Pre-concert talk at 7:10 pm. \nRaquel Andueza and La Galanía SPAIN\nOne of Spain’s leading early music ensembles\, Raquel Andueza and La Galanía have appeared to great acclaim across Europe. The folk-inspired songs of Spain are contrasted with the emerging Baroque Italian music of Merula\, Monteverdi\, Barbara Strozzi and others. \na gem…a major musical event.

Capellini (fl. 1641 – 1660) \nPROGRAMME NOTES \n“Locura & Tormenti”\, madness and torments: they usually go together when concerning love. We wanted to bring together these two visceral feelings in a program\, which consists of two very different sections. \nIn the first part\, we will perform Spanish music\, but also scores with text in Castilian that have been found in 17th century French\, English\, and Italian collections: songs about love and disaffection\, hope and abandonment. \nLikewise\, we bring some new music to light\, created upon the harmonic and rhetorical parameters of two very famous dances of the Spanish baroque: the Zarabande and the Jácara. The Zarabande was already forbidden in 1583 because it was considered an obscene and disgraceful dance\, but composers and the greatest men of letters (Cervantes\, Góngora\, Lope de Vega\, etc) continued making use of it and the Zarabanda was hugely popular until the end of the 17th century. All the written music was lost (or destroyed)\, but not its texts. The Spanish musicologist Álvaro Torrente\, one of the greatest specialists of the Spanish 17th century and also expert in literature and rhetoric of that period\, has reconstructed for La Galanía one zarabanda of anonymous text\, and one jácara with a text by Francisco de Quevedo. In both cases\, it can be considered as a reliable and traditional sample of how these dances used to be. In this zarabanda we present a rascal who describes\, without a hint of shyness\, why he loves all kinds\, types\, and social position of women; and in the case of the jácara\, our protagonist\, another rogue of the period\, writes a letter to his lover from a Sevillian prison\, and he narrates all of his adventures and misfortunes being locked there. \nIn the second half of the concert\, we will move to 17th century Italy\, guided by the main composers of the period: Monteverdi\, Strozzi\, Merula. We show different styles of compositions of the Seicento: strophic songs\, like “Folle è ben” and “Bella mia”\, melodical constructions upon ground basses\, bassi ostinati\, that is to say\, upon the repetition of the same harmonic pattern\, as in the passacaglia “L’Eraclito amoroso” or the ciaccona in “Sdegno campione audace”. We will also bring danses of Neapolitan origin\, as the tarantella\, in “Chi vuol ch’il cuor gioisca”. \nAll these love songs alternate with Spanish and Italian traditional dances (folía\, canarios and ciaccona)\, as well as with a wonderful toccata arpeggiata from the theorbo player and composer Giovanni Girolamo Kapsberger. \nIn conclusion\, it is a program from that wonderful century called degli affetti\, or “of affections”\, to love\, dream\, cry\, and\, above all\, feel. We really hope you will enjoy it as much as we do performing it on stage. Please\, make yourself comfortable. Thank you very much\nfor coming. \n– Raquel Andueza \nTHE ARTISTS \nEnsemble La Galanía \nFormed by Raquel Andueza and Jesús Fernández Baena in 2010\, La Galanía quickly established itself as one of the most important groups of the Spanish\nmusic scene. \nThe ensemble specializes in Baroque music from the 17th and 18th century. Its performances are always based on meticulous historical research and performed by accomplished Spanish and foreign musicians\, experts in this repertoire. \nAll the members of the group are also active with other internationally-recognised orchestras and prestigious groups such as Hespèrion XXI\, Al Ayre Español\, L’Arpeggiata\, Orquesta Barroca de Sevilla\, Private Musicke\, and the Orchestra of the Age of the Enlightenment. The core of the group is soprano Raquel Andueza\, regularly invited to perform at prestigious international festivals. \nLa Galanía made its very successful debut at Pamplona Cathedral with Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater.

Since its release\, the album has been enjoying great success\, being unanimously conferred the Festclásica award by the Spanish Association of Classical Music Festivals in 2011. In July 2013 the group released Alma Mia\, a compilation of the most beautiful opera arias and cantatas by Antonio Cesti\, which is also receiving enthusiastic reviews and accolades from the press followed by Pegaso in 2014. Yo soy la locura 2 appeared in 2015. \nwww.lagalania.com \nRaquel Andueza \nBorn in Pamplona\, Raquel Andueza began her musical training at the age of six.
