The term “Baroque” is now widely used to represent an era, an artistic style which includes architecture, music, painting, sculpture and other arts from the early 1600s until around 1750. However, in the context of music during that time, did you know that this term “Baroque” was used mainly as a criticism, to describe anything that is odd, unusual, going against traditional artistic rules? In a written review published in May 1734, an anonymous critic used “Baroque” to describe an opera of Rameau, complaining that the music lacked coherent melody, was filled with unremitting dissonances, constantly changed key and meter. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who was a musician and noted composer as well as philosopher, made a very similar observation in 1768: "Baroque music is that in which the harmony is confused, and loaded with modulations and dissonances. The singing is harsh and unnatural, the intonation difficult, and the movement limited...” Not until the year 1919, the term “Baroque” was used as it is intended nowadays.
 
SiaM vol. 8 will bring you back to the root of Baroque music, Italy during the early 17th century; thus the name for vol. 8 is “il Barroco” or Italian Baroque. You will be enjoying different compositional styles, for various instrumental combinations, from solo, duo to trio; by notable Italian Baroque composers such as Domenico Scarlatti, Antonio Vivaldi, Domenico Gabrielli, Giuseppe Tartini. Besides, the program also includes the famous keyboard concerto in F major by J. S. Bach which wonderfully captures the Italian spirit.
 
The concert is organized by Schubert in a Mug with support from the Goethe-Institut Hanoi and the Inspirito School of Music.
The concert will be broadcasted on Zoom and SiaM Fanpage at 8 p.m., June 14, 2021. Please join us!
