Welcome to Utrecht! Judging from the quality and the enthusiasm of France’s young musicians, one would have to agree that the adventure of early music has only just begun. As the world’s largest early music festival, Utrecht holds the ambition and the responsibility to be the premier stage for research and creativity in our field. The case for French repertoire – still undervalued or even unknown outside its native country – and its many talented performers is one that Utrecht takes on with pride. From 27 August to 5 September, through over 100 concerts and events, the city of Utrecht will become a French enclave. At the heart of our programme: the grandeur and the intimacy of French Baroque music, for all to enjoy. Xavier Vandamme director

Bienvenue à Utrecht! Au vu des qualités et de l’enthousiasme des jeunes baroqueux français, il semblerait presque que l’aventure de la musique ancienne vient juste de démarrer. En tant que plus grand festival de musique ancienne, Utrecht a l’ambition et la responsabilité d’être le premier plateau pour montrer les recherches et la créativité du secteur. La défense du répertoire français – qui reste sous-estimé voire méconnu en dehors de la France – et de ses nombreux talents est, dès lors, une aventure que nous menons avec grand plaisir. Du 27 août au 5 septembre, avec plus de 100 concerts et événements, la ville d’Utrecht devient une enclave française. Au coeur de nos activités: la grandeur et la mélancolie du répertoire baroque français; pour le plus grand bonheur de tous. Xavier Vandamme directeur

Louis’ daily rhythm ‘Holding an almanac and a watch, one could tell exactly what the King was doing, even at a distance of three hundred miles,’ according to Saint-Simon. From the early morning until well into the night, the palace of Versailles was buzzing around its centre: the Sun King. Every day, he moved from room to room, traced by an excited throng of courtiers. In this Festival, mirroring Louis’ daily routine, every moment has its own character. 11.00 Le Conseil – Learn and discuss Lectures, demonstrations and a debate 13.00 Les Tendres Sentimens – Poetry Lots of Couperin, including three Hemsch recitals 15.00 Les Petits Riens – Chamber music The smallest forms: solos, duos and trios 17.00 Le Salon – Among friends Grand chamber music with some vocale surprises 20.00 Les Divertissements – Grandeur Operas, grands motets and orchestral works 22.30 Les Ténèbres – Reflection Lamentations with an inward-looking feel 24.00 Le Coucher – Intimacy Lute and harpsichord recitals before bed 7

Skip Sempé, harpsichord artist in residence
Clearly outspoken and radically original: Skip Sempé acquired a unique position within the world of early music. Unafraid to question everything, he has found a broad group of admirers. This comes as no surprise, since his ensemble Capriccio Stravagante has always been able to rejuvenate like a phoenix, operating like ‘a 17th-century atelier, where painters and instrument builders are both in control of the reigns’. During the Festival he will perform in four concerts, including the opening concert with Capriccio Stravagante – Les 24 Violons, a reincarnation of the eminently virtuoso orchestra of Louis XIV, dominated by the rich colouring of some peculiarly French string instruments: dessus, hautes-contres, tailles, quites and basses de violon.

Philippe Pierlot, viola da gamba artist in residence
Philippe Pierlot’s versatility is stunning: not only is he an exceptional performer, he is also a tireless researcher and advocate of unknown repertoire. Often, this leads to some exciting sidesteps, as during the 2009 Festival when he revealed himself to be an inventive player of the baryton, a mysterious gamba-like instrument with extra, hidden strings. If it hadn’t been for Haydn’s works for the baryton, he confessed, he would never had taken the trouble to learn this fiendishly difficult instrument. As a gambist, also, the hidden qualities of music bring out the best in him. Pierlot plays three concerts: a solo recital highlighting forgotten masters like Buisson, Machy and Hotman, and two with his own Ricercar Consort playing Couperin’s Pièces de violes and his evocative Apothéoses for Lully and Corelli.

Eugénie Warnier, soprano artist in residence
She was a shining star in Rameau’s Hippolyte et Aricie with the Nationale Reisopera, led by Jed Wentz last season: Aricie was one of her first great opera roles and garnered critical acclaim. French soprano Eugénie Warnier possesses everything to please: an amazing voice, plus a keen musical mind. Embraced by the powers that be in early music, but equally at home amongst her own generation, the avantgarde of French Baroque musicians. Learning from experience and expertise, she is one of the voices of the new sound coming from France.

Hemsch harpsichord 1751 instrument in residence
Original, antique harpsichords are for the better part silent. This year, the Festival welcomes the 18th-century Hemsch harpsichord as a guest of honour. Connaisseurs appreciate ‘the Hemsch’ as one of the premier French instruments – it has a personality, a unique voice, a soul. According to myth, this would even be the instrument that Jean-Philippe Rameau played. Paris-based Jean-Henry Hemsch supplied the instruments for Le Riche de la Pouplinière, the maecenas who took in Rameau and his family. The glorious instrument will be played in six recitals, always with François Couperin as point of reference. Conservator Anthony Sidey will give an introduction, while young professionals will be able to take lessons with the best teacher in the world: an original, 250-year old keyboard instrument, in the best of health. mon 30 aug, 11.00 Summer school / Sidey & Haas mon 30 aug, 13.00 Aurélien Delage mon 30 aug, 15.00 Workshop Hemsch mon 30 aug, 24.00 Laurent Stewart tue 31 aug, 13.00 Lars Ulrik Mortensen tue 31 aug, 24.00 Frédérick Haas wed 1 sep, 13.00 Paola Erdas wed 1 sep, 24.00 Blandine Verlet

The birth of the French orchestra
Recently, the instruments of the 24 Violons du Roy have been reconstructed. The famed string players of Lully’s orchestra – dessus, hautes-contres, tailles, quintes and basses de violon – offer a completely new sound to Louis XIV’s favourite music. This concert will offer opera fragments, orchestral and ballet music by Lully, Muffat, Marais and others.

Thus follow after the exuberance of the Baroque feast: intimacy.

La Risonanza with Fabio Bonizzoni Roberta Invernizzi, soprano Le goût italien
Lully is considered to be the founder of French Baroque opera, but before he gained that status, he wrote vocal intermezzi for his ballets still in the warm-blooded Italian aria tradition. Virile music, juxtaposed by Fabio Bonizzoni with Italian-inspired works by French composer André Campra, taken from his L’Europe galante.

Perhaps surprisingly, we have no knowledge of any grand motet by Couperin. Apparently, just as in his instrumental music, he stuck to smaller forms like the petit motet. He also took on even smaller gems: versets du motet or selected lines of chant, reworked into pearls of beauty for some of the most exquisite singers of his day.

Nobleman and amateur musician Vaudry de Saizenay collected late 17th-century lute music into an invaluable manuscript, since it contains more often than not unique copies of French works for lute and theorbo. Young French lute player Thomas Dunford chose music by de Visée and Marais.
François Couperin 1668-1733 composer in residence
Who else except François Couperin could be called composer in residence of a Festival on French Baroque music, especially given the amount of space reserved for keyboard music. As a member of a Parisian family of organ players, he not only inherited obvious musical qualities but excellent contacts as well. It didn’t take long for his exceptional talent to be recognized and for his career to take off. He took up a post as organ player at the Chapelle du Roy and would stay at court his whole life, as a harpsichordist and a composer, even after Louis XIV’s death in 1715. As far as we know, François Couperin never wrote largescale orchestral works, let alone opera. His strength was in smaller forms, which he improved upon with his own imagination. His keyboard oevre spans four books and 27 ordres, suites after a fashion where the dance movement gradually gave way to character pieces: often sharply defined interpretations of noted personalities and events. Couperin’s instrumental music stands out for his perfect fusion of the Italian and French styles. Finally, in his sacred music, he almost challenges the grand tradition of Versailles by chosing a more minimalist approach. With his breathtaking subtlety, Couperin won universal acclaim.

Baroque gesture, a theatrical sign language to support the vocal part, is a neatly specific as well as an often overlooked feature of the French tragédie en musique. Traverso player and conductor Jed Wentz presents his research in this field later this year, and put together a demonstration for the Festival with soprano Andreanne Paquin to show the remarkable effect of coming music with gesture.

Ensemble À deux violes esgales Music for two violas da gamba
Two violas da gamba was a favorite combination, and the specialty of Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe, who left a manuscript with 67 pieces for gamba duo. It also inspired Dubuisson, Hotman and Marais, who in turn get the two players of À deux violes esgales going, who will bring their son Thomas Dunford to play the theorbo.

None other than Virgil taught us: descending into Inferno is easy, escaping it is sheer impossible. Il suonar parlante touches on the deepest layers of melancholy in their performance of a number of Tombeaux, a favorite musical monument to say goodbye to a loved one, dead or not.

guitar
During the early 17th century, the French considered the guitar to be a lowly instrument. That is, until Louis XIV picks it up at age five and unleashes a new courtly vogue. This programme shows both sides of the guitar: country dances and courtly suites, as well as anonymous arrangements of opera fragments by Rameau and Lully.
Leçons de ténèbres The best music is melancholy music – nowhere else is this as clear as in the genre of the Leçons de ténèbres. The basis for these compositions are nine excerpts from the Lamentations of the prophet Jeremiah, bemoaning the fall of Jerusalem, the destruction of the temple and the exodus of the Jews. Traditionally, these texts were sung in plainchant in the monasteries in preparation for Easter, but starting in the 15th century composers begun creating a polyphonic repertoire. Without doubt, their most beautiful incarnations were written in 17th- and 18th-century France, where they became the elaborate Leçons de ténèbres as breathtakingly envisioned by the best composers. And once the services featuring these Leçons were moved from after midnight to the afternoon, they became the society events of month. Each Ténèbres concert will feature a short newly-written composition by Daan Manneke, Bart Visman, Anthony Fiumara, Boudewijn Tarenskeen and Max Knigge.

In the course of the 18th century, the Baroque suite and its stylized dance movement lost power to multimovement character pieces portraying personalities or traits. François Couperin was one of the first to introduce this new way of instrumental writing, inspiring many of his contemporaries.
Eugénie Warnier, soprano Julien Léonard, viola gamba Arnaud De Pasquale, harpsichord Airs de cour The introduction of the air de cour coincided with the development of cultured life at court. These songs, tastefully but modestly accompanied, highlight their poetry and invite subtle ornamentation, a practice in which young French soprano Eugénie Warnier is well-versed.

Local and international partners Deciding on the Pandhof as the new Festival centre, the Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht chose a heart right in the city centre. The garden, surrounded by the Dom, Academiegebouw and Dom Square are an ideal backdrop for the heritage the Festival stands for. During the Festival, the entrance to the cloists will even get a golden touch thanks to an intervention by visual artists Jan de Jonge and Henk van der Feest, supported by City Marketing Utrecht. By opening the doors of their Pandhof, Utrecht University, marks the start of a renewed collobartion with the Festival. In the very near future, the relationship will be even closer when the Humanities faculty and the Festival will co-sponsor a yearly fellowship for a promising researcher/performer who will teach and also curate the STIMU sympsium. Culturesfrance and Maison Descartes are the worldwide keepers of France’s cultural heritage. This year, thanks to the unprecented concentration of French musicians in Utrecht, they have decided to support the Festival as one of their central cultural activities for 2010. Another example how the Festival aims to be anchored: internationally, nationally but also firmly in the province and city of Utrecht.

Made in Holland: showcase early music (in Dutch) Utrecht may be the world’s biggest and most internationally oriented early music festival, quality doesn’t have to be found far away. Wednesday 1 September, Muziek Centrum Nederland hosts a showcase during the Festival Oude Muziek, aimed at programmers, agents and other music professionals. Five mostly young Dutch early music groups show how early music can fit any concert season. To start the afternoon, attendees can take part in a seminar explaining how to best include early music, since it’s all in the art of presentation. The showcases and the seminar are free for professionals, and the Festival invites them to attend the Holland Baroque Society concert later that day in Vredenburg Leidsche Rijn.

Debate: the enigma of France (in Dutch)
Utrechts Centrum voor de Kunsten concert no. 56
€5 in dutch
coproduced with Tumult Debate Centre
Even though almost a million Dutch vacantioners visit la douce France every year, both countries have a hard time understanding eachother. In a serious but lively debate, several guests who should know will try to pinpoint the basic differences. Until the sixties, the Netherlands were enamored with France, so where did it go wrong?

Motets for Montmartre

with Sébastien Daucé
Montmartre harbored Paris’ most worldly convent. Here, daughters from the city’s wealthy class received their education. Antoine Boësset took care of the musical aspects, and it turns out we should ascribe numerous anonymously pubished pieces to his pen. Charpentier and Moulinié complete the picture.

Jean-Paul Fouchécourt, tenor Florence Malgoire, violin Olivier Baumont, harpsichord and fortepiano Les salons de Paris The 18th century saw the rise of the salon as a stage for the most interesting musicians of their time. Their hosts joined in the performances at the highest level, as evidenced by the song and chamber music written for these occasions. Jean-Paul Fouchécourt is the ideal singer for this especially refined and spirited genre.

Les Agrémens with Guy Van Waas Pierre-Yves Pruvot, baritone Pour l’opéra
After some struggle, the complex harmonic structures of Rameau’s operas gave in to lighter Italian melodics toward the end of the Baroque, but what would lie beyond? Les Agrémens plays a varied program of opera fragments of the new generation including Gossic, Rigel and Gluck, who didn’t only survive this musical revolution, but also the events of 1789.

Les Passions, Les Éléments
with Jean-Marc Andrieu Soloists: Anne Magouët, Vincent Lièvre-Picard, Bruno Boterf, Alain Buet
Gilles: Requiem, Lamentaties Gilles probably didn’t intend it this way, but his Requiem was played at his own funeral, after his death at age 37. Soon, his mass would be one of the most popular settings, but after being used for Rameau’s funeral, the manuscript disappeared. Choir and orchestra, led by Jean-Marc Andrieu, perform the reconstructed Requiem, as well as Gilles’ Lamentations.

The grand motet was his strong suit, and several dozens can still be enjoyed, but of Leçons de ténèbres he left us only three: delicate music for soprano solo showing a different side from this versatile composer.

lute
Before the harpsichord won the hearts and minds of the French, the lute was the foremost instrument for intimate situations. Denis Gaultier and his students François Dufaut and Jacques Gallot were the stars of the Paris salons, where their dance suites and free compositions proved a final flourishing for the instrument.
Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles Since 1987, France boasts a top-class early music institute: the Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles (CMBV) defends the immense musical heritage of the 17th and 18th centuries, bringing together researchers and performers in an operation to document, publish, teach and perform French music. From the beginning, individual composers have received the most thorough attention, starting with Jean-Baptiste Lully, resulting in music publications, concerts and opera performances and CD recordings. In over 20 years, the oeuvres of Charpentier, Du Mont, Lalande, Campra, Marais, Rameau, Mondonville, ClÊrambault, François Couperin, Gossec and many others have thus been unlocked. The centre has as its base the restored Hôtel des Menus-Plaisirs, formerly the office of the forces behind the spectacles of Versailles. Often, their own ensembles like Les Pages & les Chantres were the first to present new discoveries on stage. For the 2010 edition, dedicated to Louis XIV and his family, the Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht has entered in a close partnership with the CMBV. In this collaboration, resulting in a number of productions, the two institutions have found strong partners in each other. www.cmbv.fr

Chansons révolutionnaires
After the fall of the Bastille in 1789, proponents and detractors of the monarchy adopted song to vent their feelings, such as the Complainte de Louis XVI to the tune of Père Jacob, and on the other side the Hymne pour le 14 juillet by Philidor. Les Lunaisiens pay a moving tribute to the revolutionary chanson.

Starting with Henry IV, the French kings were born to the grave under the sounds of Eustache du Caurroy’s Messe des morts (1590). This magnificent opus would, however, be the last example of the ‘old’ polyphonic style in France. Soon, less complicated music would be written, like le Jeune’s Messe ad placitum (1607).

Free fringe concerts Outside of the official programme, the Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht offers numerous free fringe concerts every day, performed by young musicians, some still in their studies, some starting out their career in early music. These concerts are a welcome addition to the already charged Festival schedule and may be a step towards a concert in the official programme of Festival or Season. The concerts take place in historic venues all over the historic centre and last generally 45 minutes. Due to the often very small venues, free tickets must be obtained at the Festival Box Office (max. 2 per person) on the day of the concert. Afterwards, the musicians will ask for a voluntary contribution. The complete fringe programme will be published on www.oudemuziek.nl, as well as in the August issue of the Magazine and the pocket-sized Festival overview.

Symposium French Baroque Gesture 1675-1800 Theater Kikker
The three-day STIMU symposium is dedicated this year to the art of gesture in French Baroque theatre, opera and dance. Parallels and differences between the genres will be explored, as well as the consequences of the use of gesture on timing, tempo and expression of the performer. A number of lectures and demonstrations will feature an international gathering of researchers, musicians, authors and dancers, all specialists in their field. Among the speakers: • Graham Sadler (University of Hull): Reconstructing the union of music, movement and gesture in the ballets figurés of two Rameau-Cahusac operas • Jennifer Thorp (New College, Oxford University): Expressive dance in Dubos’ ‘Réflexions critiques’ • Sabine Chaouche (Oxford Brookes University): Pastiche on the French Stage • Jed Wentz (artistiek leider Musica ad Rhenum): Affect, Rubato and Gesture at the Opéra

seizoen oudemuziek Oct 2010 through May 2011
Early Music from October through May Can you not wait until the start of a new Festival Oude Muziek? Well, you don’t have to, because our concert season 10/11, starting in October, offers a wide range of repertoires and artists until May 2011. 19 tours will visit some 40 concert venues throughout the Netherlands and Flanders, making a season of 114 early music concerts from Machaut to Schumann. The performers can be making their debut, or be world-famous, but always fascinating and of the highest level. We offer, among others, Philippe Herreweghe’s Collegium Vocale Gent, the Gesualdo Consort Amsterdam and Trio Hantaï. In connection with the Festival, the season has taken on a French Baroque accent with performances by harpsichordist Aurélien Delage, ensemble Ausonia and Frédérick Haas, Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien and gamba duo Les Voix humaines. For Amsterdam and Utrecht, we’ve put together a day entirely devoted to the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, as well as a special series of concerts in five picturesque castles combines a guided tour and a concert.

Romantic music for winds Reicha, Danzi, Onslow, Crusell
Anton Reicha is the godfather of the wind quintet, after he introduced the genre in Paris in 1820. His expressive style was a clear inspiration for his students: Berlioz, Liszt and Gounod would grow to be the avant-garde of the romantic period. Osmosis places this Czech innovator among his contemporaries.

Lute music with balls Bach’s lute oeuvre is just two hours long, but size says nothing. The music is incredibly complicated, and playing these arrangements of music for different instruments asks everything from tis performer. This unlikely duo of a musician and a juggling artist represents the highest level of virtuosity in both fields.

J.S. Bach: Art of the Fugue In his Art of the Fugue Bach struck a delightful balance between creative erudition and musical pleasure. He just left us the notes: of the instrument supposed to play them he said nothing. Il suonar parlante took up the challenge and performs Bach’s final large work with a quartet of viols and a Silbermann piano – an innovation that pleased Bach at the end of his life.

The Schumanns at the Dutch court Songs and duets
When the Schumanns visited the Netherlands in 1853, they found an enthousiastic and lively audience. In The Hague they tied a friendship with the gifted Madeleine Gräver, a court musician to queen Sophie. The young ladies of Trio Luscinia couldn’t resist and play some of her music, as well as works by Clara and Robert Schumann themselves.

Royal Consorts Lawes and Jenkins
This season, we’re proud to present the new ensemble around violin star Sophie Gent. They make their debut with 17th-century English court music by Lawes and Jenkins. The first wrote music as capricious as his short life – he died outside of battle during the Civil War – while the latter reached a very high age, bridging the gap between the Renaissance consort and the Baroque sonata.

Diminuties & ostinati Bassano, Ortiz, Virgiliano etc.
Ornaments come in all sorts and shapes, and especially during the Renaissance, musicians enjoyed making them ever smaller, ever more complicated. Saskia Coolen and her colleagues continue this tradition of improvising on a repeated bass line, while presenting a few inventions of her own.

Aurélien Delage is one the young harpsichord poets coming from France, be it in the music of Champion de Chambonnières, founder of the French keyboard school, d’Anglebert who arranged music from Lully’s operas, or François Couperin and his character pieces. No matter the repertoire, Delage lends his performance a unique colour.

In mynen zyn
Polyfonie by Alexander Agricola 15ht-century polyphonist Alexander Agricola based his Missa In mynen zyn on one of his own love songs: a craftful work that is a strong match for his ingenious Marian motets. Capilla Flamenca invited an accordeonist to incarnate Agricola and show how a chanson can grow into a four-part mass through invention, improvisation and composition.

Alessandro Scarlatti and his contemporaries 1725, Napels: after the death of the great Alessandro Scarlatti, his final instrumental pieces were carefully collected in a manuscript, which also contained music by two other composers. Who were his forgotten peers? Per Flauto battles as much for Scarlatti as for his colleagues at court Francesco Mancini and Domenico Sarri.

The motets surrounding it are also devoted to Mary and show some of the tricks Josquin had up his sleave to surprise his colleagues. This music is in the best of hands with maestro Herreweghe.

Sainte-Colombe, Marais, Rameau etc. Les Voix humaines have a reputation for being true musical acrobats and were ven compared to jazz saxophonists. In La Reine Soleil, however, they stay firmly with the Baroque with an ode to one of the greatest eras for the viola da gamba. Masterful music by Sainte-Colombe and Marin Marais, his best student, are paired with works by famous contemporaries.

Et la fleur vole
17th-century dance tunes by Ballard, Guédron etc. Dance tunes are timeless: their contagious melodies, texts and dance patterns have always brought together all layers of society. In the early 1600s, they were a huge influence on the more refined airs de cour, so it is fitting to put the two traditions side by side. The young Musicians de Saint-Julien mix up country and court.

French or German Baroque music Early music nestor Gustav Leonhardt asked to play two different programmes: one with French music by Forqueray, Louis Couperin, Duphly and Balbastre; the other in the German style with Bach, Böhm, Pachelbel and Fischer. Of course, we couldn’t deny such a request. Get ready to be surprised by the choice of the master.

Partnerships Over the years, our concert season has developed into strong partnerships all over the Netherlands and Flanders. This year, two further partners have been added to the list. The Palais des Beaux-Arts BOZAR in Brussels, as Belgium’s largest concert hall, has been working for years on their early music programming. Offering residencies to Philippe Herreweghe, Paul Van Nevel, Philippe Pierlot and Jos van Immerseel, BOZAR has taken a central position on the European early music stage. Their association with the Festival Oude Muziek and concert season is a token of appreciation and a sign of international engagement. Another partnership has been concluded with the Amsterdam Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ. This concert hall promotes a rich musical offering with a keen eye for the current developments. Early music stands proudly next to music from today, a deep relationship that will be confirmed in a langlasting collaboration between both institutions.

Reductions The reduced rates for Vrienden is available for two tickets per concert. If you have a CJP/youth card, a student card of a U-pas (Utrecht only), you can benefit from even cheaper tickets. Subscriptions and series In the Festival, several series are available, as well as a large number of subscriptions per (combined) venue in the season. During the season, it is especially interesting to visit concerts in different venues: if you order tickets for at least 4 concerts in the season, we’ll give you a 15% discount (valid for every person ordering 4 or more concerts). When you order online, please use the reduction code to activate this discount. Zones and placing A number of venues has different zones, where ‘Rang A’ offers the best view of the musicians, while ‘Rang B’ are usually the somewhat less attractive seats. In the Festival, most concerts are sold per zone, area and seat, however lectures, workshops, several concerts and almost all concerts in the season are sold without placing. Your ticket will always reflect this.
140
