WINDS DAYS CONCERT: RENAISSANCE DAY
1550: WINDS CONSORTS MEET IN PORTUGAL
The monastery of Coimbra, a mecca for Portuguese music life and creation in the 16th and 17th centuries, offers a rich repertoire that lends itself particularly well to the practice of various kinds of consorts, and in particular wind consorts. Recorders, crumhorns, cornetts, dulzians and hornpipe are all instruments of contrasting timbres that join and alternate to support and accompany the voices. This concert will take you behind the scenes of the monastery to discover the creation of a particular texture of a musical work, that is the architecture through which the emotions of our predecessors can unfold and reach us.
