Here are some background notes regarding LIM Antiqua: …
(CA) Early Music Fredericton Concert: "The Couperin Dynasty" (6 may 2012)
(UK) Dunedin Consort & Players Concerts: Brandenburg - Cantata Series (4,6 may 2012)
(From the latest Dunedin Consort & Players newsletter)
Locations:
Concert Hall, Perth UK (04 may 2012)
Queen’s Hall, Edinburgh UK (06 may 2012)
Dunedin's final season concerts complete the Brandenburgs set with the impossibly virtuosic Brandenburg concerto number 2 for Trumpet, Violin, Oboe and Recorder. Bach's Cantata BWV 174 is one of those gems that show how Bach re-invented his own music, in this occasion his Brandenburg concerto no 3.
(DE) La Riverenza Dance Workshop: "Dances from Purcell's Fairy Queen" (17-20 may 2012)
Location: Dortmund, Germany
“In 1692, Henry Purcell's semi-opera "The Fairy Queen" was premiered. Henry Purcell used Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream as a template for the Baroque opera. Philippa Waite has choreographed several songs from the "Fairy Queen" into dances that are taught in this workshop.
Experience in Baroque dance is required for this course.”
(US) Unquiet Thoughts Blog: "Saturday morning quote #49: Count Bardi"
(From a recent Unquiet Thoughts blog post)
“… This morning, we dip into the writings presumably authored by Giovanni de' Bardi, Count of Vernio (1534 – 1612), from his correspondence with Giulio Caccini (1551 – 1618). Bardi is credited by posterity as a cheerleader for the simpler, more dramatic and expressive monody that led to what we have come to know as Baroque music, in opposition to the headier polyphony that characterized much music from the 16th century. …”
