Instrumental
Sonatas and Vocal Concerti from
17th Century
Germany & Austria
Join us and immerse
yourself in the sounds of period brass instruments, strings and voices

The Imperial
Chapel:
Chamber Music from
the Court of Leopold I
The Imperial Chapel
explores the various tonal color options available in the sound palette of a
17th century composer with rarely performed repertoire including instrumental
sonatas for natural trumpet and sackbuts by Antonio Bertali, Johann Heinrich
Schmelzer, Pavel Vejvanovsky and Philipp Jacob Rittler as well as sacred vocal
works by Flixi and Johann Joseph Fux. Many pieces on this program are
transcribed from the original manuscript found in the Liechtenstein Music
Collection of 17th century music from Kromeriz, Bohemia and Spiritus
Collective is committed to breathing life into these often neglected
masterpieces. Offering a rare glimpse into the typical virtuosity expected of
brass players working in the court of Leopold I in the middle of the 17th
century, the ensemble will also include acclaimed soprano soloist Jolle
Greenleaf, period strings, dulcian (a predecessor to the bassoon) and
continuo.
