ITALIAN RENAISSANCE CANZONAS
at
the Westacres Music Room
23575
- 124 Avenue in Maple Ridge
Vicki
Boeckman ~ renaissance recorders
Jeffrey
Cohan ~ renaissance flute
Stephen
Creswell ~ viola
Anna
Marsh ~ renaissance bassoon (dulcian)
The
Westacres Music Room 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
1600’s and was inspired by French and Flemish
chansons of the early 1500’s. 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.

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."

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.
