A BAROQUE TREAT!
Written by: Kate Lovell
On Thursday 3 September, Waikato Universitybased duo Lara Hall, violin and Rachael GriffithsHughes harpsichord, will present a programme of Georgian violin music full of elegance, drama and spontaneous flair. At the heart of the programme are a set of 18th-century English sonatas by Joseph Gibbs. The sonatas include a great variety of styles, taking the listener on a journey with many entirely unexpected twists and turns. Gibbs’ sonatas are accompanied by pieces by Playford and Handel which encompass a wide spectrum of English music and social strata. The works by Playford have a connection to the British Isles fiddle tradition and English country dance music; while the Gibbs sonatas are from the town of Ipswich, Suffolk, where Gibbs associated with the painter Gainsborough. The music of Handel brings in the fashionable world of London musical circles.
