pixel TWO VIOLIN SONATAS FROM CORELLI‘S OP. 5
* arranged for the harpsichord *


Two sonatas pixel
pixelArcangelo Corelli
Corelli’s twelve sonatas for violin and continuo (op.5) were first published in Rome in 1700, and with more than 40 editions to follow later in the century, they quickly established themselves as a classic of the genre. The first English edition came out six months later, while later still, in 1710, there appeared an edition in which the slow movements of sonatas 1-6 were extravagantly embellished in a manner said to be that of Corelli himself. Other virtuoso violinists of the period followed suit, and many such as Matthew Dubourg and Michael Festing devised variant versions of these same movements heavily laden with a variety of ornaments. So too did Maurice Greene and William Boyce in their harpsichord arrangements of sonatas 4 and 5.

These arrangements for the harpsichord of Corelli's violin sonatas 4 and 5 from Op. 5 date from c.1732. Their particular musical interest lies in the ornamentation in the two slow movements of each sonata.

pixel FROM ME TO YOU
* Four miniatures for piano *


Spitzweg
From me to you pixel
pixelPer Hartmann
Here is a little volume of four miniatures that I, the publisher of Edition HH, wrote as gifts. The first, Mit Gefihl, is a love song dedicated to my wife, whom I married 57 years ago. We had a beloved friend, Yvonne, who died far too young; we nicknamed her ‘Goldilocks’ because of her strikingly blond hair, and La Fille aux Chelox d’or is an attempt to capture her personality and wonderfully quirky sense of humour. The third piece is dedicated to myself, so naturally its spirit is Triste. Sixty years ago my father, Christian Hartmann, composed the songs for Klatremus Lillemann, the principal character in the popular Norwegian children’s play Dyrene i Hakkebakkeskogen. Christian was an endless source of beautiful melodies, so the extreme simplicity of the theme of Danse noble, written to celebrate his 69th birthday on 3 June 1979, was something of a joke between us.

pixel * MOTET for soprano, bass and continuo *

Motet: Benedicam Dominum pixel
pixelPietro Antonio Fiocco
Early in 2025 Michael Talbot identified as previously unrecognized compositions by Pietro Antonio Fiocco (1654–1714) a group of eight Latin motets scored, like chamber duets in the secular domain, for two voices with continuo. Six different combinations are used: two sopranos, soprano and alto; soprano and tenor; soprano and bass; alto and tenor; alto and bass.

Stylistically these motets ‘tick all the boxes’: consisting of between three and six contrasted sections, they are tuneful, feature captivating imitative part-writing — Fiocco was evidently an absolute master of counterpoint — and are rich and varied in harmonic content, and they express the meaning of the words (six of the texts are taken directly from the Psalms) with eloquence and panache.

Den lille danserinnen (‘The Little Ballerina’) evokes a charming, gracious, light-footed dancer, while Nocturne makes the piano sing in the romantic tradition. Both these delightful short pieces would be ideal encores!
