La Capella Reial de Catalunya and Hespèrion XXI
The Tears and the Fire of the Muses
John Dowland, Anthony Holborne, Samuel Scheidt, Jacomo de Gorzanis
Traquen’Art is pleased to welcome Jordi Savall – Claudio Monteverdi Revolution, The Tears and the Fire of the Muses, for his North American premiere with two performances in Quebec.
Quebec audiences love gambist Jordi Savall for his inexhaustible curiosity, his exceptional musicality and his unique talent for connecting people, places and eras through a compelling repertoire.
In this program, the multi-talented maestro and virtuoso of the viola explores the influence of Claudio Monteverdi – a visionary composer, opera pioneer, and brilliant music theorist – through his sacred and secular works, as well as those of John Dowland, Anthony Holborne, Samuel Scheidt and Jacomo de Garzanis.
This season also marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of Savall’s prestigious early music ensemble, Hespèrion XXI, which is joined here by the sublime voices of La Capella Reial de Catalunya.
Programme
Works by Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643), John Dowland (1563-1626), Anthony Holborne (1545-1602), Samuel Scheidt (1587-1654) and Jacomo de Garzanis (ca. 1520-1575/1579).
