The might of the trumpet is depicted in conquests fought not only in the field but also in the bedroom and beyond. The war/love battle is highlighted in Melani’s Cantata for trumpet and voice All’Armi, Pensieri, and also in arias by Scarlatti. The voice is lifted in praise with the exquisite Nigra Sum Sed Formosa for voice and violin by Merula. Joy and exultation are expressed in virtuosic instrumental works by Biber and Castello. Featuring Tessa Miller [soprano], Martin Phillipson [natural trumpet], Ben Dollman [violin], Hilary Kleinig [cello] and Glenys March [harpsichord].

In the Baroque era, the practice of improvising new melodies above a repeated bass pattern became widely popular. Ground bass or basso ostinato is to classical music what a riff is to popular music. This concert explores the many ways that composers used this technique in producing some of the most engaging music. Featuring Emma Horwood [soprano & harp], Jayne Varnish and Lynton Rivers [recorders], Emma Luker [violin], Catherine Finnis [gamba/cello] and Glenys March [harpsichord].
