Millennium of Music
December 2006 Schedule
NOTE: To stations down the line--Program 06-50 is a special interview with Sting (and his Swiss-trained lutenist Edin Karamazov) about his new project dedicated to music of John Dowland, Songs from the Labyrinth. There is a special bonus track that features a pitch with Sting and host Robert Aubry Davis directing listeners to call in with their support of this kind of special programming. Stations are encouraged to use this very popular disc in fundraisers (the track could be played after each of the three sections of the program).
(These two programs have been reversed from their original order):
#06-48: 11/20/06 --Monteverdi and Stephan MacLeod--Born in Geneva, Stephan MacLeod studied in Lausanne--in a recent recording he joined the brilliant Maria Cristina Kiehr and Concerto Soave in some of the delightful little musical "Scherzi musicali" of Claudio Monteverdi.
#06-49: 11/27/06 --Kapsberger and Hopkinson Smith--This season, our series from Switzerland will look at Swiss performers and their influence--this week, one of the brightest pupils of the legendary Swiss lutenist Eugen Dombois,
Hopkinson Smith.
#06-50: 12/04/06-- Sting: Songs from the Labyrinth--Rapidly becoming one of the best-selling early music albums in history, Sting's new project is a four century bridge between like-minded musical spirits. In a far-reaching interview, Sting describes his approach to this music and his collaboration with lute virtuoso Edin Karamazov, a student of Hopkinson Smith at the Schola Cantorum in Basel.
#06-51: 12/11/06 --Palestrina--Missa in duplicibus--In 1950, the stunning discovery of a group of masses by Palestrina based on plainchant gave us a unique insight into the relationship between composers and court chapels. Happily, medieval musical great Dominique Vellard turned to this repertoire with ensembles from the Schola Cantorum in Basel--we'll hear the complete mass as well as some motets from that project.
#06-52: 12/18/06----A Medieval Christmas--Our friends The Orlando Consort have a beautiful project for Christmas 2006--we'll talk with founding member Donald Greig about the evolution of this repertoire from the earliest multi-voice writing, through the medieval carol, and into the great era of Franco-Flemish polyphony.
#07-01: 12/25/06 --The Holland Festival of Early Music at Utrecht--25 Years On--We begin our series looking not only at the 2006 Festival but celebrating the core theme--the Italian seicento, the 1600s. As you will hear in this series, a new clarity and urgency enters the musical repertoire, as what we call the baroque era (and opera!) were invented.
