Salish Sea Early Music Festival in Spokane ~
Period Instrument chamber music from six centuries
in Spokane and around the Salish Sea ~
The
Cathedral of Our Lady of Lourdes and the Salish Sea
Early Music Festival present Renaissance Italian
Canzonas with four specialists performing on
instruments of the renaissance including Vicki
Boeckman on renaissance recorders, Jeffrey Cohan on
renaissance transverse flute, Stephen Creswell on
viola and Anna Marsh on dulcian, or renaissance
bassoon.
The concert will provide an in-depth exploration of
the Italian four-part canzona which blossomed in
print from 1582 through the early decades of the
1600s and was inspired by French and Flemish
chansons of the early 1500s. It will trace the
development of the canzona from 1529, when
commercial music printing was just beginning in
Europe, through 1636 at which point more modern
stylistic forms such as the sonata began to take the
place of the canzona, which had bridged the musical
styles of the Renaissance and the Baroque. Canzonas
by Andrea and Giovanni Cima, Giacomo Biumi, Floriano
Canale, Giovanni Buonamente, Florentino Maschera,
and others are to be included in the program along
with instrumentl renditions of the earlier French
and Flemish songs that inspired them. All will be
performed on the recorder, transverse flute, viola
and renaissance bassoon or dulcian of the 16th
century which create a beautiful blend and provide a
distinct character to each of the four intertwining
musical lines.
The Salish Sea Early Music Festival presents early
chamber music from the 16th through the 19th
centuries on period instruments all around the Puget
Sound and in Eastern Washington, and is a 501(c)3
non-profit organization, and an affiliate
organization of Early Music America. SSEMF has
presented countless performances in modern times of
little-known early chamber music on period
instruments.
A second program in 2024 to be offered by the
Salish Sea Early Music Festival
in
conjunction with Immaculate Conception Catholic
Parish features
special
guest Spanish harpsichord virtuoso Irene Roldan
from Basel, Switzerland.
