As the most celebrated composer in
all of Europe for much of his
career, Franz Joseph Haydn
(1732-1809) was Mozart’s mentor
and friend as well as Beethoven’s
tutor. The program will include
three trios for flute, violin and
cello by Haydn, selections from a
1795 arrangement for these
instruments of Mozart’s opera “The
Magic Flute”, and a trio by Franz
Anton Hoffmeister, a friend of
Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven who
published music by all three.

Join
us for the opening 2024 Salish Sea Early
Music Festival and an unusual and
expansive journey through the music for
guitar, lute and flute of the 16th, 17th
and 18th centuries, including elaborate
jazzed-up versions of well known songs
of the time, published by the incredible
wind instrument virtuosi of the late
16th century, along with canzonas,
sonatas and suites from Spain, Italy,
England and France. The instruments
include the renaissance guitar, which is
considerably smaller and more
mellow-toned than its modern descendant,
theorbo (an extremely long-necked lute),
the one-piece cylindrical renaissance
flute along with the bass renaissance
flute, and the one-keyed baroque flute.

Concerto

Sonata
II in G Minor
Nouveaux
quatuors en six suites (1738):
Premier
Quatuor in D Major 4e.
Quatuor in B Minor
Having been invited by several
of the most prominent French
musicians to visit Paris,
Telemann composed and published
the first set of his remarkable
"Paris Quartets" in 1730, and
left Hamburg for Paris seven
years later, where all 12 of the
quartets were performed, almost
surely with Teleman himself on
the harpsichord. The second set
of quartets was published in
Paris during this visit in 1738.
Two years later Telemann related
the following:
"The admirable performances of
these quartets by Messrs Blavet
(transverse flute), Guignon
(violin), the younger Forcroy
[i.e. Forqueray] (viola da
gamba) and Edouard (cello) would
be worth describing were it
possible for words to be found
to do them justice. In short,
they won the attention of the
ears of the court and the town,
and procured for me in a very
little time an almost universal
renown and increased esteem."

11 by Giovanni Bassano (1585)
