TREBLE VIOL, BAROQUE GUITAR & FLUTE
Annalisa Pappano (Cincinnati) ~ treble viol
Michael Freimuth (Kiel, Germany) ~ baroque guitar
Jeffrey Cohan ~ renaissance & baroque flutes
The
treble viol was widely used during the 17th and early 18th centuries
but is seldom to be heard today, particularly in combination with
renaissance transverse flute. Our opening performance features Annalisa
Pappano from Cincinnati, one of the world's foremost players of treble
viol, who also plays the pardessus de viole, lirone and viola da gamba
and directs the Catacoustic Consort, and Michael Freimuth from Kiel
Germany, one of Europe's most active performers on baroque guitar and
theorbo. This exploration of mostly French and Italian repertoire for
treble viol, baroque guitar and flute from about 1625 to 1725 will
present solos, duos and trios by Buonamente, Sweelinck, Heudelinne,
Lully, De Visee and Cheron.

An in-depth exploration of the rarely-heard Italian four-part canzona, inspired by four-part
French and Flemish chansons, which blossomed in print from 1582 to 1628 concurrently with increasing
activity among violin makers and players in Milan, Brescia and Cremona, and with the emerging "baroque" style.
