SUMMARY:Corelli's Cult
DESCRIPTION:1$ CONCERT • 17$ SUGGESTED DONATION • BEVERAGES AVAILABLE\n
 In 18th century Europe\, perhaps no figure loomed as large in the eyes of 
 his contemporaries as Arcangelo Corelli\, whose music was still being repu
 blished more than 100 years after his death. You could say that the fittin
 gly named “Archangel” (as we like to call him) was sort of like if Chi
 cago basketball legend Michael Jordan was an Italian violinist and compose
 r of the baroque era. Because Corelli was such a formidable cultural icon\
 , many of Europe’s other most notable musicians wrote music inspired by 
 the Archangel\, mimicking his style\, transcribing or re-orchestrating pie
 ces he had written\, and deifying him.\nCorelli did seem to inhabit a supe
 rnatural realm when he played his violin. While performing\, his normally 
 mild demeanor transformed. His eyes were said to “roll back” and “gl
 ow red as fire” as he “tormented the violin\,” as he improvised his 
 way through his pieces and convincing his listeners to feel things they ha
 d never felt before. In other words\, listeners were in awe of his godlike
  control over the room’s vibes. After the star’s death in 1713\, his c
 ult lived on: fascination with and admiration for Corelli’s music shaped
  the course of musical change in 18th century Europe\, and his legendary n
 ame was still being whispered in musical circles well into the 1800s.\nIn 
 this program\, we seek not only to share with you some of our favourite Co
 relli pieces\, but also to explore the profound and lasting influence of h
 is music on other musicians–even today! (That’s why we’re playing th
 is show.) In doing so\, perhaps we get a little closer to the divine\, the
  image of “the Archangel” he has come to embody\, and perhaps we take 
 a first step in initiating ourselves into his cult too…
