The Ides of March ~ Camerata Ama Deus ~ Baroque Instrument Orchestra

The Ides of March: the name given by the ancient Romans to the mid-point of the month of March. Despite its association with the slaying of a certain would-be emperor, The Ides of March, as celebrated by the Camerata Ama Deus, will be a joyful reminder that spring is in the air, that  a new season of rebirth is at hand. Join the Camerata Ama Deus chamber orchestra, performing on period instruments, for an evening of lively Baroque masterworks guaranteed to evoke sunshine and warmth—and no more snow!

The concert will begin, appropriately, with “Spring” from Antonio Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. Composed in 1723, The Four Seasons (Le quattro stagioni) is Antonio Vivaldi's best-known work, and is among the most popular pieces in the classical music repertoire. The work is a set of four violin concertos, the texture of which is varied with each concerto, each resembling its respective season. Vivaldi’s plan was that each movement would establish a certain mood, against which narrative events could then play out. When it came to the detail of those occurrences—barking dogs, drunken dancers, buzzing insects—Vivaldi delivered elegance and originality where other composers had barely moved beyond crude animal-noise clichés. In addition, Vivaldi provided verbal instructions to the players: In “Spring” he asks the solo violin to play like “il capraro che dorme” (the sleeping goatherd) and the viola like “il cane che grida” (the barking dog).
