Tonight at 20.15 h.
in the church of San Francisco de Lorca the next to last of the concerts that the association 'Musical Heritage and Friends of Music' of Lorca has organized for the first edition of Early Music Festival.
The concert will be performed by Pedro countertenor Carlos Perez and Rafael Perez organist, with a program focused on two of the most important figures of the Baroque: Antonio Vivaldi and Johann Sebastian Bach.
The first two works interpreted different.
The first one, 'Stabat Mater', was composed for the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, and could be the first religious work of Vivaldi.
It is dominated by slow tempos and minor keys, and repeat the first three movements.
While the media used by the author for this work are rather cheap, there is nonetheless sincere and heartfelt expression of pain excited of the Virgin Mary at the foot of the cross.
In fact, rhythmic figuration and melodic patterns of some of the most important words of the text evoke specific images in the listener Mother pain.
The regular rhythm of the melody and continuo suggested in this' Stabat Mater 'serious step and cadence of a procession, as happens in the next work program, the famous' Agnus Dei' from the 'Mass in B minor 'of Johann Sebastian Bach.
The teacher wrote in ritornello form of rhetorical figures full of high emotional content, creating an environment that describes the Lamb of God, who died for us.
Bach does everything a display of mastery by combining voice and music perfectly, both with melodies full of chromaticism, which is usually associated with repentance.
The model takes another cantata Bach to build this beauty is highly modified, so that even compared with the original seems a new work.
The musicologist Christoph Wolff has been said that this "Agnus Dei is perhaps one of the latest Bach compositional efforts. Certainly exciting work in which high voice begs for forgiveness from God."
Also, today is another work of Vivaldi play for high only, 'Nisi Dominus', a work that seems to follow the path laid down in the 'Stabat Mater', although later and incorporates consists greatest wealth of contrasting elements.
Rounding out the program three works for solo organ: 'Battle of 6th tone' of Antonio Correa, 'Noël' of L.
Cl Daquin and Fugue in G major BWV 576 by JS Bach.
