SUMMARY:Corelli &amp\; Co
DESCRIPTION:An ensemble of violins\, cello\, theorbo\, and harpsichord pres
 ents some of our favorite music of the High Baroque\, including works by A
 rcangelo Corelli and composers he inspired: Antonio Caldara\, George Fride
 ric Handel\, and Antonio Vivaldi. These baroque works are juxtaposed with 
 two Japanese folk songs arranged for the ensemble by violinist Anna Okada.
 \nNotes on the Program by Byron Schenkman\nArcangelo Corelli was probably 
 the most influential composer of the Baroque Era\, the period of European 
 music history which includes the 17th and early 18th centuries. His music 
 was widely reprinted\, edited\, arranged\, and imitated for almost a hundr
 ed years after his death. Antonio Caldara\, George Frideric Handel\, and A
 ntonio Vivaldi are just three of the many composers who modeled works afte
 r those of Corelli. And Corelli’s music formed the basis for what would 
 become known as common practice harmony\, the structure of most “Western
 ” (typically white) music to this day.\nTwo thirds of Corelli’s publis
 hed work consists of trio sonatas\, sonatas for two violins and continuo\,
  sometimes with an independent part for the cello. (Continuo is the standa
 rd Baroque accompaniment\, realized by any combination of bass and chordal
  instruments\, such as the cello\, theorbo\, and harpsichord which we are 
 using in this concert.) By the time Corelli published his trio sonatas the
 re were many examples dating back to the early 17th century. Isabella Leon
 arda’s are some of the best from the generation immediately before Corel
 li.\nAs a counterpart to the European music on our program we are includin
 g two Japanese folk songs in new arrangements for Baroque instruments. “
 Sakura Sakura” (Cherry blossoms\, Cherry blossoms) may have started out 
 as a purely instrumental melody celebrating spring. It has since become a 
 popular song representing Japan in international settings. “Hana” is o
 ne of the most popular songs by Kina Shoukichi\, an Okinawan folk-rock mus
 ician and peace activist whose slogan has been “Lay down your weapons\; 
 take up musical instruments.”
