performance demonstrating
the unparalleled mystery and
emotional intensity of
Bach’s compositional
abilities, featuring
transcriptions of his works
originally for viola da
gamba and another for
violin, both with obbligato
(or fully written-out)
harpsichord in addition to
sonatas originally written
for flute by Bach both with
continuo (a bass line with
numbers denoting harmonies
from which the
harpsichordist improvises)
and with obbligato
harpsichord. Faythe Vollrath
will play variations for
solo harpsichord by Johann
Adam Reinken (1643-1722) on
the popular German folk tune
“Schweiget mir von
Weibernehmen” (‘shush, no
more talk about
womanizing”). Reinken was
greatly admired by Bach, who
made arrangements of several
of his works.

(dulcian)
Immaculate
Conception Catholic Parish and the
Salish Sea Early Music Festival with
support from the Vinson Fund 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.

Bach’s cantata Ich habe
genug and other works
The
church cantata Ich habe
genug ("I am content"), BWV
82 was composed in Leipzig
in 1727 for the feast
Purification of Mary and is
one of the most often
performed and recorded of
Bach's sacred cantatas. In
this cantata, based on the
Song of Simeon, Bach
projects a feeling of serene
contentedness with life and
an expression of the
experience of body and soul
coming to rest and in
complete harmony beyond
anything that words alone
can convey.
