Courante


Published on Jun 4, 2015 Patrizio Politi

Looks like a Waldorf Q Phoenix edition on top & Q rack on the site. Googlish translation of the following below.

"Nonostante l'incredibile vastità di generi e di autori contemporanei, è indubbia la monotonia musicale (in tutti i sensi) e artistica di cui s'intridono pedestremente gli stessi, propinando allo sfinimento e per mezzo degli altrettanto numerosi marchingegni mediatici, inutili soluzioni tematiche affiancate da sterili quantomai vetuste pratiche armoniche.
È auspicabile un ritorno ai salotti letterari per coltivare e far rifiorire una "nuova" cultura musicale, e non solo.
La sterilità delle opere contemporanee è ri-corrente, quivi la scelta di proporre un brano del repertorio cameristico di Adriano da Santa Maria.
Nasce ad Assisi nel 1674 e all'età di 6 anni si avvicina al clavicembalo e all'organo, divenendo presto organista e compositore attivo presso la Basilica di San Severino Cicerchia. La produzione è limitata ma tuttavia molteplice; uno stile contrappuntistico assai personale caratterizza la raccolta dei componimenti liturgici, così come i quartetti d'archi, i trii con basso continuo, le suite per raganella e le altre opere richiestissime presso le Corti dei nobili distribuiti tra Miralduolo e Cannara.
La "courante" in stile francese composta intorno al 1715, non ha rigidamente il carattere della danza, financo per i numerosi spostamenti d'accento, le progressioni tonali e la libertà nella struttura, ma distingue le peculiarità del Santa Maria.
Ordunque, buon ascolto."

Googlish:

"Despite the incredible breadth of genres and contemporary authors, it is undoubtedly the musical monotony (in every sense) and artistic production of which s'intridono slavishly the same, propinano exhaustion and by the equally numerous media gimmicks, useless solutions themes flanked by barren which seem obsolete practices harmonics.
Hopefully a return to the literary salons to cultivate and revive a "new" musical culture, and more.
The sterility of contemporary works is re-current, there the decision to propose a piece of chamber music of Adriano from Santa Maria.
He was born in Assisi in 1674 and at age 6 approaches the harpsichord and organ, and soon became organist and composer active in the Basilica of San Severino Cicerchia. Production is limited but nevertheless manifold; contrapuntal very personal style characterizes the collection of liturgical poems, as well as string quartets, trios with continuo, suites for tree frog and the other works in great demand at courts of nobles distributed to Miralduolo and Cannara.
The "courante" French style composed around 1715, has not strictly the character of the dance, finance for several shifts of emphasis, progressions and tonal freedom in the structure, but distinguishes the peculiarities of Santa Maria.
Ordunque, good listening."
