A Musical Portrait of the Venetian Courtesan
The courtesan in Renaissance Venice held a unique social position. Despite a life filled with hardship and danger, she was able to circumvent many of the patriarchal restrictions on women making music; a study of courtesan's music is therefore a tantalizing window upon the sound world of domestic life in Renaissance Venice. This concert will explore this world, from the performance of "high art" madrigals by Barbara Strozzi and San Marco maestri Willeart and Rore, to "bawdy" Carnival songs in dialetto. We will also attempt to recreate the lost art of the aria as practiced by the Renaissance improvisatori: the performance of poetic stanzas to common song formulae. Rounding out the program would be instrumental dance music, creating a fun and festive atmosphere, with moments of tragedy and pathos interspersed.
