the University of Utrecht between 1711 and 1713. He headed home bearing Italian music that had been printed in Amsterdam, and this could well have included the newest concertos by ‘the red priest’ from Venice. Shortly after this Bach would make keyboard ar-rangements of several Vivaldi concertos, some of which were certainly meant for organ. Organist Reitze Smits plays the Marcussen organ in the Nicolaïkerk.

Les Basses Réunies / Bruno CocsetVivaldi’s cello sonatas and concerti

Bruno Cocset, one of the finest Baro-que cellists of our day, plays Vivaldi. He has chosen not for the sonatas published in Paris in 1740, but for works that have been passed down in manus-cript form only. In these compositions Vivaldi confers a real starring role on the cello as a solo instrument. A cun-ning use of the different sound registers gives rise to an inner dialogue.

Cappella Pratensis / Stratton BullWillaert’s Flemish roots

As kapellmeister of St Mark’s, Adriaan Willaert was the founder of the ‘Venetian School’, to which the Gabrielis and Monteverdi are also deemed to have belonged. The Flemish composer, born in Rumbeke around 1490, was already a star before he had secured his appointment in Venice. The Dutch-Belgian Renaissance ensemble Cappella Pratensis follows the trail of Willaert’s early career by means of his motets and those of his predecessors Josquin and Mouton.

Ensemble Correspondances / Sébastien DaucéCharpentier in Italy

Venice as the Festival theme, and then music by Charpentier? Oh yes! Ensemble Correspondances, that has in recent years carried out pioneering research into Charpentier’s still largely unexplored oeuvre, follows the French composer on the Italian journey he un-

dertook between 1665–69. Not much is known about it. Charpentier visited Rome briefly, but was he also in Bologna or in Venice? What is certain is that he composed a four-choir mass, unique in French music, in which the Venetian influence is conspicuously resonant. On hypothetical grounds Sébastien Daucé presents this composition together with Charpentier’s possible examples, which include church music for multiple choirs by Francesco Beretta from Rome and Orazio Benevoli from Bologna.

But we guarantee that in the hands of Gunar Letzbor and his colleagues they will sound as they’ve never sounded before, and that this evening you will be poised on the edge of your seat.

Summer School: Micky WhiteMyths around Vivaldi’s La Pietà

What we know about Vivaldi’s Venetian life is for a large part thanks to Micky White, archivist at the Ospedale della Pietà, where Vivaldi worked off and on as a teacher between 1703 and 1740. He conducted the girls’ orchestra there, but La Pietà was definitely not a girls’ school, as is often thought. Micky White, who in 2013 published a book about all her investigative work, deals summarily with a number of myths surrounding La Pietà and sketches Vivaldi’s life in this famous institute.

Concerto Madrigalesco / Luca GuglielmiVivaldi’s Trio Sonatas

With his Trio Sonatas opus 1 the young Vivaldi was almost certainly follow-ing the example of Corelli’s opus 5. What is striking is that both volumes conclude with a series of variations on La Folia. But Vivaldi’s musical language extends much further due to his disarming audacity. These sonatas are a challenge for Concerto Madrigalesco under the direction of harpsichordist Luca Guglielmi.

Olga PashchenkoBach and Vivaldi

Johann Sebastian Bach was certainly not impervious to the musical fashions of his day. The virtuosic and colour-ful Italian style spread throughout Europe, and also left behind striking traces in Bach’s oeuvre. That Bach was acquainted with examples of this style is certain, because he himself arranged concertos by Vivaldi and Marcello for keyboard. Artist in residence Olga Pashchenko, with her rock-solid tech-nique and a musical heart as big as a house, plays this intriguing repertoire.

Cappella Romana / Alexander LingasA Venetian in Russia

The influence of the West on the music of the Russian Orthodox church reached a high point during the reign of Empress Catherine the Great, who appointed Italian, Roman Catholic opera composers to her court chapel. Baldassare Galuppi lived in St Peters-burg for three years, and composed both ceremonial court music and a cappella choral works in Church Sla-vonic, intended for Russian Orthodox worship.

Scorpio Collectief / Simen Van MechelenBaroque brass music

A cheerful Cantate Domino by Francesco Cavalli, three dramatic miniatures by Alessandro Grandi and work of Dario Castello, who directed the wind players of St Mark’s Basilica: this is Scorpio’s menu of the day. Castello’s sonatas, virtuosic and full of dramatic contrasts, represent the instrumental equivalent of the vocal seconda prattica. One gen-eration later, around 1640, expressivity reached a new high point in the work of Rigatti. Scorpio Collectief rounds off this programme with the Confitebor tibi Dominum from the Selva Morale of Monteverdi.

Malgosia FiebigVivaldi, Legrenzi and Bach on carillon

During this final concert of the Utrecht Early Music Carillon Festival 2016, city carillonneur Malgosia Fiebig plays trio sonatas by Legrenzi, works by Vivaldi and an arrangement by Bach.

Huelgas Ensemble / Paul Van NevelWillaert and De Rore

After 35 years as Kapellmeister of St Mark’s Basilica, Adriaen Willaert was succeeded by Cipriano de Rore. In memory of his deceased colleague, De Rore composed the moving humanistic motet Concordes adhibete animos. The new post did not suit him very well: after a year he had already left it. Nonetheless, the careers of the two Flemish masters do display similari-ties. For example, both liked to take compositions of Josquin as their model, and they were both standard bearers of the Italian madrigal. The Huelgas Ensemble, under the masterly Paul Van Nevel, examine the differences and similarities between the two composers as illustrated in their masses, madrigals and motets.

Le Banquet Céleste / Damien GuillonSolo motets by Vivaldi

For this programme the French coun-tertenor Damien Guillon has chosen Vivaldi’s finest solo motets. The most famous is undoubtedly his Stabat Mater. The key of F minor – in the Baroque era signifying mourning and grief – plus the repetition of musical phrases, lend it great poignancy. In Filiae Maestae Jerusalem the girls of the Ospedale della Pietà no doubt served as a metaphor for the weeping daughters of Jerusalem. The Nisi Dominus is an ambitious work, in terms of both form and content. The nine sections are very varied and rich in affects. Furthermore, Vivaldi makes use of the viola d’amore, an instrument of which he himself was a virtuosic player.

Le Concert Spirituel / Hervé NiquetVivaldi’s Gloria for female voices

In keeping with tradition the Early Music Festival concludes with a triumphant final concert. Who better suited for this than Hervé Niquet and his Concert Spirituel? They lead the audience one more time to the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice, where Vivaldi had about forty

girls at his disposal for the choir and orchestra. ‘They sing like angels and no instrument is big enough to scare them,’ wrote his contemporary Charles de Brosse. And Niquet’s choir consists entirely of ladies this evening. In this way he can reconstruct a unique sound in the original versions of famous works such as Vivaldi’s Gloria and Magnificat. Several grand psalm settings can also be heard – Lauda Jerusalem, In exitu Israel en Laetatus sum.

JEPHTHA

—Georg Friedrich Händel

9 t/m 27 november 2016—Concerto Köln—operaballet.nl

Holland Opera maakt al 10 jaar opera op bijzondere locaties: Orfeo Underground van Monteverdi in een parkeergarage en Blauwbaard van Chiel Meijering op Fort Rijnauwen, waar vorig jaar ook de wereldpremière van the Day After van Jonathan Dove werd gerealiseerd.

Dit jaar strijkt het gezelschap met Don Giovanni neer in de Werkspoorkathedraal in Utrecht: een gigantische ruimte in de sfeer van industriële vormgeving uit 1912. Een jonge cast van zangers en orkest spelen de voorstellingen van 16 augustus t/m 3 september.
