Giuseppe Tartini (1692-1770) Concerto in D minor for violin and orchestra Cl1l11pOSer, \'iolinist elnd theOt1st, Giuseppe Tartini, \I'ho \I'as born in Pirano d'istria in 1692 and died in Padua in 1770, was d cribed bv his contemporaries ,1S the '1vlaster of the 'ation's !\·1usic." It b maintained even todav, and with good reason, that Tartini \I'as the greatest Il, lian vio linist of the 18th (en-tUrI'. Further. he has left us an
array of composi-tions. In the almost 50 vears (from '172'1 to his death) thelt Tartini serl/ed dS Peldua's "principal violinist and concertmaster," the city became the center of a of \·john famed throughout Europe as the mecca of art and Illusica I science for voung instrumen-talists.
Antonio Vivaldi (1678 - l' ) Concerto in G Major, P. 129 for oboe, bassoon and strings
VIolinist and compos r, Antonio Vivaldi, was not unly one of the most famous 'virtuosi' of his time but also one of the first great experimenters in orches-tral ound.
For bassoon there are som 36 solo concerti, one for oboe transcribed for bassoon and one for these two instruments together - the work on tonight's program. The Concerto in G Major for oboe, bassoon and strings P. 129 (Pincherle) contains the best possible musical exploitation of these two solo instru ments, exquisite orchestral textures, expressive colors and a happy
integration of musical technique and lively imelgination. In addi-tion, it offers us a perfect exam-ple of the work of one of the great compositional geniuses of the Italian '1700s.
Giovanni Paisiello (1740 - 1816) Concerto in C Major for piano and orchestra Giovanni Paisiello is primanly recognized as a composer of op 'RlS admired for their robu t realism and dramatic power. Yet, of his more than 100 operas, only 7 have ever b en publi hed and onlv a few of these are rMely d. Among Paisiellcis prolific but fairly unknown compositions for instrumental combinations, there are 12 symphonies, 2 piano cnncerti, many string quartets and mixed 'tring and wind qUe rtets, e bund nt sonatas, rondos and capricci for piano nd violin, violin and cellu and other duo com-binations.
Ottorino Re pighi (1879-1936) Antique Airs and Dances for lute, Suite N. 3 for string orchestra A student of Martucci, T{inlSki-Korsakov and Max Bruch, an educator, soloist and orchestra conductor, Bolognese by birth but Roman by adoption, Respighi is one of the most illustrious representatives of the "generation of the 80s." Perfect examples of Respighi's experience in transcribing an-tique musi are the three suites for orchestra from the collection of Antique Airs and Dances for Lute. Written in 1917,1923 and 1931 respectively, these suites are each liberal elaborations of the original scores.
The Suite No.3 begins with an ltalialla based upon the elegant melody by Ignoto from the end
of the '16th century. It is followed by Arie di Corte, structured on ballet pieces written by Jean Baptiste Besard. The third part of the suite is a SiciliOlla, based
n a theme by an unkown 16th century composer and the fourth, a Passacaglia, is a series of variations on a theme taken from a volume of gUItar works by Ludovico Roncalli, published in 1692.
Giorgio Federico Ghedini (1892 - 1965) Concerto Grosso in F Major for five winds and strings Giorgiu Federico Chedini was b rn in Cuneo in 1892 and died in Milano in 1965. In spit of h is reticent nature, he remain< one of the most authoritative and prolific rep-resentatives of contemporary music to em rge from Italy. Ghedini bridged the gap be-tween the many different generations wh'ose contribu-tions were to shape the style of Italian music of this century. The Concerto Gros-o in F MaioI' fiJI' jipe wind instruments amt' strings, composed in 1927, is one of Ghedini's first works and recalls, not onl ' in the title and in its general structu re but also in its choice of linguistic patterns, the antique Italian instrumental traditions. A brief, solemn inh'oduetion precedes the Allegro con In'io; a piece of solid writing in its articulation and counter-balanced blocks. An identical structu re characterizes the following Andante l1Ioderato, while the Allegro mosso ed energico has the character of a "Scherzo" and expresses itself in a play of rich soloistic episodes. The Adagio offers a more airy and lyrical moment before returning, with the final
spiritoso "alla giga," to the preCIse atmosphere of the first two movements.

International Chamber Ensemble of Rome The International Chamber Ensemble was founded in 1980 by its Artistic Director and Conductor, Francesco Carotenuto, who together with a small group of Italian and non-Italian musicians wished to create a professional ensemble whose musical elasticity would make it possible to perform the vast repertory of chamber ensemble music, heretofore non existent in Italy. The Ensemble made its Rome debut under the pr stigious auspices of the Academia FiJarmonica Romana in April, 1981. Each year the Ensemble presents a sold-out series of concerts, providing a complete choice of music from the repertory of the three in-strumental formations p )ssible from within the En emble: thM of the symphony orches-tra, the chamber orchestra and the various chamber formatil ns. In addition to these popular series, the Ensemble is invited to perform throughout Italy on the stages of its most important con-cert associations, institutions and festivals. The Ensemble has recorded for th Italian 'ational Radio and Television network (the RAI) as well as for the Vatican Radio.
Francesco Carotenuto A recipient of numerous awards and scholarships for both his conducting and compOSitional achievements, Francesco Carotenuto holds the highly acclaimed "Diploma di Perfezionamento" from the National Academy of Music, Santa Cecilia, in Rome, where his musical training was shaped. His guest conducting ap-pearances are many. Maestro Carotenuto serves on the faculty of the Conservatory of Music, Santa Cecilia in Rome, a position he has held since 1975.
