Tarantelle,
Villanelle, Frottole and
Tamurriate, Ensemble ONI WYTARS presents the music from 1600-1700 at
the royal court of Naples, an incredible variety of cultural
ingredients, from the very center of the Mediterranean sea, an
intriguing concert-programme.
The kingdom
of Naples, for
centuries a melting pot of different cultures, a bridge between moorish
and european culture and lifestyle, has left us a nearly inexaustable
multi-ethnic heritage.
Moors, Byzantines, Longobards, Normans, Spanish and Bourbons, they all
left their traces and, as a result, we have a blend of cultural
influences wich fascinates us with its exotic singularity. The
“Villanella alla Napoletana”, at the time, inspired composers from all
over Europe, among them numerous masters from the Netherlands, wich for
many years were employed at the royal napolitan court.
