Program Notes Oct 5, 2022
Born into a wealthy family, Arcangelo Corelli (1653-1713) had much success throughout Europe as a well respected violinist and popular composer. Called “The founder of modern violin technique”, his violin sonatas are credited with developing violin style and they and his Concerti Grossi greatly influenced composers of subsequent generations, most notably Handel, Bach and also Vivaldi, who was one of his violin students. His musical achievements and international reputation gained him the support of a number of influential patrons, among them Queen Christina of Sweden who had moved to Rome and established an academy of literati after her abdication of the throne.
Domenico Gabrielli (1651 or 1659-1690) was one of Italy’s first touring cello virtuosos and wrote some of the earliest known pieces for unaccompanied cello. Though he was known in his time for his operas and other vocal and instrumental music, he was influential in developing the cello as a solo instrument. Employed by Duke Francesco II d’Este and the San Petronio Orchestra in Bologna, he also served as president of the Accademia Filharmonica, one of the leading music academies in Europe. Sadly, he died at age 30.
Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767) whose family did not condone his interest in music and disapproved of his choice to switch from law to music as a profession, is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most prolific composer in history, and he set a precedent in pursuing exclusive publication rights for his works by self-publishing. He enjoyed much acclaim during his life though was unfortunate in his marriages. His first wife died in the second year of marriage and though she and the nine children they produced were initially a source of happiness, the second wife not only had multiple affairs but, before leaving him, accumulated a large gambling debt which would have bankrupted Telemann had not his friends helped him. He found solace in his hobbies of gardening and the cultivation of rare plants.
Employed by the Paris Opera as a singer at age
16, François
Bouvard (c.
1684-1760) moved to Rome to study violin
and composition after the tone quality of his voice deteriorated. Though not as
well known as other composers of the Baroque era, he produced several operas as
well as oratorios and cantatas that were performed in Italy and France, but
only one instrumental work, the violin sonatas
Op. 1.
