Les Délices: Age of Indulgence
These works revel in the decadence of the era while at the same time espousing Enlightenment values individuality, originality, and experimentation. This is music whose harmonic and technical virtuosity pushes boundaries and yields expressive extremes. Ohio premieres include two quartets from François-André Philidor's 1755 L'art de la modulation, selections from Antoine Dauvergne's Concerts de simphonies (1751), and Jean-Joseph Cassanea de Mondonville's Op. 3 no. 1 sonata (1749). Rameau's beloved Pièces de Clavecin en concert no. 3 completes the program.
Pre-concert lectures will highlight the significance of these works within their composers' social and cultural milieu.
Pre-concert lecture by Susan McClary precedes the concert at 3:30pm.
Featuring:
Scott Metcalfe & Julie Andrijkeski, baroque violin
Debra Nagy, baroque oboe
Emily Walhout, viola da gamba
