Moers. (pst) Zu seinen traditionellen Konzerten am 3. Adventswochenende lädt das Niederrheinische Kammerorchester Moers (NKM) ganz herzlich im stimmungsvollen Ambiente des Martinstifts (Filder Straße 126) ein. Die beiden Abende im Rahmen der städtischen Konzertreihe am Samstag, 16. Dezember, um 19.30 Uhr und am Sonntag, 17. Dezember, um 18 Uhr stehen ganz im Zeichen adventlicher Vorfreude. Musikalische Oase Mit Musik des Barock und der Frühklassik bieten die Musikerinnen und Musiker eine musikalische Oase in der oft hektischen Vorweihnachtszeit an. Nach einer facettenreichen Orchestersuite von Georg Philipp Telemann steht die mehrteilige Sopran-Kantate ‚Orfeo‘ aus der Feder des tragisch jung verstorbenen Giovanni Battista Pergolesi auf dem Programm. Die Zuhörerinnen und Zuhörer begleiten Orpheus auf seinem Weg in die Unterwelt, in der er seine geliebte Euridyke zurückgewinnen will. Krefelder Sopranistin Charlotte Schäfer zu Gast Der zweite Teil des Konzertes wird eröffnet mit Johann Sebastian Bachs Canzona BWV 588 in einer Bearbeitung für Streichorchester. Weihnachtlich wird es dann mit der Arie ‚Veni sponsa Christi‘ von Niccolò Jommelli und der ‚Pifa‘ sowie der Arie ‚Rejoice‘ aus dem ‚Messias‘ von Georg Friedrich Händel. Solistin ist die Krefelder Sopranistin Charlotte Schäfer, die sich im Konzertfach u. a. mit ihren Interpretationen und Aufnahmen barocker und frühklassischer Werke (darunter zahlreiche Weltersteinspielungen) einen hervorragenden Ruf erworben hat. Auch das Publikum ist eingeladen, zum Ende des Programms mit in den Gesang einzustimmen.

L'ÉDUCATION DE LA VIERGE par Bartolomé Esteban Murillo né à Séville probablement le 31 décembre 1617 et mort dans la même ville le 3 avril 1682 est un peintre baroque espagnol. Regardez "Niccolò Jommelli: 'Beatus Vir' Motet in A major" sur YouTube https://youtu.be/pbAJ_r1o2RY L'éducation de la Vierge est un thème de l'iconographie chrétienne qui apparaît au Moyen Âge mais se développe surtout à partir du xviie siècle, à la suite du concile de Trente (1545-1563). Il met en scène Marie apprenant à lire sous la direction de sa mère, Anne. Plus rarement, Anne enseigne la couture ou le tissage à sa fille. Joachim, le père de Marie, est parfois présent. #culturejaiflash https://www.instagram.com/p/CbHc7h3MT-p/?utm_medium=tumblr

Blog No.4

Opera Reform: Dissatisfaction arose in some quarters with the excesses of Italian opera seria—especially its predictable use of recitative and aria and its catering to solo coloratura (an elaborately embellished vocal melody) and other ornamental features that impeded the action. Consequently, some Italian composers began to move the genre in the direction of Jean-Philippe Rameau’s powerful and more integrated tragédies lyriques. Tommaso Traetta and Niccolò Jommelli, who worked at courts where French taste prevailed, often used orchestrally accompanied recitative (a technique known as recitativo accompagnato) to smooth the transitions between secco (“dry”) recitative and da capo aria. They also gave greater importance to ensembles and choruses, which had long been absent in opera seria.  

That dedication—a manifesto, really—is the central document of “operatic reform.” It stated that the “true office” of music is “serving poetry,” a goal hindered by the “useless and superfluous ornaments” with which the florid da capo arias were encumbered. Rather, a “beautiful simplicity” and naturalness of expression combined with emotional truth were to hold sway. In short, Gluck and his collaborators were responding to Enlightenment ideals and restoring opera, albeittemporarily, to its function as drama set to music. The most significant manifestations of these principles were the Calzabigi-Gluck Italian operas first staged in Vienna: Orfeo ed Euridice (1762), Alceste (1767), and Paride ed Elena (1770; “Paris and Helen”). The two earliest of these became even more stately and Rameau-like when Gluck reconstituted them to French librettos for Parisian audiences.

Co-stars & Rivals: V I T T O R I A T E S I

Stage name: La Moretta, La Fiorentina

Born: Florence, 13 Feb 1700

Died: Vienna, 9 May 1775

Voice: contralto

Personality: Vittoria Tesi was an Italian opera singer and music teacher of the 18th century, endowed by nature with a strong, masculine contralto voice thus she created many travesti parts, In 1738 she refused for a time to sing any more of them on the grunds that 'acting a male part is bad for her health'. Her operatic career began with performances at Parma and Bologna in 1716. By 1718 she was virtuosa di camera for the Prince of Parma at Venice. The following year she was at Dresden, singing for Antonio Lotti alongside Senesino and Margherita Durastanti, where she performed arias which are generally set for basses. By 1721 she was back in Italy for the Florentine Carnival, and for the next 26 years travelled Europe, with performances in Madrid and possibly Frankfurt. Italy, however, was the nation where she spent most of her time, dividing the years between its various cities. In 1725 in Naples, together with Farinelli, she premiered Hasse's serenata Marc'Antonio e Cleopatra. Her career peaked in the late 1730s and 1740s, when she sang alongside such singers as Caffarelli; in 1744 she took the title role in Gluck's Ipermestra and did the same in 1748 in his Semiramide riconosciuta, set to a libretto by Metastasio. This performance persuaded Metastasio of her merits, although previously he had been unenthusiastic, calling her a "grandissima nullità". After successful performances in Niccolò Jommelli's Achille in Sciro and Didone abbandonata (1749), both set to Metastasian libretti, Tesi began to retire from the stage. In 1751 she became costume director at the Viennese court, where she remained for many years, teaching music as a particular favourite of Countess Maria Theresia Ahlefeldt. Among her pupils were Caterina Gabrielli and Elisabeth Teyber, and she is known to have met not only Casanova but also Mozart and his father.

One fact: Tesi is said to marry a simple Italian guy, in order to fend off the advances of an undesired nobleman (according to Burney her husband was a "poor journeyman baker" who was picked off the street and paid fifty ducats for marrying the singer, "not with a view to their cohabiting together".)

One quote: “She was perhaps the first actress who acted well while singing badly" (Sarah Goudar)

One hit: Attendi ad amarmi  (Marc'Antonio e Cleopatra)

Da Lusciano a Grande Fratello 16: Francesco Pietro Motta in prima serata a Canale 5

LUSCIANO. Da un piccolo paese a Cinecittà. Questo è stato il traguardo raggiunto da Francesco Pietro Motta, 18enne campano della provincia di Caserta, che è apparso per la prima volta in Tv al Grande Fratello 16, condotto dalla “madre” storica Barbara D’Urso.

Da sempre con il sogno nel cassetto di fare televisione e cinema, Francesco, studia presso l’accademia di recitazione di Napoli “Show Time Academy”. Modello e fotomodello sin da piccolo, attualmente è studente al quinto anno del Liceo Sportivo di Aversa, “Niccolò Jommelli”. Abile e riconosciuto anche nello sport, l’aspirante attore è cintura nera Taekwon- Do ITF e Kick Boxing. Capelli lunghi e biondi, occhi vispi e castani, Motta si definisce ambizioso, carismatico, un po’ lunatico e permaloso. Con una determinazione che è virtù di chi vuol raggiungere i propri obiettivi, il bel 18enne è apparso in prima serata lunedì 8 aprile a Canale 5. In apertura del programma, Francesco Pietro ha ballato a bordo piscina con la collana floreale come concorrente fake. Un piccolo passo che però è già un traguardo per varcare la soglia del grande schermo.

“Questo weekend – afferma Motta- ho avuto la fortuna e il piacere di lavorare per e nel Grande Fratello. Apparire in prima serata, è stato qualcosa di unico. Sono entrato in casa ed ho partecipato al pool party. Vedere per anni dalla tv, la casa del GF e poi entrarci dentro, non ha avuto e non ha prezzo. Immedesimarmi nel concorrente ufficiale, mi ha fatto provare delle bellissime sensazioni, le quali spero di vivere sul serio in prima persona. Per adesso, va benissimo – conclude – il ruolo da figurante. Ora posso solo dire avanti tutta”.
