This program will explore the structure of operatic arias as antecedent to the Italian instrumental forms.  Works for voice and harp by Claudio Monteverdi and sonatas by Dario Castello for violin and harp will explore opposites.  We most deeply appreciate the standard sonata form’s storytelling structure by comparison to its structural opposite, the wildly unstructured stylus fantasticus.

This program will contain a variety of music whose structure or style is of British origin.   It will feature traditional English, Irish, and Scottish ballads as they made their way to early American settings, as well as dance forms of England borrowed by composers from other European countries.  Featured will be baroque triple harp, baroque violin/fiddle, dulcimer, tin whistle, baroque flute, and vocalists.
