Fantasies, Battles and Dances
THE GOLDEN AGE OF CONSORT MUSIC
(1500 – 1750)

Presented by Music & Beyond and Traquen’Art

Exceptional event for Music & Beyond and Traquen’Art on the occasion of an anticipated return to North America, Jordi Savall is making “a first visit to Ottawa” for a musical incursion into the splendour of the Renaissance, a key musical period for the emergence of the viola de gamba and the viola consort*.

A world of discoveries
For the pleasure of all music lovers, Jordi Savall will perform with his ensemble Hespèrion XXI, a European program entitled “Fantasies, Battles and Dances – The Golden Age of Consort Music (1500 – 1750)”, a collection of works by 15 important composers from the Renaissance and the Baroque periods.

Note 1:  A consort of instruments was a phrase used in England during the 16th and 17th centuries to indicate an instrumental ensemble. These could be of the same or a variety of instruments. It can be used today to designate certain types of formations practicing an aspect of early music up to baroque music.
