No flash photography, videotaping or recording without express permission from the performers.Music's ability to influence our feelings, thoughts, and actions is acknowledged by all, and its power has been experienced in as many ways as there have been composers, performers, and listeners. Handel in his cantata finds in music the reflection of a divine order—of Musick's force the wonders show, the most of Heav'n we here can know. Rameau revisits ancient myth of Orpheus, whose singing could even overcome the forces of death. Orpheus was moved by a force that has also been considered divine, that is, love; love and music have been linked in song since time immemorial. (As Berlioz put it, they are "the two wings of the soul.") It was in the 17th and 18th centuries that instrumental music developed beyond the dance floor to rival the power of song. J.S. Bach often used popular dance figuration in his ostensibly “religious” pieces in order to make the attributes of the divine presence immediate. In its sacred and secular, vocal and instrumental, sung and danced splendor, our program celebrates music's power to communicate thoughts and feelings from soul to soul. *** The trio sonatas, Op. 5 by George Frideric Handel were published by John Walsh in London in 1739. Almost all of the music in this opus was originally written or arranged by Handel for works staged in London after his arrival there, including the delightful Overture from #4 of the set. An example of Handel's "streamlined" overture style, it captures the outlines of the French overture as established by Lully (stately first section marked by dotted rhythms, followed by a quick, contrapuntal section), but presents it with less complex ornamentation and a much simpler contrapuntal approach than Lully would have used. The origin of Look Down, Harmonious Saint is somewhat cloudy--some think that it was intended (but not used) as part of an ode to St. Ceclia (patron saint of music) contained within the oratorio Alexander's Feast, premiered in February, 1736. A version of this piece was included in an Italian cantata that Handel presented in the same month. Whatever its origin, the work stands on its own and should be better known than it is. What we now call the “First Book of Paris Quartets” by Georg Phillip Telemann was first published in Hamburg in 1730 as a set of six Quadri, made up of two Sonatas, two Concerti and two Suites. Telemann did reissue them in Paris in 1736, as the elegant mixture of French, Italian and even Polish styles clearly caught the Parisian taste. Their success prompted Telemann to write his “Second Book of Paris Quartets” (Nouveaux Quatuors en Six Suites) that was performed by the leading professional musicians in Paris to great acclaim. The Sonata Prima is the most Italianate of the "First Book" and is dominated by the traditional polyphony of the sonata da chiesa codified by Arcangelo Corelli, with the addition of some French galanteries. While the Paris Quartets are among the most beloved chamber works of the 18th century, the Concerto a Quattro is much less familiar, and was in fact attributed to Handel until recently. It is nevertheless an extremely attractive, dramatic piece. Whereas in the Sonata the three solo parts have very similar material that is tossed back and forth in a genial, conversational manner, in the Concerto the recorder (in the first movement) and the viola da gamba (in the third) take leading roles. Jean-Philippe Rameau is now regarded as one of the giants of 18th century music, particularly as a composer of opera and virtuoso keyboard music. Not as well known today are his often superb efforts in "lesser" vocal genres. As defined in La Grande Encyclopédie (1751-1752), the (French) cantata is "a short poem written to be set to music, recounting a tale of love or heroism; it comprises a récit which states the subject, an air en rondeau, a second récit, and a final air which contains the moral point of the work." The narrator/vocalist probes the hearts of several different characters, without the aid of staging; the setting is almost always mythological. Written some time between 1715 and 1720 during his years as organist at Claremont, the witty and refined Orphée is typical in its subject matter. Rameau here brings French and Italian musical techniques together effortlessly. Notable is the elaborate middle section, where he expands the Encyclopédie's single récit into an expansive récit-air-récit including an especially energetic obbligato line for the viola da gamba. Rameau's Pièces de Clavecin en Concert, published in 1741, is his last major keyboard work. It was inspired by Mondonville's Pièces de clavecin en sonates, op. 3 of 1731- solo keyboard music "enhanced" by a single violin part. Rameau stretches Mondonville's model considerably--the harpsichord part here contains some of the most idiomatic virtuoso keyboard writing of any Baroque composer, and there are two additional "enhancing" lines. The complete title of Rameau's set, Pièces de clavecin en concerts, avec un violin ou une flute, et une viole ou un deuxième violon, suggests a variety of instrumentation, depending on the availability of forces. In his preface to the work the composer suggests that the pieces "lose nothing by being played on the harpsichord alone." This was Rameau's marketing ploy--the full version is one of the glories of 18th century chamber music. The top line is a straightforward melodic line that could be played by any competent amateur violinist or flutist. However, the bottom line contains some of the most heroically difficult music ever written for the viola da gamba. La la Poplinière was named for J.-J. La Riche de la Poplinière, a tax farmer and one of the richest men in France. Rameau was personally close to him and his wife: he was their house music director for almost 20 years. The enchanting La Timide contains some of the lushest harmonies in all of Rameau's oeuvre. As was the Handel overture that started our program, the first of the Tambourins was originally used in works for the stage--here, two different operas: Hyppolite et Aricie and Dardanus. The dance title refers not to what we know as the tambourine, but rather to a large drum used in Provençal folk music.
Le Rossignol en Amour (“The Nightingale in Love”) is taken from François Couperin's XIV ordre of harpsichord pieces. It works
particularly well on the flute or recorder, as Couperin wrote in a footnote to the published version of the piece, which gives us
insight into his approach to musical interpretation:
It is not necessary to adhere too precisely to the beat in the Double above; one must sacrifice everything to
appropriate expression, to the clean execution of the passagework, and to softening the accents marked by the
mordents. This “Rossignol” can be performed with the greatest possible success on the flute, when it is well
played.
Michel Lambert is probably the least known today of all the composers on our program, although he was called "the Amphion
of our days" and "the greatest master to have appeared in centuries" by two of his notable contemporaries and was revered as
a composer, performer, and teacher of singing. He even appeared as a dancer in performances at the court of the young Louis
XIV. His biggest contribution may have been as a composer of elegant and graceful airs such as Vos mépris chaque jour, with
their very careful attention to declamation, which were a major influence on Lully (Lambert's son-in-law) and thereby set the
tone for French vocal music for the next 200 years.
Ich traue seine Gnaden, is a broad Allemande and is the most ambitious and far-reaching of all of the violin obbligati in the
cantatas of J.S. Bach. Although the cantata has an autograph date of 1734, the virtuoso violin writing is more characteristic of
the solo violin partitas and sonatas written in Cöthen in the early 1720's. Here the violin portrays a state of God's grace and
mercy, upon which the tenor comments. Bewundert, o Menschen, dies große Geheimnis has the uncanny effect of indicating
both the grandeur of Christ’s coming and the humility of his human roots, primarily expressed through the lively and joyful
Passepied that grounds the aria.
Look Down, Harmonious Saint
Recitative
Look down, harmonious Saint,
whilst we do celebrate thy art and thee!

the most of Heav'n we here can know.
Aria
Sweet accents all your numbers grace,
touch ev'ry trembling string;
each note in justest order place
of Harmony we'll sing.
It charms the soul, delights the ear,
to it all passions bow,
it gives us hope, it conquers fear,
and rules we know not how.
