Works for sackbut, violin & basso continuo in Venice of the early 17th century.
In this concert, you will discover the Trombone in the early period of baroque music: its sound, the works in which it played a leading role, and the ensembles in which it was encountered.
You will discover how the Baroque Violin differs in both appearance and sound quality from its contemporary counterpart.
You will discover the forms of “sinfonia,” “canzona,” and “sonata,” as they were understood in Venice in the early 17th century.
You will discover how the Theorbo – that plucked stirng instrument that dominated the 17th century – intertwines with the trombone and the violin, in works written by composers such as Uccelini, Castello, Marini and Cima.
You will discover works full of imagination, freedom, and modality.
