PROGRAMME

A seventeenth-century rolling stone

Georg Muffat: Concerto grosso no. 5 in D major “Saeculum” froM Auserlesene Instrumentalmusik / Sonata no. 4 in E minor from Armonico Tributo / Suite no. 2 in G major “Laeta Poesis” from Florilegium Secundum / Concerto grosso no. 6 in A minor “Quis hic?” from Auserlesene Instrumentalmusik / Concerto grosso no. 5 in G major from Armonico Tributo

Georg Muffat was born in Megève, in southeast France, in 1653. After studying in Paris, he was organist in two French towns, Molsheim and Sélestat. He then left to study Law in Ingolstadt, in Bavaria, subsequently living in Vienna, Prague, and he established himself for 10 years in Salzburg at the service of the Archbishop. In 1680, he travelled to Italy and, from 1690 until his death in 1704, he worked as maestro di cappella for the bishop of Passau, in Germany. This Scottish descendant, nowadays presented, depending on the prevailing vogue, as German, Austrian, French, and even Italian, is a gifted precursor of what will become, during the 18th century, the mixed style: Italian ingredients, French aesthetics, German construction. With her return to the Torroella Festival, the violinist Amandine Beyer, at the head of her group Gli Incogniti, presents this new monographic programme devoted to Georg Muffat’s music.
