"Klasikā" uz sarunu aicinām izcilo baroka mūzikas interpreti, latviešu soprānu Guntu Smirnovu no Šveices, un mūsu tikšanās galvenais iemesls ir divi koncerti, kurus sniegs ansamblis Duo Poetico. Baroka mūzikas programma 3. augustā pulksten 20 skanēs akustiskajā koncertzālē "Īle", bet 4. augustā pulksten 17 – Ikšķiles Sv. Meinarda baznīcā. Ansambļa radošo kodolu veido divi mūziķi – Gunta Smirnova un armēņu vijolnieks Rafaels Ter-Sahakjans, kuriem šajā koncertprogrammā piebiedrosies arī ērģelniece Jekaterina Kofanova. Gunta Smirnova sadarbojas ar tādiem senās mūzikas lielmeistariem kā Renē Jakobs, Andrea Markons un Tons Kopmans. Gunta absolvējusi Bāzeles Senās mūzikas akadēmiju, vokālās prasmes pilnveidojusi arī Cīrihes Mākslu augstskolā. Dziedātāja uzstājusies Cīrihes un Bāzeles Operteātros, Amsterdamas Concertgebouw koncertzālē, Ķelnes Filharmonijā, Barselonas Liceja teātrī, kā arī ir regulāra viešņa Leipcigas Tomasa baznīcā. Šosezon Gunta dziedās arī Senās mūzikas festivālā Insbrukā, Senās mūzikas dienās Vācijas pilsētiņā Hernē un Leipcigas Baha festivālā. Rafaels Ter-Sahakjans ir daudzpusīgs mūziķis, kas vijoļspēli apguvis Lozannas un Lucernas Mūzikas akadēmijā Šveicē. Baroka vijoles prasmēs papildinājies pie Braiena Dīna. Vijolnieks regulāri uzstājas ar dažādiem Šveices orķestriem un kamermūzikas kolektīviem, piedalījies arī daudzu jaundarbu pirmatskaņojumos. Duetam koncertā pievienosies Bāzeles Sv. Pētera baznīcas galvenā ērģelniece Jekaterina Kofanova. Virtuoza mūziķe, starptautisku konkursu laureāte, kas regulāri koncertē visā Eiropā, sadarbojas ar daudziem pazīstamiem orķestriem un solistiem, kā arī ir koncertu sērijas Orgelmusik St.Peter Basel mākslinieciskā vadītāja. Akustiskajai koncertzālei "Īle" mūziķi izvēlējušies programmu, kas īpaši veltīta vācu barokam. Tajā satiekas divi ļoti nozīmīgi komponisti – Johans Sebastiāns Bahs un Georgs Frīdrihs Hendelis, kuri dzimuši vienā mēnesī, vienā gadā un pat ģeogrāfiski netālu viens no otra, taču dzīvē nekad nav satikušies. Programma pārsteigs ar to, ka itāļu operu un angļu oratoriju meistara Hendeļa mūzika šoreiz skanēs viņa dzimtajā vācu valodā. Izskanēs trīs no viņa pazīstamjām "Deviņām vācu ārijām", kas ir izsmalcinātas kamermuzikālas miniatūras ar slavenā dzejnieka Bartolda Heiniha Brokes tekstiem. Savukārt garīgās mūzikas ģēnija Baha vokālo daiļradi programmā pārstāvēs ārijas no viņa laicīgajām kantātēm ("Kāzu kantātes" BWV 202 un "Ganiņu kantātes" BWV 249a). Bet vairāku Baha skolnieku, kā arī viņa dēla Karla Filipa Emanuela Baha kompozīcijas programmas otrajā daļā ieskicēs vācu mūzikas stilistisko attīstību 18.gs.beigās. K.F.E. Baha kamerkantāte "Pavasaris" pārlikumā soprānam, vijolei un ērģelēm šajā koncertā izskanēs pirmo reizi. Sarunā ar Guntu Smirnovu – par komandas darbu un kontaktiem senajā mūzikā karjeras sākumā Šveicē un tagad, par svarīgu posmu dzīvē kā kora dziedātājai un praktisko dzīvi, kura bijusi pamācoša; par satikšanos ar Renē Jakobsu un lomu uzkrājumu; par to, kāpēc pārtrūcis diedziņš sadarbībai ar Latviju un kā tas atjaunojies; par koncertprogrammu Īlē un Ikšķilē; par Duo Poetico nosaukumu un mūziku, kas aizrauj un aizkustina pašus mūziķus, kā arī par ansambļa sastāvu un saspēli. Bet intervijas izskaņā – par kursu "Vēsturiskā dziedāšanas māksla", ko Gunta tiešsaistē pasniegs Latvijas Mūzikas akadēmijas Senās mūzikas katedras studentiem, dziedāšanas ideāliem un ornamentēšanas noslēpumiem... Inga Žilinska: Mūsu iepriekšējā tikšanās notika pirms vairāk nekā piecpadsmit gadiem Bāzelē, kad studēji Schola Cantorum pie pieredzes bagātās dziedātājas Evelīnas Tabas. Laiks pagājis, un Latvijā par tevi neesam dzirdējuši gandrīz neko, savukārt Šveicē esi ieguvusi gan savu vietu, gan atzinību. Kā tev šie gadi aizritējuši, un kāda šobrīd ir tava ikdiena? Gunta Smirnova: Tā arī esmu palikusi Bāzelē… Pēc Schola Cantorum vēl mācījos Cīrihes Mākslu augstskolā. Tad vēl visādas privātstundas, meistarkursi, jo ar skolas beigšanu jau nekas nebeidzas – dziedātājam jau tas ceļš ir ļoti, ļoti garš, vienmēr ir, ko darīt un vienmēr kaut kas jāturpina tālāk. Taču ļoti svarīgi bijuši visi kontakti, kas gūti studiju laikā: kad sākas īstie mākslas ceļi, ir labi, ja pazīsti cilvēkus, kas arī pabeiguši skolu un kļuvuši, piemēram, par mūzikas direktoriem baznīcās. Tā ka karjeras sākumā ļoti noderēja daudzie kontakti tieši no skolas - kāds bija mani dzirdējis. Un tas, kas Schola Cantorum ir ļoti īpašs – tas, ka senās mūzikas atskaņošanā tev vajadzīgi citi cilvēki! Piemēram, lai savam eksāmenam iestudētu vienu Baha kantāti, tev nepieciešama vesela mūziķu komanda... Līdz ar to tu visu laiku sadarbojies ar kolēģiem: dziedi studiju biedru eksāmenos, dažādos koncertos, līdz ar to ļoti labi arī uzreiz redzi, ar ko tu varētu labi sastrādāties. Arī tevi dzird, un karjeras sākumā tas ir ļoti svarīgi! Tieši tā, Šveicē darbojoties, sākās lielākā dziedāšana jau pēc skolas beigšanas. Laikam tikai vienreiz dzīvē esmu bijusi uz kādu noklausīšanos, jo viss pārējais noticis tādā veidā, ka mani kāds ir dzirdējis un ieteicis. Tu darbojies kā brīvmāksliniece?  Jā, tieši tā. Vairākus gadus dziedāju arī koros. Piemēram, Zürcher Sing-Akademie – tas ir profesionāls koris, ar kuru sadarbojās arī Valsts akadēmiskais koris "Latvija". Mums bija kopīgs koncerts – bija ļoti jauki satikt bijušos kolēģus un draugus Cīrihē! Kopumā man tas bija ļoti, ļoti svarīgs posms, jo varējām sastrādāties ar pasaulslaveniem diriģentiem un labiem orķestriem. Un tad jau tu arī mācies muzikāli iekļauties tajā visā. Redzi, kā viss notiek. Praktiskā dzīve ir ļoti pamācoša! Tas bija ļoti vērtīgi – līdz brīdim, kad sapratu, ka kora dziedāšana tomēr ir kas cits. Solodziedāšanai ir cita intensitāte. Šobrīd vairāk dziedu solo vai ansambļos. Lielajos koros vairs nedziedu. Kā notika tava satikšanās ar leģendāro Renē Jakobsu? Bija taču vairāki koncerti, kuros sadarbojāties. Tas bija tik interesanti... Tobrīd dziedāju Zürcher Sing-Akademie – mums bija projekts ar Haidna Stabat Mater, kura pēdējā daļā ir ārkārtīgi virtuoza pasāža. Jakobss jau pašā sākumā zināja, ka viņa ansambļa soliste, kurai ir vairāk liriska balss, nevarēs tādā tempā nodziedāt, kā viņš vēlas. Un viņš bija lūdzis, lai to iestudē koris. Tad nu mēs – pieci soprāni – mēģinājām reizē nodziedāt tās milzīgi ātrās koloratūras neiespējami ātrā tempā, bet Jakobss izlēma – lai tomēr dzied viena dziedātāja. Un tajā brīdī mūsu diriģents Florians Helgāts lūdza viņam norādīt, kura tieši dziedātāja tā būs, kura nu tagad to dziedās. Viņš norādīja uz mani – pamēģini! Pamēģināju, tā tas arī palika, un ierakstā tas mans 20 sekunžu solo arī palicis. (smejas) Tobrīd Florians man saka: klausies, Jakobsam patika – aizej viņam kaut ko nodziedi! Un tad tas drosmīgais solis – pieiet pie maestro un jautāt: vai drīkstu pie jums rīt atnākt un kaut ko nodziedāt… Jā, tas dziedātājam ir grūts brīdis – kad sevi jāparāda, par sevi jāpastāv un jānotic. Un tiešām – viņš mani uzaicināja, noklausījās, un pēc pusgada uzvedām Tēlemaņa operu.  Un to mēs dzirdējām arī "Klasikas" tiešraidē! Jā, maza, jautra lomiņa – Kefīza, lai atvieglotu traģisko operas ritējumu. Meitene, kura dzied par brīvību. Ļoti, ļoti jauka loma. Cik lomu kopumā ir tavā radošajā kontā? Manā repertuārā vairāk ir koncertpartijas – pasijās, oratorijās, kantātēs un tā tālāk. No operu lomām – vairākas Persela operas: "Karalis Artūrs", "Feju karaliene", "Didona un Enejs". Monteverdi "Orfejs". Operu gan ir mazāk, lai gan esmu dziedājusi atsevišķas operu ārijas.  Bet Rīgā tu neesi dziedājusi jau ļoti sen. Pēdējā reize bija ar Alisi Jušku, Aināru Paukšēnu un Jāni Pelši – manuprāt, 2009. gadā. Tā sanāca, ka bija pārtrūcis tas diedziņš sadarbībā ar Latviju: nodibināju ģimeni, un bija daudz sarežģītāk visu saplānot un sakārtot. Ja mazi bērni, tikt uz skatuves ir problemātiski – tad jau uz vietas ir grūti saplānot! Par braucieniem ir ļoti jādiskutē, jo jābūt kādam, kas var palikt mājās. Jo turklāt abi ar vīru esat mūziķi.  Tāpēc ļoti daudz kas ir jāsaskaņo. Vajag, lai der abām pusēm un ģimene ir laimīga. Un tagad esam satikušās, lai runātu par diviem koncertiem, kas šajā nedēļā izskanēs Latvijā. Viens no tiem notiks Īles baznīcā, otrs – Ikšķiles baznīcā. Turklāt Ikšķile ir tava dzimtā pilsēta. Kas īsti ir jūsu projekts – Duo Poetico? Latviski tulkojot – poētiskais duets. Esam divi – es un mans vīrs, vijolnieks. Parasti mums ir arī trešais dalībnieks. Jo ļoti maz ir skaņdarbu vijolei un balsij. Varbūt  vajadzētu arī kaut ko pasūtīt? Līdz ar to, ka esmu baroka dziedātāja, pārsvarā mūsu programmu centrā ir baroka mūzika, un tad nu mūsu kompānijā ir vai nu teorbists, vai ērģelnieks, vai arī klavesīnists. Varam būt ļoti mazs sastāvs – trijatā, un varam būt arī paplašināts sastāvs – ar veselu continuo grupu. Atskaņojam to, kas mums patīk. Ļoti bieži ir tā, ka programmas sākumā ir baroka mūzika, bet turpinājumā ejam tālāk uz romantiskāku un modernāku mūziku.  Kāda programma būs šoreiz? Īles baznīcā skanēs programma "Vācu baroka pērles" – tā bija koncerta rīkotāju vēlme, lai būtu vācu mūzika. Tāpēc esam izvēlējušies tiešām skaistas šīs mūzikas pērles! Piemēram, būs trīs no Hendeļa vācu ārijām. Kas neparasti: Hendeli vislabāk, protams, pazīstam kā itāļu operu vai angļu oratoriju autoru, bet tas, ka viņš ir vācu komponists – tas daudziem nav aizķēries prātā, un bieži vien ir pārsteigums. Šīs ārijas ir ar brīnišķīgi skaistiem, poētiskiem tekstiem vācu valodā – tās mēs arī piedāvāsim. Tās mums bieži ir programmas centrā. Būs arī Bahs un viņa laicīgā mūzika, kas retāk tiek atskaņota. (..) Atklāj, kurš būs vijolnieks un kurš spēlēs ērģeles? Vijolnieks Rafaels ir mans vīrs, bet ērģelniece būs mūsu mīļā Katja Kofanova, kura ir Bāzeles Pētera baznīcā galvenā ērģelniece. Ar viņu sadarbojamies jau vairāku gadu garumā. Sadarbība sākusies dievkalpojumos, bet pamazām radušās kopīgas koncertprogrammas. Viņa atbrauks arī pie mums uz Latviju, uz Īli. Pirmo reizi muzicēsim uz ērģelītēm, kuras būs uzstādītas speciāli mūsu koncertam Īles baznīcā. Ļoti, ļoti satraucoši. Bet domāju, ka būs ļoti interesanti! Pēc tava stāstītā saprotu, ka primārais programmas izvēlē ir skaista, neparasta, īpaša mūzika.  Jebkurā gadījumā – mūzika, kas mūs pašus aizrauj un aizkustina. Ļoti svarīga ir arī saspēle, kas notiek starp mums. Ļoti priecājos, ka atpakaļceļu uz Latviju tu meklē arī caur profesionālajām zināšanām: no Mūzikas akadēmijas Senās mūzikas katedras vadītājas vietas izpildītājas Ievas Salietes saņēmu ziņu, ka nākamajā gadā mūsu Mūzikas akadēmijas Senās mūzikas katedrā mācībspēks būs Gunta Smirnova. Tas ir brīnišķīgi, jo tava pieredze, izglītība un uzkrātās zināšanas ir tik apjomīgas, ka noteikti būs ļoti labs papildinājums mūsu Mūzikas akadēmijas senās mūzikas studentiem. Kuras būs tās sfēras, par kurām runāsi Mūzikas akadēmijā, un kas būs tavi apskatāmie lauciņi? Arī pati esmu ārkārtīgi priecīga par šo iespēju – ne tikai dziedāt, ne tikai parādīt, ko daru, bet arī dalīties tajā, ko esmu ieguvusi. (..) Ir ļoti daudz aktīvu jauniešu, kuri saka – jā, vēlos specializēties senajā mūzikā, un tas mani iepriecina… Kurss būs attālināts un norisināsies tiešsaistē, jo dzīvoju Bāzelē un nevaru atbraukt uz nodarbībām. Tā nosaukums – "Vēsturiskā dziedāšanas māksla". Tā būs mana pirmā pieredze šāda kursa pasniegšanā! Līdz šim esmu pasniegusi privātstundas un arī ar kolēģiem dalījusies – piemēram, rakstījusi ornamentus. Visas grāmatas jau apkopotas, tagad strādāju pie tā, lai visam būtu tulkojums angļu valodā, jo ļoti daudz kas ir vāciski. Tajā jūtos brīvi, bet saprotu, ka jābūt pieejamiem materiāliem angliski. (..) Pirmkārt, svarīgi saprast, kādi ir dziedāšanas ideāli. Vēsturiskajos traktātos ļoti daudz rakstīts par to, ko nozīmē laba dziedāšana un ko nozīmē skaista dziedāšana. Ļoti liela tēma vēsturiskajā dziedāšanā ir ornamenti. Uz to arī likšu akcentu, jo tas ir jātrenējas, tas ir jāmācās – pirmkārt jāievada sev ausī faili, kādi vispār ir varianti. Un tad, kad dziedi, augstākā stadija ir tad, ja vari brīvi, vispār nepiedomājot, tajā stilā ornamentēt. Man bijusi laime to iemācīties, jo man bijuši ļoti labi pasniedzēji. Kad dziedu Monteverdi mūziku, varu katru reizi to ornamentu veidot citādāku – pēc sajūtām. Saskaņā ar to, ko mūzika un afekts prasa. Tā ir brīnišķīga brīvības sajūta – kad apzinies, ka dziedi stilā, un mūzika ir dzīva.

"The greatest lesson that I learned as a gig singer is that your career and reputation are built one chance at a time. You get one chance and one chance only. If I want people to go out on a limb for me and recommend me for a gig, then I have to make sure that I'm protecting their reputation as well as my own. That starts with never being late, always being prepared, and almost never missing a note."

Synopsis In the Guiness Book of Music Facts and Feats, the record for "Most Prolific Composer" goes to Georg Philip Telemann, who died on today's date in 1767 at the age of 86. And longevity gave an edge to productivity: Telemann outlived his prolific contemporary, J.S. Bach, by 21 years, and outlived Handel by 12. But even considering the extra years he lived, Telemann's output is staggering. Of Bach's cantatas, some 200 or so survive, but Telemann's number 1400. He also wrote 125 orchestral suites, 125 concertos, 130 trios, 145 pieces for solo keyboard, and about 50 operas. Most composers (if they are lucky), publish one autobiography; Telemann published three, and commented in one of them, "How is it possible for me to remember everything I wrote for violin and winds?" Sometimes, in addition to composing original music, Telemann was also asked to perform it: "A few days before I play a violin concerto," he wrote, "I always locked myself away, fiddle in hand, shirt-sleeves rolled up, with something strong to calm the nerves, and practice." Fortunately, Telemann seemed to find musical inspiration everywhere, including from the pop and folk music of his day. As he put it, "One would scarcely believe what wonderful ideas pipers and fiddlers have when they improvise while dancers pause for breath.

Jeg heter Astrid Kirschner, jeg er barokkfiolinist, og dette er episode nummer 11 av min podkast BAROKKPODDEN!, og den handler om Johann Sebastian Bachs kantate BWV 165 "O heiliges Geist- und Wasserbad", skrevet i 1715 i Weimar for treenighetssøndagen, den første søndagen etter pinse. Første fremføring var 16.juni 1715, og tekstdikteren var Salomon Franck.Min gjest i podkasten er i dag slottsorganist Lars Notto Birkeland som jobber ved Akershus slottskirke, Oslo.

Gabi Hartmann est la bonne surprise de 2023. L'artiste française se profile avec élégance dans les traces de Melody Gardot. Entre jazz et bossa. Elle est l'invitée de la SessionLive où elle jouera 2 titres avec le clarinettiste Robbie Marshall. En ouverture, Sophian Fanen présente l'actu discographique en 5 titres. Tous les mois, le journaliste et critique musical Sophian Fanen partage ses obsessions du moment :- Crimi, 'A Sira, tiré de l'album «Scuru Cauru» (Airfono, 2023) voir le clip -Smokey Robinson, I Wanna Know your Body, tiré de l'album Gasms (Smokey Robinson, 2023)-Lucie Antunes, Vivant·e·s pt. 1, tiré de l'album Carnaval (CryBaby/Infiné, 2023)-Kassin, Perfeito (feat. Chiara Banfi), single (LAB 344, 2023)- MC Yallah, Sikwebela, tiré de l'album «Yallah Beibe» (Hakuna Kulala, 2023) voir le clip.Puis nous recevons Gabi Hartmann pour la sortie de son 1er album.On pourra discuter à l'infini, mais on ne sait pas forcément très clairement où la voix de Gabi Hartmann nous transporte : un bar jazz en sous-sol, une plage tropicale au crépuscule, une terrasse dans une pente de Lisbonne, le fond d'une brasserie parisienne par une nuit d'hiver ? On ferme les yeux et passent, enlacées, l'ombre d'une légende du jazz, d'une diva de la bossa nova, d'une grande dame en noir de la chanson française ou portugaise, quelque part au carrefour du chic exquis et de la mélancolie vertigineuse, de la douceur consolante et du spleen partagé. Quelques mois après un EP introductif, paraît enfin le premier album de Gabi Hartmann, produit avec Jesse Harris. Ils se rencontrent en 2018 à New York. Il apporte tout ce qui fait la gloire de ses collaborations avec Norah Jones, Madeleine Peyroux ou Melody Gardot. Gabi Hartmann apporte aussi une histoire musicale personnelle en devenir, mais déjà touffue. Enfance et famille parisienne écoutant à la fois de la chanson, du rock et des musiques de partout. Piano classique jusqu'à quatorze ans, lorsqu'elle l'échange contre la guitare de son frère pour écrire des chansons. Le jazz surgit en rewind après sa découverte d'Amy Winehouse et de ses reprises d'Ella, Sinatra ou Nat King Cole. Cours de jazz à la Schola Cantorum puis au Conservatoire, détour par la musique brésilienne en vivant deux ans à Rio de Janeiro, une année d'ethnomusicologie à Londres, retour à Paris pour entrelacer des projets en dix genres et trois langues. Quand Jesse Harris lui propose de produire son album, elle y voit une invitation à « rassembler tout ce que je suis », dit-elle – l'amour de Billie Holiday et de Lhasa de Sela, ses amitiés pour le flûtiste soudanais Ghandi Adam et pour le guitariste guinéen Abdoulaye Kouyaté, son admiration pour l'immense crooner Henri Salvador et ses souvenirs de voyage en Afrique, son matériel tout neuf et des splendeurs vénérables écrites avant la naissance de ses parents… Dès leur rencontre, les deux musiciens écrivent et enregistrent entre New York et Paris. Peu à peu, émergent des chansons de Gabi, la cohérence entre son amour des grands standards jazz et ses confessions de jeune Française de son siècle, entre sa fascination pour les musiques des Tropiques et son instinct poétique parisien… Tout en préparant cet album, elle fait la première partie de Jamie Cullum ou Melody Gardot, passe régulièrement au mythique club de jazz le Duc des Lombards, voit grandir la rumeur sur son nom… À la rentrée 2021, les cinq titres de son EP annoncent une grande voix à la fois populaire et savante. Et voici que l'album confirme : timbre chaud et précis avec une once de désinvolture élégante, charme également funambule en français, en anglais et en portugais (et aussi pour quelques couplets en arabe), esthétique intemporelle et regard franc sur son époque (La Mer, titre tragique sur le sort des migrants en Méditerranée), phrasé d'idole du disque et classe des classiques de Cinecittá, auteure introspective et compositrice plurielle… Voici ce que les Américains appellent chanteuse, et que l'on appelle lady en français, aussi douée pour se montrer telle qu'en elle-même que pour endosser les habits de la légende.Titres interprétés au grand studio- Mille Rivages Live RFI voir le clip - La Mer, extrait de l'album- L'amour incompris Live RFI.Line Up : Gabi Hartman, voix, guitare, Robby Marshall, flûte traversière.Son : Jérémie Besset, Mathias Taylor.► Album Gabi Hartmann (Sony Music 2023).Prochain concert, le 27 novembre 2023 à La Cigale, Paris.

Interview originally recorded March, 2021.Eleven trips to the Mayan region and an investigation of some 35 years into Precolumbian thought have indelibly marked and changed the work of this U.S.-born composer. Haladyna's Mayan Cycle now stretches to thirty-five highly distinctive pieces, including such titles as Zaquico'xol, El Llanto de Izamal, The Maya Curse Pedro de Alvarado, Pok-ta-Pok, 2012, The Oracle of 13 Sky, Copal, and the Jaguar Poems.   Among the most novel features of the Cycle is its frequent use of Jeremy's original scales (three in total) derived from the ingenious math of the Mayan calendar.Jeremy, an accomplished keyboardist and conductor, served as director of UC Santa Barbara's Ensemble for Contemporary Music for sixteen years (2003-2019) and created much of the Mayan Cycle during that time.  He holds prizes and academic qualifications from three countries. A laureate of the Lili Boulanger Prize and diplômé of the history-rich Schola Cantorum on Paris' Left Bank, he also holds an advanced degrees from the University of Surrey (U.K.) and the University of California. He taught undergraduate composition to scores of young composers at UCSB from 1990-2019 (29 years) after being named to its permanent faculty in March, 2000.  He is now Emeritus Faculty.  His own past teachers include William Kraft, Karl Korte, Eugene Kurtz, Jacques Charpentier, Peter Racine Fricker, John McCabe, Sebastian Forbes, and Joseph Schwantner.Pieces, in order heard:Pok-ta-PokMaya Zodiachttps://www.mayancycle.com/https://music.ucsb.edu/people/emeriti/jeremy-haladyna

James and Rita are here to talk about Schola Cantorum's  "From Heaven on High" concert on the17th

11. decembrī pulksten 16.00 Krimuldas Evaņģēliski Luteriskajā baznīcā notiks Adventa laika labdarības koncerts "Ave!" Koncertā piedalīsies viduslaiku vokālās mūzikas ansamblis Schola Cantorum Vox Iubilantis Laines Taboras vadībā. Ieeja koncertā par ziedojumiem Ukrainas atbalstam. Par šo koncertu plašāk stāsta viena no vokālā ansambļa dalībniecēm Agnese Abramāne. Koncertprogrammas nosaukumam izvēlēts atslēgvārds "Ave!" atgādina par Bībelē aprakstīto eņģeļa Gabriela sveicienu Marijai, pasludinot, ka viņa kļūs par Dieva Dēla māti. Kristīgajā tradīcijā Marija ir viena no Adventa laika centrālajām figūrām. Tas izteikti parādās plašajā viduslaiku sakrālās mūzikas repertuārā, kur Jaunavas Marijas, Dieva Dēla mātes tēls un sūtība tiek plaši kontemplēts.  Koncertā skanēs gan vienbalsīgās gregoriskā korāļa vokāli virtuozās kompozīcijas, kuru izcelsme sniedzas pirmajā tūkstošgadē, gan daudzbalsīgas kompozīcijas no tādiem vēlīno viduslaiku manuskriptiem kā Las Huelgas cisterciešu klostera Spānijas ziemeļos, Llibre Vermell no Monseratas klostera netālu no Barselonas, kā arī manuskriptiem no Anglijas un Austrijas klosteriem. Šis izsmalcinātais vokālais repertuārs spilgti un dažādi atdzīvina šī īpašā gaidīšanas laika Bībeles un liturģiskos tekstus un aicina klausītājus pārdomāt Kristus dzimšanas svētku gaidīšanas aspektu.  Schola Cantorum Vox Iubilantis ir sieviešu vokālās mūzikas ansamblis, kas augstā līmenī izpilda gregorisko korāli, tā interpretācijā balstoties uz senajiem neimu rokrakstiem, paleogrāfijas un semioloģijas studijām. Ansambļa sastāvā ir profesionālas mūziķes: Laine Tabora, Dārta Treija, Aija Veismane-Garkeviča, Līga Džeriņa, Agnese Abramāne, Undīne Mazjūle un Inga Akmene. Ansamblis savā repertuārā papildus gregoriskajam korālim iekļauj arī, vēlīnos viduslaiku dziedājumus, agrīno daudzbalsību un laikmetīgo sakrālo mūziku. Schola pastāv kopš 2017. gada vasaras. Ansamblis ar koncertiem uzstājies koncertos un festivālos Latvijā, Lietuvā, Igaunijā kā arī Šveicē un Slovākijā. Dažādos projektos ansamblis ir sadarbojies ar izciliem gregoriskā korāļa pētniekiem, interpretiem, kā piemēram, Franz Karl Prassl, (Austrija), Jaan-Eik Tulve un ansambli Vox Clamantis (Igaunija) un norvēģu komponists Henrik Ødegaard. Šo gadu laikā atskaņotas sakrālās mūzikas koncertprogrammas ar dažādiem atzītiem pašmāju un ārzemju mūzikas profesionāļiem . Koncertprogramma "Ave!" izskanēs sveču gaismā, kas zīmīgi izgaismo decembra vakara tumsu un aicina klausītāju uz gaišu Ziemassvētku gaidīšanu.

Omni die dic Mariae (Todo dia cante à Maria), é um canto gregoriano medieval, datado do século XIII e de autoria desconhecida (alguns atribuem a São Tomás de Aquino, mas não se tem certeza). É um canto tradicional da história da Igreja Católica, sendo muito comum nas missas tradicionais em latim, as missas tridentinas. Mais que um simples canto, uma aula de verdadeira devoção mariana .

We are back with the 2nd season of our podcast dedicated to sight-reading in music! It is going to be an exciting season. Our first guest is Alexis Kossenko. « Alexis Kossenko is a multi-skilled young genius whose career will take him where he wills. (…) Few conductors are so compelling to watch, whether by his players or we listeners, but there is no 'showing off' to impress an audience. » (Musical Pointers) We met Alexis in Riehen and had a short interview with him in a cafe before his recording of Mozart Concertos, it was a very inspiring conversation! After that we met at the Schola Cantorum for a short sight-reading session of a Sonata for 2 flutes and Cembalo by Johann Sebastian Bach, BWV 1028, reconstructed by J. Bopp. Born in Nice, Alexis Kossenko performs as a soloist with Deutsche Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Concerto Copenhagen, Ensemble Matheus, Philharmonie der Nationen, La Grande Ecurie et la Chambre du Roy, Concert d'Astrée, Stradivaria, Barokksolistene, B'Rock, Le Cercle de l'Harmonie, La Chambre Philharmonique, Modo Antiquo, Le Concert Lorrain, Holland Baroque Society, Helsinki Baroque Orchestra, in a repertoire ranging from Vivaldi to Khachaturian including Mozart concertos on tour with Emmanuel Krivine. He therefore recently performed in Berlin Philharmonie, Stockholm Philharmonie, Moscow Philharmonie, Franz Liszt Concert Hall in Budapest, Wigmore Hall and Royal Albert Hall in London, Mozarteum Salzburg, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées and Salle Gaveau in Paris, Opéra Royal and Chapelle Royale in Versailles, Ton-Halle in Zürich, Bruges and Amsterdam Concertgebouw. Fine connaisseur of all the historical forms of his instrument, Alexis Kossenko plays as well on the modern flute (he was awarded from Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris in the class of Alain Marion) as on baroque flute, classical and romantic flutes, or recorder. He is now first flautist of La Chambre Philharmonique (dir. Emmanuel Krivine), Ensemble Matheus (dir . Jean-Christophe Spinosi), Gli Angeli Genève (Stephan MacLeod), Le Concert Spirituel (Hervé Niquet) and from now Orchestre des Champs-Elysées (dir. Philippe Herreweghe), He recorded flute concertos by Nielsen, Telemann, Haydn, Touchemoulin, and specially, for French label Alpha, the complete concertos by CPE Bach, Vivaldi concertos (Editor's Choice de Gramophone) and Charpentier leçons de ténèbres with baryton Stephan MacLeod. As a conductor, Alexis Kossenko was invited by European Union Baroque Orchestra, B'Rock, Le Concert d'Astrée, Holland Baroque Society, Arte dei Suonatori, Musica Viva Moscow ; But it is at the head of Les Ambassadeurs that he undertakes his most significant projects, such as the new series for Alpha « per l'orchestra di Dresda » as well as an intense work on Rameau, Purcell, CPE Bach and Mozart. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexis_Kossenko https://www.les-ambassadeurs.com/ Follow our Instagram and Telegram channels where you can see some pictures from sight-reading sessions and where you can write us https://t.me/insight_reading_enlightenment https://www.instagram.com/insight_reading_enlightenment/ YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgJqHSY4qpaFAU95PaB6AjA Yours Darina and Sebastien #flute #traverso #alexiskossenko #kossenko #podcast #earlymusic #earlymusicpodcast #insightreadingenlightenment --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/insight-reading/message

¡Hola! Soy Alberto Segovia, y hoy tengo el inmenso placer de presentarte a Carolina Sendic, maestra del método con muchísimos años de experiencia, criada en Cuba pero que ha echado sólidas raíces en París, y posiblemente una de las primeras personas que se lanzó con fuerza y decisión hace ya muchísimos años a esto del Pilates online. Carolina Sendic Itté es una enamorada del movimiento desde su más tierna infancia. A los 5 añitos, Carolina toma su primer contacto con el entrenamiento corporal, a través de la gimnasia rítmica, en La Habana. Y este amor por el movimiento se sigue ampliando con el paso de los años, tomando contacto con la danza y el ballet a los 10 años, y sigue superando cursos hasta que llega el momento en que decide presentarse, y pasa satisfactoriamente, a los exámenes de acceso para la ENA (Escuela Nacional de Arte) en la que termina graduándose a los 18 años de edad, e inmediatamente después, decide continuar sus estudios y formación en el ISA (Instituto Superior de Arte), en Cuba. En 1994 se traslada a Francia, dónde audiciona y es aceptada para la "Schola Cantorum", un antiguo convento transformado en establecimiento superior de enseñanza de Artes dramática, música y danza. A finales de los 90 conoce el Método Pilates en Nueva York, y comienza a practicar como usuaria hasta que un par de años después, decide formarse con A-lyne Pilates, una SUCURSAL EN PARÍS de Balanced Body. Y tiempo después se adentra en el estudio de La Contrología y por tanto del método Pilates más clásico, de la mano de nuestra admirada compañera, Elena Bartley. Igualmente ha continuado formándose y asistiendo a WorkShops con los principales compañeros y compañeras TOP del panorama internacional, y actualmente desarrolla su labor profesional en París y alrededores a nivel presencial, así como para el resto de Planeta a través de sus contenidos y entrenamientos online. Sólo me queda decir que es para mí un auténtico placer y todo un orgullo poder contar hoy con la presencia de Carolina en El Podcast de PILATES4K, y poder así continuar transmitiéndote de primera mano la opinión de los mejores.

Jerry Hui is an amazing choral director, both composing and bringing out of singers intricate & moving performances.

Julian began his life surrounded by music with his siblings, and was sent away to music courses by his parents, where he developed a real need to make music and share it with others. Between his classical training at King's College Cambridge and the Royal Academy of Music in London, he explored the world of historical performance at the Schola Cantorum in Basel, where he swiftly learnt Swiss German, how to improvise on the organ, and much more. Soon after his studies, on a course with Mary King and Rufus Norris at English National Opera, Julian discovered some unusual tips and tricks he would later apply in his work with singers. Julian now plays harpsichord at the highest level, coaches, and conducts – including his recent acclaimed recordings of John Eccles' Semele with the Academy of Ancient Music and Cambridge Handel Opera Company, and the world premiere recording of Stephen Dodgson's Margaret Catchpole: Two Worlds Apart for Naxos, and is also the Artistic Director of Cambridge Handel Opera Company. You can read more about Julian on his website here , and find out more about Cambridge Handel Opera Company here. John Eccles' Semele, conducted by Julian is available here and Stephen Dodgsons's Margaret Catchpole: Two Worlds Apart is available here
