Hail, Queen
The revival of Spanish music from the 18th century is a reality in full expansion. In this concert, Musica Boscareccia, the ensemble of soprano Alicia Amo and violinist Andoni Mercero, return to Francisco Corselli, one of their favourite composers: after the secular songs and instrumental music of previous projects, their rescue work reaches religious music, which can be contrasted with that of his partner in the Royal Chapel, José de Nebra. The music setting of the Salve Regina will serve as a common thread and confirmation that the Italian style was well established and had continuity in the Spanish peninsula, as the works of Pergolesi and Antonio Soler come to show. A transcription for strings of Sebastián de Albero’s keyboard music completes the program.
