Alejandro Marías, viola da gamba and direction

Three centuries of music Sopra La Spagna. Titles, in one way or another, allude to Spain. A program of Spanish music for viola da gamba composed in Germany, Flanders, Italy, England, France and Spain. Spain has been an important source of inspiration for music in very distant times and in very diverse ways, from the title of a mere plainsong to the musical nationalisms of the 19th and 20th centuries, passing through the folkloric elements that we find in the music of composers such as Domenico Scarlatti or Boccherini and for those dances that became Hispanic’s standard, such as the sarabande, the chaconne or the folía. This concert brings together an eclectic selection of Renaissance and Baroque music whose titles, in one way or another, allude to Spain.
