This finally originates from the music-making of shepherds - coming from the Abruzzi and from Calabria to Rome at Christmas to play the shawm and the bagpipes in front of the cribs.

The Library Of Baroque Music is an enormously expansive collection of the greatest works produced during that prolific period that flourished between the Renaissance and Classical eras.

The retrospective 'Baroque' label was applied to a diverse rangeof European compositions—often combining a spirit of experimentation with elaborate new musical structures. Dominated primarily by the Harpsichord and Organ this period also saw the rise and development of larger-scale forms suchas the concerto and oratorio.  This superb volume is comprised of Keyboard and ensemble works from all the major Baroque composers arranged for Piano. Featuring Arne Boyce Buxtehude Corelli Couperin Gibbons Lully Pachelbel Purcell Rameau and Vivaldi the composers here include some of the most respected and revered figures in musical history. The Library Of Baroque Music spans compositionsof many of these masters ranging from Frescobaldi in the early 1600s to Pergolesi a century later and the famous three - J.S. Bach Handel and Domenico Scarlatti. Baroque music socalled for its ornateness was characterised by a bold exploration of counterpoint and new harmonic possibilities. This was variously expressed through the work of perhaps fifty or so major European composers. By the timeBaroque began to segue into a new Classical period around 1750 it had already irrevocably changed and expanded the possibilities of music. The works that precipitated this change are available to play in this

Par FRANCOEUR FRANCOIS. Compositeur et violoniste virtuose, François Francœur reste relativement méconnu, alors qu'il côtoya les plus grands, à Versailles et à l'Académie royale de Musique. Il composa nombre de pièces instrumentales et lyriques qui rencontrèrent un vif succès en leur temps. François Francœur signe ce premier livre de sonates pour violon et basse en 1720. La structure de ses sonates, très équilibrée, comprend 4 à 5,5 mouvements, où se succèdent mouvements italiens (adagio, allegro) et danses françaises (allemande, sarabande, courante, gavotte...). Francœur y développe un style composite et très personnel, où se mêlent influences françaises et italiennes, notamment par les mélismes, coloratures et fioritures, très inspirés de Corelli. Les bariolages, très italiens, côtoient les agréments et les notes inégales à la française. Ces sonates nous interpellent par leur raffinement, leur élégance, leur sobriété. Le style, gracieux et fluide, où se mêlent tendresse et poésie, nous offre des lignes mélodiques expressives et sensibles. La musique y est profonde, ne cédant jamais à un excès de virtuosité. La première et la seconde partie du livre II (12 sonates) sont aussi disponibles. / Date parution : 2016-01-22/ Répertoire / Violon et Basse Continue
