We look forward to the return of Seicento vocale, the 2020-22 Stiftsmusik scholarship ensemble! The program idea for this hour is based on a sensitive topic: what music, what thoughts could accompany us on our transition to the world beyond? In works from the early Baroque and Baroque periods, we encounter intimate soundscapes between farewell and hope. The juxtaposition of German and Italian composers is interesting, with Jommelli (1714-74) also immersing us in Stuttgart's history. As Kapellmeister at the court of Carl Eugene from 1753 to 1769, the composer of 220 stage works created a period of cultural and historical splendor in Stuttgart and Ludwigsburg.
