Le Mai Musical de Meursault - le Duo Coloquintes en Concert - "Music for two : Une Viole et un Violon Dans l'Angleterre du 17e Siècle"
- On 4 may 2024
- Eglise de Saint-Romain, Rue du Prieuré
- The Duo Coloquintes draws on the virtuoso repertoire of the English virginalists, offering previously unpublished transcriptions of this repertoire originally written for keyboard. Alice Julien-Laferrière, violin, and Mathilde Vialle, viola da gamba, will introduce you to this 17th-century English baroque music in the magnificent church of Saint-Romain-le-Haut. - Almost all the works chosen are taken from a compilation, the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book. This book, kept at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, contains almost three hundred pieces of music written by different composers to be played on a virginal at the Elizabethan Court and later at the House of Stuart. The diversity and quality of the works inspired the duo to transcribe them and discover new colours. - The works follow each other in a thoughtful alternation of proud moments, often very danceable or gentle, even quite caressing. Alongside pieces from the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, we will hear the Captaine Humes Lamentations by violist Tobias Hume and variations on John come kisse me now Thomas Baltzar, taken from Playford's famous collections.
