Mit »Jardin de Plaisance« ist die erste CD der schola cantorum basiliensis edition bei Raumklang erschienen. In dieser Reihe werden viel versprechende junge Musiker und Ensemble vorgestellt, die an der Schola Cantorum Basiliensis ihre Ausbildung erhalten haben. Gleichzeitig werden spannende Programme abseits der Hauptstraßen der Alten Musik repräsentiert. Die Musiker-Generation nach Guillaume Dufay und Gilles Binchois begann um 1450 mit neuen Kompositionstechniken zu experimentieren, die zu einem sehr fortschrittlichen und eigenständigen Repertoire von weltlichen Liedern führten. Gesammelt und überliefert wurden diese Werke nach 1460 in mehreren Handschriften aus Kreisen des französischen Hochadels. Das junge Basler Ensemble La Morra präsentiert eine Anthologie dieser höchst verfeinerten Kunst instrumentalen und vokalen Musizierens in der Frische und Unmittelbarkeit eines »Gartens der Freude«. Eine Koproduktion von Raumklang, Schweizer Radio DRS2 und der Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. |

The Triumphs of Maximillian contains songs and instrumental music associated with the German court of Holy Roman Emperor Maximillian the first.
The early sixteenth century produced European music of great power and innovation. Tthe best players and composers were increasingly mobile, and were aggressively 'head-hunted' from court to court. Nowhere was the resulting mix of styles and influences more clearly illustrated than at the German court of Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian the First. Old and new, polyphony and homophony, national and international, all blend together to produce a repertoire of great variety and richness. In music, as in the visual arts,
Maximilian was a patron of unusual discrimination: the volumes of woodcuts by Dürer and Burgmair, commissioned to ensure that the Emperor's fame outlived his reign, pay tribute to his artistic judgement, whilst the music of Isaac and Senfl, both in his employ, is in itself a great monument to him. |

Signum Records is delighted to announce the release of A Songbook for Isabella.
Isabella d’Este was brought up in the midst of an extremely active musical court. After her marriage in 1490 to Francesco Gonzaga Duke of Mantua she began to remodel the Duke's relatively modest musical establishment in imitation of that of her father, Hercule. She was herself a gifted musician and favoured above all the viol. Not only was the viol the favourite vehicle for aristocratic instrumental performance, but it was the ideal accompaniment to the voice.
Under Isabella’s patronage the tradition of improvised song accompanied by the singer on a lira da braccio developed into the frottola, shared between two, three or even four viols. In employing Italian composers, and herself performing their music, Isabella played a key role in the development of this new music, and of the consort of viole which developed alongside it.
This disc presents a selection of music from the circle of Isabella. The repertoire is centred around the Milliare Songbook - a hand written songbook compiled in 1502 by, or for, one Ludovico Milliare. This contains a wonderfully rich cross section of the vocal and instrumental repertoire loved by the d’Este family of Mantua. An attractive feature of the collection is the inclusion of sacred pieces, mostly non-liturgical and apparently intended for private devotional use.
The instruments used for this recording have been thoroughly researched by examining documented and iconographic evidence - for example contemporary paintings of the period. The custom-made viols are cannot be called "copies"; they are recreations using the best information and scholarship available. This CD offers a rare opportunity to hear the very different sound these instruments make - rather different from their more modern counterparts from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. |
