In 1700, superstar violinist Arcangelo Corelli published twelve violin sonatas that sparked “Corelli-Mania” all over Europe. In Louis XIV’s France, though, the craze for passionate Italian-style music had to stay under the radar. Les Délices explores the vogue for all things Italian with dazzling, new-to-you music featuring Cleveland’s favorite violinist, Julie Andrijeski.

Les Délices performs Myths & Allegories presented by Houston Early Music.
Rising-star soprano Clara Rottsolk is featured in this program, which was released as Les Délices’ second CD recording in November 2012. Myths & Allegories weaves dramatic depictions of tales from Homer’s Odyssey together with instrumental chamber music inspired by Greek mythology, and features cantatas by Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre (Le Sommeil d’Ulisse) and Thomas-Louis Bourgeois (Les Sirènes). The hero Ulysses confronts storms at sea, shipwrecks, the tantalizing allure of siren songs, and encounters with the Cyclopes – all set to music – in the course of this colorful, fantastic program. Even Ulysses’ long-faithful wife pines from afar as symbolized by Jean-Féry Rebel’s violin sonata La Fidelle.

SIX SINGERS, TWO ACTORS, AND TEN INSTRUMENTALISTS
Nicandro and Fileno, both stricken in years and seeking a last chance at happiness, propose that each marries the other’s daughter; that Nicandro’s daughter Filli marry Fileno, and Fileno’s daughter Clori marry Nicandro. The girls, however, make several excuses to refuse their fathers’ wishes, for both are in love with Lidio, a fickle and frivolous lover who chases after all the shepherdesses. Eurillo, on the other hand, is dying of love for Filli. She rejects his advances, preferring Lidio. Eurillo swears revenge against the man who has robbed him of his love. After the usual mix-ups, Nicandro and Fileno finally realize that their plan was just a fantasy and they will have to settle for the lot imposed by advanced age.
Francis Colpron will play Italian works from the 17th and 18th centuries for this recital. Instrumental virtuosity, which became exuberant in the Baroque era, was never gratuitous but rather served to express emotion. Such virtuosity developed at the dawn of the 17th century, first among violinists, but soon spread to highlight the distinctive characteristics of wind instruments. In this concert, Francis Colpron will play both recorder and traverso, accompanied by Mélisande Corriveau on cello and Mark Edwards on harpsichord.
Friedrich Hartmann Graf (1727-1795), a composer and virtuoso flutist, worked in Augsburg, London, and The Hague; he also toured throughout Europe. His concertos and his remarkable chamber music are every bit as good as those of his contemporary Haydn…

Musical dynasties were numerous during the Baroque era. In France, the dynasty founded by Danican-Philidor, himself the descendant of a family that originated in Scotland, lasted more than 150 years. Most of its members played wind instruments for various royal ensembles, several contributed to improvements in flute- and oboe-making, and some were remarkable composers.
