The Festival Oude Muziek celebrates its birthday with the most beautiful and at the same time most obvious treat we could think of: a sparkling Festival brimming with music from before the earliest Middle Ages to the late Baroque.

It all centres on Rome, the city that is the founda-tion for our culture in so many ways. We still build on its Antique legacy, we can still feel the effects of its eventful history, from which we only have to cite examples as the Renaissance, humanism and the Papacy as a new power on the international stage and the Counterreformation as emblems.

The musical developments that accompanied all this movement is still largely hidden under the surface. As the world’s biggest early music festival, Utrecht wants to be an advocate for this unknown repertoire, or for music that we only think we know. Palestrina is one of those key composers in dire need of rehabilitation. But also in the cases of Du Fay, Frescobaldi and Corelli there’s still plenty to discover. Roma – città eterna promises some unforgettable moments, but you won’t risk the black hole after-wards. From October on, we continue.. during our concert season 11-12. Welcome to Utrecht, and enjoy!

Giuseppe Maletto, tenor

Artist in residence

Giuseppe Maletto was part of the wave of Itali-ans washing over early music in the 90s, revitali-zing so much music. They brought their sou-thern temperaments, but also a more expressive approach than that of the reigning northerners, thanks to their direct contact with Italian poetry and all its nuances.Maletto contributed primarily as a singer, first with Concerto Italiano, La Venexiana and other ensembles. At the same time he developed into a researcher and an artistic leader. His Cantica Symphonia are at the forefront of performing Du Fay, while he explores secular repertoires with his Compagnia del Madrigale.But still: Maletto will never be just a conductor, because he is a singer at heart. Exceptional as this seems, it is exactly how it should be. A sign of his modesty, but also of his incredible know-how.

Diego Fasolis, conductor

Artist in residence

Conductor Diego Fasolis combines exceptional technique and unsurpassed knowledge of the repertoire with a huge list of accomplishments. Voices are his passion, whether he accompa-nies them at the harpsichord, if he works with them to put together an exquisite madrigal or if he invites them for a project with his own I Barocchisti. His efforts have been rewarded with numerous prizes for his recordings.Fasolis owes his prominent place in Utrecht mostly to the energy he devotes to Palestrina. He spends hours unlocking the hundreds of masses and madrigals that appear step by step with Edizione Nazionale, like working on a cathedral that he may not see completed himself, a tribute to a composer who is in seri-ous need of defenders like Fasolis. The Festival could not wish for a better guest.

Veronika Skuplik, violinist

Artist in residence

Violinist Veronika Skuplik might just have been born in the wrong era. The 17th century is clearly her home, a period of elegant flair and sharp contrasts. Suavità combined with an almost unpolished musical power.Where many violinists take the fact of leading as their core principle, Skuplik operates from curiosity. Of course she still plays first violin this Festival, for instance with Concerto Palatino, L’Arpeggiata and her own La Dolcezza, but she takes on that role discreetly, as a prima inter pares.Her almost vocal playing lends a special patina to the Corelli sonatas she will perform in Utrecht. After peeling off all layers or out-of-place ornamentation, she recalls the early days of the virtuoso, full of poetry and poise. The fact that she built the most creative program-me around these pieces, with vistas of Ger-many and England, is more proof that we’re dealing with a truly Baroque spirit.

Italian harpsichord, anon. ca. 1670

Instrument in residence

Italian harpsichords come in various sizes and forms, but their typical light build and limited proportions guarantee a very recognizable sound. This anonymous Neapolitan instrument was built around 1620/40. It is a rare privilige to have this musical treasure available for almost the entire Festival Oude Muziek, and to hear it being played by international top players like Pierre Hantaï, Laurent Stewart and Francesco Corti.

With special thanks to Historisch Centrum Het Markiezenhof, Bergen op Zoom

Carlo Russo organ, 1713

Instrument in residence

The Roman organ literature from the 16th and 17th centuries is exceptionally rich, even though it is hardly played – or well understood. During this Roman Festival, we would like to change that, but that would only be possible with a suitable Italian instrument tuned in meantone. This small jewel, built in 1713 by Carlo Russo, with just 6 registers, will be installed in the Nicolaïkerk, where it will shine all day on 1 September.

With special thanks to Robert Kohnen

New: Carillon Festival Oude Muziek

From the start, the Dom carillon has played a major role in the Festival Oude Muziek: following the ringing of all the bells, there would always be a concert to open the Festival, and more concerts would appear during the 10 days, always with arrangements of music related to the Festival’s themes.

This year, we take the next, logical step: the carillon will be the subject of its own Festival Oude Muziek. With carillon concerts by established and starting carillonneurs, a debate about the future of the carillon, visits to the playing chamber high up in the tower and a special tour of the bells for child-ren.

There is another circumstance that coincides with the Festi-val’s 30th birthday: city carillonneur Arie Abbenes will say his current post farewell. To mark this transition, he will play a festive programme with recorder player Saskia Coolen before formally saying goodbye on the Dom Square. The new Caril-lon Festival thus becomes a present from the Festival Oude Muziek for its parting carillonneur, who in turn can present it to the city and the many early music lovers who visit.

Naturally, the 1664 Dom carillon built by the brothers Pieter and François Hemony features prominently. But also a se-cond Hemony instrument, the lighter carillon of the Nicolaï-kerk, will sound in the new Festival.

The ‘distance’ between Utrecht and Rome isn’t that big. Many native artists hazarded across the Alps to witness the experiments of the Renaissance up close. Musicologist Madeleine Pfund and art historian Sara van Dijk discuss the relation between music and the visual arts of the era. After the duo lecture, you can visit the exhibition Utrechters dreaming of Rome for free. (see also p.77)

Cantica Symphonia / Giuseppe MalettoDu Fay: Motets

Cantica Symphonia won general acclaim for their complete recording of Du Fay’s motets. Giuseppe Maletto based his interpretation on his own in-depth research, not hesitating to include instruments for extra effect. Often, Du Fay would mark key moments in 15th-century Italy with his music, as was the case with ‘Nuper rosarum flores’ to commemorate the consecration of Florence’s Duomo. Today, Utrecht can enjoy the result.

This quartet of soloists, including soprano Raquel Andueza, has been winning audiences for southerns repertoires for decades. Spanish composer Victoria, one of the most important foreigners in Rome and the successor to Palestrina at the Seminario Romano, is of course far from unknown. But the same cannot be said for the striking vesper psalms on this pro-gramme, that have only recently been rediscovered.

Mister Zwoei lives in a workshop full of flutes. Then four dolls are delivered, that might come alive through music. But they’re not playing what mister Zwoei wants.. maybe the audience can help? The musicians play 25 different flutes. The daily things gain musical meaning, and funny things happen on stage and in the music.

The Sixteen / Harry ChristophersPalestrina: Missa Assumpta est Maria en Maria-antifonen; Allegri: Miserere; Anerio: Magnificat etc

The Sixteen enjoys a worldwide reputation as one of the finest performers of Renaissance polyphony.

Edizione Nazionale delle opere di Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestina

In 2003 verscheen het eerste deel van wat een gloed-nieuwe opera omnia van Palestrina moet worden. Het redactieteam onder leiding van professor Francesco Luisi bewandelt hierbij een andere weg dan de voorgaande twee complete Palestrina-edities, die in de 19de en de 20ste eeuw werden gepubliceerd. Naast een versie in moderne notatie biedt de uitgave, behalve het facsimile in de oorspronkelijke mensurale notatie, ook een zogeheten ‘semi-diplomatische’ versie. Daarin is de presentatie in partituur gecombineerd met belangrijke uitvoerings-praktische elementen uit het origineel. Hoofddoel: Palestrina’s muzikale ‘handtekening’, die met de omzet-ting naar een modern notenbeeld verloren ging, weer in ere herstellen. Sun wordt de enorme muzikale nala-tenschap van Palestrina toegankelijk gemaakt voor een bredere groep dan alleen de muziekwetenschappers, met als gedroomd resultaat dat het werk van de Principe della Musica vaker zal gaan klinken.Hoewel er van de geplande 49 delen nog maar 3 zijn ver-schenen, maakt het Festival Oude Muziek meteen ernst met dit streven: nagenoeg alle concerten met muziek van Palestrina zullen worden gezongen uit de nieuwe editie. Missen, Motets en Madrigals van de renaissance-meester komen in niet minder dan 11 concerten tot klinken. De ervaring van Palestrina-specialist Diego Fasolis: ‘We ba-seren nu al onze uitvoeringen op dit materiaal, en nu pas kunnen we doordringen tot de essentie.’

Caldara succeeded Handel as the maestro di cappella at the Roman Ruspoli residence. The manuscript at the heart of this programme is from that period. Diego Fasolis selected some polychoral psalms for choir and orchestra and takes a spacial approach: the musicians are placed at 4 different locations in the church, creating magnificent dialogues between choirs and soloists.

Free fringe concerts

Outside of the official programme, the Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht offers numerous free fringe concerts every day, performed by young musicians, some still in their studies, some starting out their career in early music. These concerts are a welcome addition to the already charged Festival schedule and may be a step towards a concert in the official programme of Festival or Season.The concerts take place in historic venues all over the historic centre and last generally 45 minutes. Due to the often very small venues, for some ven-ues free tickets must be obtained at the Festival Box Office (max. 2 per person) on the day of the concert. Afterwards, the musicians will ask for a voluntary contribution. The complete fringe programme will be published on www.oudemuziek.nl, as well as in the August issue of the Magazine and the pocket-sized Festival overview.

Fabulous Fringe

Fringe concerts that we found especially noteworthy have a place in the series Fabulous Fringe. Everybody at 3.30, Lutherse Kerk, Aula, Doopsgezinde Kerk, Vre-denburg Leeuwenbergh, Domkerk, St. Willibrordkerk, Pieterskerk or Museum Speelklok offer a stage for the most promising ensembles and soloists.

These concerts are also free, but free tickets must be picked up beforehand at the Festival Box Office. Only available on the day of the concert, maximum 2 tickets per person.
