The Musis Christmas concert is dedicated to one of the greatest works of the Renaissance: the Marian Vespers by Claudio Monteverdi. A work with a special genesis. Monteverdi was well off at the sparkling court of Mantua. He played the gamba, composed plenty of madrigals, and wrote opera history. But what if he could trade the demanding Gonzaga dukes for a pope? As maestro di cappella in Rome, he would really be able to make his mark. The Marian Vespersdid not ultimately provide Monteverdi with a job in Rome, but they did become his calling card with eternal value. Andrew Parrott, the acclaimed pioneer of historically informed performance, sheds light on this colorful blend of ancient polyphonic church music and burgeoning baroque. Keywords: transparency, the human dimension and the resounding result of recent research. Exactly what the Bach Society still stands for in 2019.

English

Het kerstconcert van Musis is gewijd aan een van de grootste werken uit de Renaissance: de Mariavespers van Claudio Monteverdi. Een werk met een bijzondere ontstaansgeschiedenis. Monteverdi had het goed aan het sprankelende hof van Mantua. Hij speelde er gamba, componeerde volop madrigalen, schreef operageschiedenis. Maar wat als hij de veeleisende Gonzaga-hertogen nu eens kon inruilen voor een paus? Als maestro di cappella in Rome zou hij pas echt zijn stempel kunnen drukken. De Mariavespers leverden Monteverdi uiteindelijk geen baan in Rome op, maar werden wel zijn visitekaartje met eeuwigheidswaarde. Andrew Parrott, de spraakmakende pionier van historisch geïnformeerde uitvoeringen, laat zijn licht schijnen over deze kleurrijke mix van oude meerstemmige kerkmuziek en ontluikende barok. Sleutelwoorden: transparantie, de menselijke maat en het klinkend resultaat van recent onderzoek. Precies waar de Bachvereniging anno 2019 nog altijd voor staat.
