REDISCOVERING SPAIN
Fantasías, diferencias y glosas on XVIth and XVIIth Century Spanish Music
The routines of instrumental performance in past centuries did not go by merely reading the music written by the composers, but involves a re-reading of the original text and the transformation of the pieces: adding or removing voices, glosses, instrumentation or using characteristic motifs as a basis for improvisation or creation of new counterpoint. In this program Accademia del Piacere seeks the recovery of the main instrumental practice (Hispanic, in this case) and of the musical reading of the 16th and 17th centuries, keeping us away from the superficial interpretation of fantasías, diferencias & glosas—created at its time as mere examples of a practice— and focusing on pure creation and performance following true historicist criteria: the real aim and purpose of the musicians at all times.
