Newsletter  February  2005

Lutz Kirchhof

This Newsletter presents two new programs arranged for the season 2005/2006:

LA BELLE LUCRECE (the cute Lucretia) a solo program for 24-stringed barock lute and 

WOL AUFF MEIN JUNGES TÖCHTERLEIN, (Get up my young little daughter), a duet with Martina Degen, here playing a brilliant treble viol.
In our time which increasingly is perceived as worrying and upsetting this intimate, merry and warm music can produce a balance to the outside world and pleasant thoughts for the audience.

LA BELLE LUCRECE

Dancelike Highbarock Luteart           

 

LUTZ KIRCHHOF,  Baroque Lute

 

The lute compositions of this program are upheld by sophisticated dance rhythms, which are presented in stylized forms which realize a universal dance existing beyond physical dancing. Due to the mystical ideas of ancient lute masters this music is able to express things which cannot be formulated by normal language. The listener will be brought into another world which exists far from everyday impressions to finest emotionality, clearness and harmony.
Both parts of the program start with very mysterious and subtle compositions. The following works are full of a sparkling joy of life and gallant sensibility.

Wol auff mein Junges Töchterlein

 

A musical journey through European lute music

Lutz Kirchhof, Renaissance Lute     &  Martina Degen, Renaissance Viol

 

The variety and liveliness of a musical epoch and its favorite musical instruments are presented in this program.
During the Renaissance in Europe there existed an intensive cultural exchange between all countries, produced by traveling musicians and students as well as culturally engaged royal houses.
Churches, cloisters and humanistic scholars gave to the music a spiritual form, which permeated everyday life, and refined the minds of its listeners.
Also in the present this music is able to unfold its influences and induce a feeling of joy and harmony.
