Our exploration of FOLK SONG FROM THREE CENTURIES continues with a completely new and innovative program further traversing unexplored territory in the realm of folk-inspired art music from the Renaissance, Baroque and Romantic periods, performed on plucked instruments and transverse flutes from three centuries, and highlighting collaboration between prominent musicians of these periods.
Flutist Jacob Van Eyck and lutenist Nicolas Vallet and their colleagues played often with one another around 1620 (please see the painting above from that year by T. Rombouts) and did not necessarily compose their settings of psalms and other popular melodies to be played unaccompanied. We juxtapose these settings and variations in a way that sheds light on the nature of these get-togethers and the basic context and character of this extensive repertoire.
Oleg's rare but once extremely popular wire-strung English Guitar made in London in 1761, which acquired popularity in countries outside of England also, will be heard with baroque flute performing the folk tunes of Scotland and Ireland as interpreted and varied by the early 18th-century composers Francesco Barsanti and Turlough O'Carolan, in addition to a new selection of the charming flower-inspired and Scottish folk-infused arias from "Airs for the Four Seasons" by Scotsman James Oswald.
Finally, an Eastern European 7-string guitar made in 1820 in Russia alongside an eight-keyed flute made in London in the same year bring to life variations from about 1825 on popular opera tunes by virtuoso guitarist Louis-Ange Carpentras in collaboration with virtuoso flutist Benoit Tranquille Berbiguer, as well as a second collaboration based on a popular opera tune between guitarist Ferdinando Carulli and flutist Jean-Louis Tulou. All four of these musicians are familiar to flutists and guitarists today.
As you can imagine we're excited about this material, we have much more exploring to do and we hope you'll join us!
With many thanks to St. Paul's Episcopal Church for enabling our sharing of this music with you. (above: from Jeffrey & Oleg's tour of 6 cities in Ukraine, and "The Concert" (1620) by Theodoor Rombouts).
