Music in Cold Climate: Sounds of Hansa Europe - CD Launch Concert

The sea-faring nations of 17th century Northern Europe were closely connected, trading everything from iron, wool, books, salt and soldiers, to music and ideas. In this programme, northern musicians look to one another for inspiration; with music by Buxtehude, Staden, Dowland, Bertali and Dietrich Becker alongside Andrew Keeling's new commission Northern Soul.

Echoes of the Danube: the flow of Habsburg Power

Power and influence flowed from 17th-century Vienna and across the Holy Roman Empire. The Imperial capital was a hub of Italianate music and culture, with many musicians recruited directly from Venice and Rome. It is no surprise that archives across former Habsburg lands include works by Italians such as Rigatti, Rovetta, Sances, Pandolfi- Mealli and Bertali. Emperor Leopold I was himself an excellent composer (a second son, he was never expected to rule so was trained in all the liberal arts). His Regina coeli is an expressive testament to the far-reaching influence of Italian music. Composers from north of the Alps could evertheless flourish in this environment, as evidenced by the success of contrasting composers like Muffat, Biber, Johann Schenck and the Franconian kapellmeister Johann Staden.
