Klassiskt kafé - Arie Antiche

Lördag 13 November kl 14:00

Klassiskt kafé med ett urval sånger ur samlingarna Arie Antiche utgivna av tonsättaren och förläggaren Alessandro Parisotti. Musik av G Caccini, G Paisiello, A Scarlatti, G F Händel m.fl.
I slutet av 1800-talet var intresset stort för att återupptäcka barockmusik och ännu äldre musik. Parisotti letade upp gamla notmanuskript och arrangerade sångerna för soloröst och piano. Han romantiserade gärna ackompanjemanget vad gäller harmonik och även melodi men utgåvan blev populär och går fortfarande att köpa genom förlaget Ricordi. Många nutida sångare, t.ex Cecilia Bartoli, har Arie Antiche på sin repertoar.
 
Under klassiskt kafé på Baggen har vi servering vid småbord i konsertrummet, programtid ca 50 min utan paus.
Ann-Christin Edblad - sång
Göran Rullander - piano 
Entré: 140 kr 
Endast förköp! 
Efter kl.12.00 på konsertdagen stängs biljettförsäljningen.

Though also a composer, Alessandro Parisotti (1853-1913) is better known today as the original editor of a collection of songs known as Arie antiche (Arie antiche: ad una voce per canto e pianoforte, Milan, 1885–1888). The original collection comprises three volumes of songs or arias published as a primer to study classical singing, but the three volumes have since been reduced to single-volumed extracts known as the 24 Italian Songs and Arias.
The original Arie Antiche are still available through Ricordi, Schirmer, and Kalmus.

Parisotti collected these antique arias (arie antiche is the Italian) in what was the 19th century vogue for discovering forgotten old or antique music from the classical and baroque eras.
The most famous example of this practice of reclaiming forgotten music is Mendelssohn's revival of Bach's St. Matthew Passion in Berlin (1829). The taste for rediscovered music was de rigueur among musicians and audiences of the nineteenth century, with composers lesser than Mendelssohn and Brahms participating as well.
Parisotti found forgotten scores and arranged their arias (or duets) for solo singer and piano accompaniment. Parisotti romanticized the pieces by altering word placement, chordal structure and/or adding ornamentation to the vocal line. Others also did this type of editing, including the publications done by Oliver Ditson. These arrangements are still favorites for recital programming today.

Notable students include pianist and composer Lucia Contini Anselmi.

In his collection, Parisotti attributed the song "Se tu m'ami" to Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, but owing to the fact that no early manuscripts of this song have been located, scholars now believe that Parisotti composed the piece himself. The text for the song was taken from a collection called "Di canzonette e di cantate librue due" by Paolo Rolli, published in London in 1727.
