MARIN BAROQUE presents Birds of Paradise, Exotic Music of the Old & New Worlds, Berkeley, CA, 3/29/15
Marin Baroque Chamber Choir and period instrument Orchestra with renowned early brass ensemble The Whole Noyse and Music Director, Daniel Canosa, will venture into the enchanting Baroque music of Latin America and the rhythmically exuberant music of the Old World with Birds of Paradise, Exotic Music of the Old & New Worlds.
We include Rameau's suite from Les Indes Galantes; Le Chant des Oiseaux full of bird song by Clement Janequin; an ensalada, San Sabeya Gugurumbe, with a mixture of Castilian, Catalan, Portuguese, and African vernacular by Mateo Flecha; the plaintive Con Que La Lavare by Juan Vasquez, a popular poem and song in 16th century Spain and a beautiful example of a villancico as well as amazing music from the Latin American Missions. The composers who went to the Missions very much appreciated the music of the indigenous peoples and added elements of it to their works.
The Marin Baroque period instrument Orchestra features the vihuela, baroque guitar, and percussion.
We are joined by The Whole Noyse celebrating its 30th year as one of the country's leading early brass ensembles. Specializing in performance of Renaissance and early Baroque music, The Whole Noyse focuses on the combination of cornett, sackbuts and curtal, instruments that made up the primary professional wind group of the 16th and 17th centuries. In keeping with the versatility expected of wind players of the period, the ensemble also doubles on recorders and often mixes in the sounds of shawm, slide trumpet, gittern, violin, and viola.
A reception for all follows the concert.
