Sadler & Conrad in Brno
From 07 October to 07 October Czechia / Brno
The duo Sadler & Conrad, an ensemble included in the prestigious pan-European program S-EEEmerging focused on the professional and sustainable development of young early music ensembles, is coming to Brno at the invitation of festival Concentus Moraviae. Since last year, this festival has been one of twelve partners in this ambitious project supported by the Creative Europe program. As part of their Brno residency, Sadler & Conrad will perform within the early music concerts series "Barbara Maria Willi Presents...", on Tuesday, October 7, at 7 p.m. at the Convent of the Brothers of Mercy, with a program entitled ROTATIONS / Spiralic entanglements between song and dance from Renaissance France.
A deep dive into the transfer of melodies between song and dance forms of mid-16th century France, explored in historical and original arrangements tracing the passing-down of melodies and forms over time. Incredibly dark but rich colour palettes, unique to this music, are enhanced by interweaving diminutions and improvisations. These elements are spun together and unravelled again as miniature sonic narratives in sets of song and dance suites.
Music found and linked through the collections of Pierre Attaignant (c.1494-c.1551), Jacques Moderne (1495-1562), Pierre Phalèse (ca.1510-ca.1575), and more. Featured composers include Claudin de Sermisy (c.1490-1562), Pierre Sandrin (c.1490-after 1561), Jacotin (early 16th century), and Pierre Certon (c.1510-1572), amongst a wealth of authors lost to time.
A special feature of this programme is the pioneering use of a tenor flute after 16th-century French flute-builder Rafi, specially built for Liane by Boaz Berney at the luxuriously low pitch of 392Hz, creating a unique and ethereal sound sphere.
