The Muses Fine Arts: Candlelight Salon

  • Long Shadows Winery Woodinville Tasting Room (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

In Greek mythology, the Muses were the embodiment of artistic inspiration, presiding over music, poetry, and dance. At Long Shadows, the Muses take form through our white wine collection: Poet’s Leap Riesling, Dance Chardonnay, and Cymbal Sauvignon Blanc; each a sensory expression of grape, vintage, vineyard, and the art of winemaking.

This intimate candlelight salon brings those inspirations to life through an evening of vocal music drawn from some of opera and choral repertoire’s most beloved moments. Performed in close company, the program invites guests to experience the same harmony, emotion, and creativity that define both great music and great wine.

Join us for this special evening featuring acclaimed vocal soloists from Seattle’s Evergreen Ensemble under the artistic direction of David Hendrix.

Giovanni Legrenzi was one of the most important composers of the seventeenth century, being awarded the post of maestro di cappela at St. Mark’s in Venice, a post held by Claudio Monteverdi, Giovanni Rovetta, and Francesco Cavalli during the first half of the century.  La Morte del Cor penitente is one of three surviving oratorios by Legrenzi, composed around 1671 when he was the leading opera composer at Venice.  Musica Transalpina is proud to present the first known American performance of this obscure work to commemorate four centuries since the composer’s birth.

Ferrara and the Madrigal with Tesserae Baroque

For its second season concert, Tesserae explores the flowering of the madrigal in Ferrara at the end of the sixteenth century. Under the patronage of Duke Alfonso II, the Estense court became one of the musical gemstones of late Renaissance Europe. Its institutions included the famed concerto delle donne, the elite ensemble of female professional singers who performed at the renowned musica secreta (the court’s private music). In addition to court composers such as Luzzasco Luzzaschi (Frescobaldi’s teacher), many of the most highly-esteemed composers of the period—from Willaert to Gesualdo—had strong ties to the court. This program displays the rich musical tapestry of the city through the madrigal, accompanied by instrumental music that shows a flair for the experimental and the avant-garde.
