Corelli & Charpentier: Master of the Notes (2005)

Folger Consort celebrated the holidays in the beautifully decorated Folger's Elizabethan Theatre with two Baroque masters with Corelli & Charpentier: Masters of the Notes in from December 16 to December 18, and December 23 to December 25, 2005. Arcangelo Corelli (1653-1713) was, in many ways, the most influential composer of his time. Active as a violinist and teacher as well as composer, his six printed collections of instrumental music were admired and emulated all over Europe. Marc-Antoine Charpentier (c.1643-1704), although he never held a prestigious appointment at the French court, was influential in his own right, skillfully blending elements of Italian and French style in his tuneful sacred music and music for the stage.
