Ave Maria - G. Caccini - Moscow Boys' Choir DEBUT
Au 17ème siècle, la peste sévit à Lyon Devant ce fléau, le 8 septembre 1643, fête de la Nativité de la Vierge, le prévôt des marchands (équivalent de notre maire) et ses 4 échevins (adjoints), accompagnés d’une foule de Lyonnais se rendent en procession à Fourvière C’est dans la chapelle de la Vierge qu’ils font le vœu de monter chaque année pour entendre la messe, offrir 7 livres de cire blanche et un écu d’or et ce, si Lyon est épargnée Peu après, le mal recule et leur vœu est exaucé
Depuis cette date, chaque 8 septembre, le maire de Lyon et les élus montent à Fourvière perpétuer cet engagement et l’archevêque bénit la ville avec le Saint Sacrement Trois coups de canon annoncent cette bénédiction
Le renouvellement du Vœu des Échevins manifeste l’attachement de Lyon à la Vierge,protectrice de la ville
Tous les Lyonnais sont conviés à cet événement unique en France
Comme mon papa est lyonnais...je vous offre cette commémoration en musique
en demandant à Marie de nous épargner du Covid !
Well, wish me luck with the nice Orpheus Britannicus version of Strike the Viol. I’m gonna sing this in about two weeks and I have to choose all the right ornaments and stuff. I’ll also sing Amarilli, Mia Bella, because I love that song even though it’s usually thought as “too simple” for a concert (yes, it is simple but definitely not easy) and also everybody just sing it with their historically inaccurate vibrato (ARGH!).
Sumi Jo - Caccini, Vladimir Vavilov - Ave Maria
(i promise you, your ears are not going to hear something *THAT* beautiful today -or this week -or this year)
Caccini: Amarilli mia bella; Phoebe Jevtovic Rosquist, soprano; David Tayler, archlute
anyway this opera slapped in the BEST early-Baroque way and the women’s duets all gave me HUGE gay vibes and the orchestration??? *chef’s kiss*
also we STAN powerful sorceresses (plural!) battling it out
