Music from the 17th Century

A wonderful concert at Epiphany: The Sun King Rises! 

Here is the description on the website: 

The Sun King Rises: Music in the Era of Louis XIV with Seth Castleton, baroque cello, Mary Findley, baroque violin, Paula Maust, harpsichord, J. T. Mitchell, traverso flute playing music from operas, trio sonatas and solo works of that time.

Some of the pieces performed:

Rigaudon (English) The Sailor's Dance from Dido & Aeneas by Henry Purcell (1659-1695)

Gigue, Sonata K. 89 (Italian/Spanish) by Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757)

Forlana, Entree pour une femme (Le Carnavale de Venise 1699) by Andrea Campra (1660-1774)


John and I met George and his two delightful friends, Anne and Norma from Catonsville, at the concert. And, as is our tradition, we had lunch next door at Au Bon Pain. The conversation was very interesting, of course.

George, Anne, Norma, and Christine

I hope to post another photo that includes John who was the photographer for the one above.
