Full programme

The main character is the German and Italian sacred music of the Baroque period, enhancing the encounter between the voice, the historical organ of the Church (Traeri 1761) and the natural trumpets. Of ancient origins (but certainly used until Beethoven), the natural trumpet is twice the length of the “modern” trumpet and, compared to the latter, it does not have “pistons” or other mechanisms that allow production of all the notes, but only of the “natural” harmonics of the scale in which the instrument is intoned: all the sounds that are emitted are selected exclusively with the labial ability of the performer.
