Synopsis On this date in 1787, an obituary in London's Morning Post noted the passing two days earlier of Carl Friedrich Abel – composer, concert impresario and viola da gamba virtuoso – aged 63. The viola da gamba was the forerunner of the modern cello. Its heyday was in the 17th century be soon after the softer-voiced gamba lost out to the more powerful cello. Abel's obituary remarked that: “his favorite instrument was not in general use and would probably die with him.” Well, as usual, the press got it partly right – the gamba did pass out of general use for almost 150 years, but the early music revival in the 20th century has renewed interest in the viola da gamba, and today there's even NEW music being composed for this old instrument: for example Roy Whelden's “Prelude and Divisions on ‘She's So Heavy'” – based on the Beatles tune by Lennon and McCartney. Roy Whelden was born in 1950 in New Hampshire. Until age 23, his instruments were the trumpet, and secondarily, the cello, but he fell in love with the viola da gamba and ended up playing with and composing for period instrument groups like Ensemble Alcatraz and American Baroque.

Socrates said it best, “Hey, ho, Western Civ. has got to go!” Well, maybe that was the Saucy boys of HAG, but either way, tune in to Episode 26 to find out why it's time to put that hot mess of Eurocentric nonsense called the Western Civilization course out to pasture. And that's only the appetizer, as you'll be hungry for our main course interview with the brilliant Molly Warsh, the University of Pittsburgh scholar and author of American Baroque: Pearls and the Nature of Empire. Sail along with us on a high seas global adventure as Molly recounts her unexpected discoveries in research, from the archives of Portugal to the river banks of Scotland, and a VERY special back room tour of the London city museum. Hint: Molly learned that if the 400 year old diamond ring fits, you gotta wear it. There are jewels galore in Episode 26, so be sure to tune in, but remember, if it's American baroque, don't fix it!
Ben Franklin's World: A Podcast About Early American History
Spain became the first European power to use the peoples, resources, and lands of the Americas and Caribbean as the basis for its Atlantic Empire. How did this empire function and what wealth was Spain able to extract from these peoples and lands? Molly Warsh, an Associate Professor of History at the University of Pittsburgh and author of American Baroque: Pearls and the Nature of Empire, 1492-1700, helps us investigate answers to these questions by showing us how Spain attempted to increase its wealth and govern its empire through its American and Caribbean pearl operations.

The early-modern Atlantic World was a chaotic place over which European empires frequently had little control. In her new book American Baroque: Pearls and the Nature of Empire, 1492-1700 (University of North Carolina Press, 2018), Molly Warsh uses the pearl trade to explain the complications around imperial economies and imaginations. She looks at human fascination with the jewel, the challenges of fishing for the oysters that contained it, and the near impossibility of regulating it for an early-modern state. Caribbean fisheries took center stage in Iberian attempts to grow rich off of pearls, but indigenous and African labor, alongside colonial subterfuge made the trade a problematic one for imperial regimes. American Baroque tells a global story about the pearl’s influence across multiple locations, and the ways that early empires struggled to hold their grip. Learn more about your ad choices.

I'm posting three tracks from Roy Whelden's album LIKE A PASSING RIVER, which was in part inspired by my novel ALL THE VISIONS, which reappears in July, 2014. "Rucker Songs" is an operatic oratorio featuring the playing of Roy Whelden and the American Baroque quartet, with Karen Clark singing. The words are drawn from intense closing passages of ALL THE VISIONS. 7 min 45 secs.
