It is real honour to support the cultural activities
of the European Union Baroque Orchestra. In
search of talented young Europeans to interpret
baroque pieces, this Orchestra uncovers the most
beautiful gems of our musical heritage and the
diversity of its influences and sources of
inspiration. EUBO’s hallmark is this harmony between our musical
heritage and the vigour with which it is interpreted by young
performers. It is a harmony which arouses our curiosity and
stimulates our desire to rediscover this unique heritage. It feeds our
taste for music. It is also our best asset for defending the living
culture which is common to us all. As my friend Jordi Savall aptly
put it, ‘Giving a voice to this legacy, unique in its richness and
precision, ...cannot heal but revives the hope of healing’.
It is a pleasure to see how the European Union
Baroque Orchestra has become, since its
creation, one of the most renowned
ambassadors for music in Europe. Once again,
young talented musicians from different EU
countries come together for one year to perform
concerts across the continent. They bring baroque music, part of
our shared cultural heritage, to audiences and, what is more, they
are a living and compelling symbol of European integration. Joining
the Orchestra will be a personally enriching and professionally
inspiring experience for all involved. Their mission is not just to
delight audiences but also to embody the breaking down of borders
and the creation of unity from diversity which is at the heart of the
European Union’s approach to culture. I am very proud of the fact
that the European Commission has been continuously supporting
the Orchestra under the Culture Programme. For the coming tour
and concerts I sincerely wish the Orchestra and its members every
success and many enchanted audiences.
The residency of the EUBO in Echternach and the
series of concerts « Echter’Barock » will once
again make this historic town a centre point for
baroque music. If Luxembourg did not really
have a tradition in the domain of this musical
canon before, then the presence of the EUBO in
Echternach has definitely motivated us to venture in that musical
direction today. I strongly encourage our young music students to
acquaint themselves with this music and to be adventurous in their
musical studies. Not only does the EUBO provide an artistic
presence of the highest calibre, but a melting pot of young people
from different countries, cultures and traditions. I also salute the
first steps that the EUBO has taken to establish itself in the Greater
Region. Let us take advantage of this positive energy and cultural
enrichment that this can offer us. I hope that the young members of
the orchestra feel at home with us during their preliminary work so
that they can deliver their enthusiasm during their much anticipated
tours at the four corners of Europe.

Cultural Ambassador for the European Union
Each year EUBO offers talented young musicians from all over
the EU the unique opportunity to gain performing experience
which enables them to bridge with confidence the gap
between conservatoire study and the professional world.
Inspired and enriched by their experiences with EUBO, the
majority go on to perform regularly with most of Europe’s
finest orchestras and ensembles, and to teach in the world’s
most celebrated conservatoires.
The European Union Baroque Orchestra is like no other orchestra:
a veritable “harmony of nations” with completely new personnel
auditioned and selected every year. It is this ephemeral existence
which makes EUBO’s concerts so special and original: lively fresh
performances enjoying all the technical accomplishment of the
best young baroque musicians in Europe, allied to an infectious
undimmed sense of discovery and enjoyment.
Each EUBO season commences with audition courses in its
home city of Echternach in Luxembourg, where EUBO is proud to
be the “orchestra-in-residence”. The new orchestra comes
together in July for intensive training and rehearsals, followed
typically by about 35 public performances over the following six
months, planned as five international tours under the
inspirational guidance of Lars Ulrik Mortensen and fellow worldclass guest directors. Each tour is prepared by a different director
and concertmaster, exposing the young players, who perform on
period instruments, to a variety of influences and styles, and
widening their network of professional contacts. The five different
programmes, which cover many orchestral works central to the
baroque period, such as Bach Suites and Handel Concerti Grossi,
are chosen to complement each other and to broaden and
improve the emerging musicians’ repertoire, skills and
understanding. At the end of the year, the orchestra disbands and
the whole process starts all over again.
The tours take EUBO to all corners of Europe – from prestigious
city concert halls, to seaside summer festivals, to monasteries
nestling in autumnal forests, and to winter celebrations in
beautiful churches. Since 1985 EUBO has reached millions
through its 800 performances in 53 different countries, and
launched the careers of over 750 musicians. As well as all 27 EU
countries, the Orchestra has included many less-frequented
places in its tours, from Bosnia to Brazil, Gaza to Gozo,
Macedonia to Morocco, Soweto to Syria…
And at the centre of these great arcs of international travelling
EUBO has established residencies: most notably in Echternach in
Luxembourg, and in Amilly in France, Kloster Michaelstein in
Germany, Pavia in Italy, Gent in Belgium, and from 2013 in
London at St John’s Smith Square; each of them a centre of
excellence for baroque music.
Concert performances alone cannot sustain EUBO’s activities:
loyal corporate sponsors are essential, as are significant
contributions from the Ville d’Echternach and the Ministry of
Culture in Luxembourg, and above all a grant from the European
Commission’s culture programme. Flying the flag for Europe,
“EUBO is”, as EC President José Manuel Barroso says, “a perfect
symbol of the power of integration, a subtle and potent
instrument of harmonisation between people and nations”.
Inspired performance. Real experience.
“ All the technical accomplishment in the world
allied to an infectious, undimmed sense of
enjoyment and discovery. Rarely have I seen so
much smiling communication and listening
between musicians on a concert stage. EUBO's
concert was a delicate, joyous gem…
wonderful uplifting stuff.”

Music Academy in Malmö, Sweden. He is
now concertmaster for Concerto
Copenhagen and with them is involved in
concert tours to, for example, the
Musikverein in Vienna, Concertgebouw
Amsterdam, USA and Japan, and
recordings, with conductors such as Lars
Ulrik Mortensen, Paul Hillier, Andrew
Lawrence-King and Alfredo Bernardini. In 2009 Peter Spissky co-founded
a new orchestra, Camerata Øresund, with a group of the younger
generation of Scandinavian players. Camerata Øresund made its debut
in November 2010 with a series of concerts called ‘Bach on the Bridge’
(hinting at the Øresund bridge connecting south Sweden with
Denmark). Peter Spissky teaches baroque violin at the Musikhögskolan i
Malmö, Det Kongelige Danske Musikkonservatorium in Copenhagen
and gives masterclasses all around Scandinavia. In September 2010 he
was accepted at Lund University for doctoral research programme.

SIMON DUUS
Bass-baritone
EUBO celebrated Europe Day, 9 May 2012, with a concert at St John’s
Danish bass-baritone Simon Duus graduated in 2011 from the Opera
Academy at The Royal Danish Theatre as a
student of singing teacher Susanna Eken.
This season he has sung an acclaimed
Seneca in Monteverdi's L'Incoronazione di
Poppea at Københavns Musikteater and
concert performances of works by JS Bach
including the Mass in b minor and Wachet
auf, ruft uns die Stimme, Handel's Messiah
and Mozart's Requiem. He received a
Léonie Sonning Music Foundation
Scholarship in 2010 and was a student at the Académie Européenne at
the festival in Aix-en-Provênce, studying Mozart roles such as Figaro,
Nardo, Sprecher and Leporello. He has been coached by Fiona
McSherry, Rachel Andrist, Martin Isepp, Dominic Eckersley, Peter Berne,
Smith Square in London, at the invitation of the European Commission
and under the auspices of the Danish Presidency of the European Union.
Ouri Bronchti and James Johnson. He has participated in masterclasses
with Mikael Eliasen, Tina Kiberg and Mireille Delunsch. Handel roles such
as Zebul (Jephtha), Zoroastro (Orlando) and Re di Scozia (Ariodante)
are in his repertoire, but his debut at The Royal Theatre Copenhagen
was Shchelkalov in Boris Godunov, and throughout his education he has
been interested in works of the later composers.

“ The residency of the EUBO in Echternach and the
series of concerts “Echter’Barock” will once again
make this historic town a centre point for baroque
music….I strongly encourage our young music
students to acquaint themselves with this music.
Let us take advantage of this positive energy and
cultural enrichment that this can offer us.”
Octavie Modert, Minister of Culture, Luxembourg
EUBO’s residency and activities in Echternach are made
possible by grants from the Ville d’Echternach and the Ministry
of Culture in Luxembourg, in partnership with the Festival
International Echternach and Trifolion – Centre Culturel,
Touristique et de Congrès Echternach and in association with
the École de Musique Echternach and the Conservatoire de
Musique de la Ville de Luxembourg. In 2012 EUBO will be
performing in the ‘Grande Région’, including for the first time in
Bitburg, as part of the “Echter’Barock” series.
“ Echternach, the oldest town in Luxembourg
and situated at the heart of Europe, has
always tried to support the education of
young people. The multitude of associations,
sports clubs and cultural institutions and
organizations in our town is a testament to
this. So it is a pleasure to be involved in this
field on a European level, and offer young and
talented baroque musicians a residency in
Echternach, where they have the possibility to
show what they are capable of and deepen
their experience. I am delighted to announce
that the residency has recently been extended
for a further three years until 2015. The young
musicians are not the only ones to profit from
this symbiosis: the series of concerts
“Echter’Barock“ given annually by the
European Union Baroque Orchestra, in cooperation with the Cultural Centre Trifolion,
the Festival International Echternach and the
Ville d’Echternach, is an important cultural
enrichment for the city, and one which brings
profile and visibility to our cultural life, high
level international cultural contacts, and
supports local enterprises. It is an honour for
me to welcome the European Union Baroque
Orchestra back to Echternach for their 2012
concerts and to wish the Orchestra every
success for this year’s tours, to each individual
musician a fulfilling musical career and a good
memory of our town, and to all their listeners
a highly enjoyable concert experience.”
Théo Thiry, Bourgmestre (Mayor), Ville d’Echternach, Luxembourg

DANSE DES ZÉPHIRS
Concertmaster Zefira Valova
JF REBEL (1666-1747)
Les Elémens
Le Cahos – Loure: La Terre et l’Eau – Chaconne: Le Feu – Ramage –
Rossignolo – Loure – 1er tambourin – 2e tambourin – Sicilienne – Rondeau
We start this concert programme with probably the most shocking
movement of the entire repertoire of baroque music, namely Rebel’s
representation of chaos, of the world before creation, the first
movement of his suite Les Elémens. This movement depicts the darkness
before creation, by sounding all the notes of the scale simultaneously, in
an absolute discord: no order, no structure, the individual elements earth,
wind, water and fire have not yet emerged and there is utter chaos; as
the suite continues, gradually an order, a structure, is imposed on the
world. This piece of music is basically a tone poem. In my opinion, France
has always been the country where the illustration of scenes, images,
ideas or moods in music has had a particular value and I actually don’t
think the distance from Rebel and his Elémens to Debussy and Ravel and
their orchestral music is very far. EUBO will then perform music by
Charpentier, a contemporary of Lully. His responsorium Pour un
Reposoir is a sacred piece and again a ‘mood’ piece; it is not an
illustration of anything specific, but the music for the time in a church
service where reflection and contemplation is due. This is exactly what
this music evokes and should provoke and trigger.
(Air pour l’Amour) – Caprice (Rondeau)
MA CHARPENTIER (1643-1704)
Pour un reposoir H508
Ouverture – Tantum ergo – Quand les prestres auront chanté Tantum ergo –
Amen – Allemande grave
More illustrative music by Rebel follows, namely a piece of music where
Rebel shows the different styles of dance. Dance and dance forms in
France were in fact the basis of most instrumental music, and Rebel here
creates a kaleidoscope showing all the characteristic features of dances
like the gavotte, the menuet, the sarabande, the chaconne, before ending
the piece with a very happy and exuberant and virtuosic close that
brings the first half of the concert to an appropriate end.

Les Caractères de la Danse
[Prélude – Courante – Menuet – Bourrée – Chaconne – Sarabande – Gigue –
Rigaudon – Passepied – Gavotte – Sonate – Loure – Musette – Sonate]
Interval
JPh RAMEAU (1683-1764)
Opera Suite “Danse des Zéphirs”
dances from the operas Zaïs, Les Boréades and Platée
Ouverture – Entrée – Gavottes pour les suivants de Borée/pour Orithié –
Passepieds – Air andante – Les vents – Air pour Borée – Entrée de Polymnie –
Rigaudons pour les Zéphirs – Gavottes pour les Heures et les Zéphirs – Orage
The second half of the programme consists of a suite by, in my opinion,
the greatest French composer of all, Jean-Philippe Rameau. For this suite,
I have not selected dances from a particular opera but from three
different operas. We start with the overture from Zaïs, an otherwise
unknown opera by Rameau, which interestingly enough also begins with
a depiction of chaos. This looks back to the Rebel which opened the
concert, and again is music which begins completely unstructured,
completely confused, completely incidental and which then only gradually
assumes the form that we would expect.
The movements that follow are mostly about winds, hence our calling
the suite the ‘dance of the winds’, ‘danse des zephirs’. Many of the
selected movements are from Rameau’s Les Boréades and describe
winds of various intensity, ferocity and strength; others are dances
dedicated to the god of the north wind Borée, after whom the opera is
named. The suite ends with a bang, with a tempest from Rameau’s Platée

LARS ULRIK MORTENSEN
Director and harpsichord
ZEFIRA VALOVA
Concertmaster
When Lars Ulrik Mortensen began studying musicology at university, he
came across a book about English music for the virginal – he was
fascinated, and it led him to the harpsichord. It was love at first delicate
note: Lars Ulrik Mortensen decided to become a harpsichordist.
In 2006 Zefira obtained both her Bachelor and Masters degrees from
the National Music Academy in Sofia. Subsequently, she studied baroque
violin with Anton Steck and Lucy van Dael
and has been a prize-winner at several
international competitions. With Concerto
Antico she has performed at the Festival
de Musica Antiga Barcelona and at the
Oude Muziek Festival in Utrecht. In 2007
she initiated the foundation of the Sofia
Baroque Arts Festival. From 2003 until
2008 she was concertmaster of Classic FM
Radio Orchestra Sofia and the Sofia Festival Orchestra, and in 2007 she
was concertmaster with the Dutch National Youth Orchestra. She was a
member of EUBO 2008 working with Roy Goodman, Lars Ulrik
Mortensen and Enrico Onofri, and a concertmaster with EUBO under
the direction of Petra Mullejans in 2009, Ton Koopman in 2010 and
Alexis Kossenko in 2011.
He studied first in Copenhagen and then in London, becoming harpsichordist with London Baroque and Collegium Musicum 90. In 2004, after
a long association with the European Union Baroque Orchestra as
harpsichord tutor and guest director, Lars Ulrik Mortensen became its
Music Director. With EUBO in 2012, he will give 15 concerts in 10
European countries. A Financial Times reviewer, writing after a EUBO
concert, said “Mortensen is exceptional not just for his scholarship and
virtuosity at the keyboard, but also because he makes music with his
entire body and soul.”
In his home country Lars Ulrik is the artistic
director of Concerto Copenhagen (CoCo),
whose opera productions at the Royal
Theatre in Copenhagen have helped to
build a profile for the group nationally and
internationally. In addition to his work with
his “own” orchestras, Lars Ulrik also
performs extensively as guest director, soloist and chamber musician in
Europe, the United States, Japan and Australia, with distinguished
colleagues including Emma Kirkby, Susanne Rydén, Maria Keohane, John
Holloway and Jaap ter Linden. Lars Ulrik Mortensen’s many CD
recordings have reaped major awards. Directing Concerto Copenhagen,
his recent recordings include the complete harpsichord concertos by JS
Bach, Haydn piano concertos (with soloist Ronald Brautigam), as well as
symphonies by Danish composers Hartmann, Kunzen and Gerson.
Lars Ulrik Mortensen has received a number of prizes, among them the
Danish Music Critics Award, the Danish Radio DMA/P2 award, and in
2007 he received Denmark’s most prestigious music award, the Léonie
Sonning Music Prize. In 2008 he was made a member of the Royal
Swedish Academy of Music.
EUBO is pleased to launch its new
'residency partnership' with De Bijloke in
Gent, Belgium, with performances on
Friday 2 November and Saturday
15 December 2012.

BAROQUE SPLASH!
Director & violin Margaret Faultless
Concertmaster Mechthild Karkow
GPh TELEMANN (1681-1767)
Wassermusik ‘Hamburger Ebb und Fluth’ TWV 55:C3
Ouverture: Hamburger Ebb und Fluth - Sarabande: Die schlaffende Thetis Bouree: Die erwachende Thetis - Loure: Der verliebte Neptunus - Gavotte: Die
spielenden Najaden - Harlequinade: Der scherzende Tritonus - Der sturmende
Aeolus - Menuet: Der angenehme Zephir - Gigue: Ebbe und Fluth - Canarie:
When devising a concert programme to include works by the three
giants of the German high baroque, one is bound to include some of the
finest repertoire of the age and in doing so will create a celebration of
the sound world of the grand baroque orchestral style.
Telemann’s ‘water’ music, written for the centenary of the Hamburg
Admiralty, includes some representational elements but most of the
movements are wonderfully standard dance forms of the 18th century
with quirky, evocative, rather charming titles. Handel's Water Music was
famously premiered on a barge on the River Thames after King George I
had the idea of a watery idiosyncratic venue for an event.
The formality of the concert hall was clearly not so firmly established in
the 18th century, nor were rigid composing traditions. Many composers
re-worked their material for different combinations of instruments and
'arranged' pieces for different occasions; there was little or no precedent
for playing 'old' music so invention was the order of the day. Bach's
fourth orchestral suite began its life as a version for strings and wind –
and was only later reworked to include trumpets and timpani, and then
yet again adding a choir.
Die lustigen Bots-Leute
JS BACH (1685-1750)
Orchestral Suite No 4 in D Major BWV1069 (original version)
Ouverture - Bourree I & II – Gavotte - Menuet I & II – Rejouissance
Like Telemann and Handel, Bach explores the conventions of the French
ouverture during the first movement and then uses many dance forms,
all totally familiar to the audience of the day, some conventionally and
others with a delicious twist that breaks with convention, but all with the
genius that has kept his music alive for the past 300 years.

Concerto grosso Op 6 No 11 in B flat
Preludio: Andante Largo - Allemanda: Allegro - Adagio - Largo - Sarabanda:
The lionising of Arcangelo Corelli, known as ‘il Bolognese’, during his lifetime no doubt contributed to the revival of Rome as the European capital of
culture at the beginning of the eighteenth century.
Key elements of the spread throughout Europe of Corelli’s reputation were the continuous growth of major violin schools deriving directly or indirectly
from the school of “il Bolognese”, the adherence to his aesthetic vision by composers belonging to the operatic world which was increasingly in vogue,
and especially the continued commitment to popularizing his message abroad by those who had the good fortune to study personally with Corelli, (or
perhaps the unstoppable flight abroad of Italian violinists looking for new and more stable employment opportunities, still as timely as ever).
Largo - Giga: Vivace
G VISCONTI (1683-1713)
So listening to this programme you will come across many different European styles, from some of the most famous works of Corelli to those of lesserknown composers such as Pietro Castrucci, Giovanni Mossi, Giuseppe Valentini and Antonio Montanari; a rich mix of formal and aesthetic visions,
though all refined through the same profoundly Roman ‘filter’.
Concerto for two violins in B flat
Allegro - Grave - Presto sempre staccato
Maybe it is not true that “all roads lead to Rome”; certainly the experience of the composers featured in this programme is that everything starts from
the eternal city!

A CORELLI (1653-1713)
Concerto Grosso in D Op 6 No 4
The theme for this EUBO
programme is music in Italy around
1700 – music composed slightly
before the turn of the century,
music composed in 1700 and music
composed slightly after, together
forming a kaleidoscope of
instrumental music as might have
been heard in Rome at that time.
The programme begins and ends
with two suites by one of my
favourite 17th century instrumental
composers, Georg Muffat, who
throughout his life wrote a variety
of works for instrumental
ensembles. Some of his works were
composed in Austria before he went to Rome; some were composed in
France where the dance music of Lully and the instrumental performing
style at the French court was a great inspiration to him; and some
concerti grossi were composed under Corelli’s influence in Rome.
In these works we definitely hear the inheritance of Corelli but infused
with the very special warmth and intensity of Muffat’s language. Muffat’s
instrumental colours are less predictable than Corelli’s, one must say, and
the programme begins with one of my favourite movements, the slow
dark brooding introduction of the second Armonico Tributo concerto.
The concert ends with one of the most beautiful examples of the
passacaglia, the blues of the baroque, which really shows Muffat’s
emotional and musical and compositional powers to the very full.

Concerto Grosso in c minor Op 6 No 3
Largo – Allegro-Adagio – Grave – Vivace – Allegro
G MUFFAT
Sonata V in G from Armonico Tributo
Allemanda – Adagio – Fuga – Adagio – Passacaglia
We of course include also music by Corelli; his music formed the
‘standard’ of the day, music from which all other music took its inspiration,
and is in itself a model of perfection and the Italian language transformed
into inimitable music. And then we also have music by a talented young
provocateur, the Saxon Mr Handel, who visited Italy in a very early stage
of his life and was tremendously inspired by all the music he heard there,
not only the instrumental forms by Corelli and others but also by
contemporary opera.
We include two of his early works, one of which is basically a chamber
piece, a sonata, where the Corelli influence is very clearly audible. But we
hear Handel at the age of 22 or 23 already developing and evolving a
very personal musical language; his music is under Corelli’s shadow but
it’s very independent and gives a good inkling of what is to come in
Handel’s future life.

EUBO Development Trust
The EUBO Development
Trust would like to
thank the following for
their support
What is the EUBO Development Trust?
EUBO began its
association with Kloster
Michaelstein in 1990 and
has rehearsed and
performed in the ancient
monastery, now a
research institute for
early music, nearly every
year since. This long
partnership has enabled a
dozen of the world’s finest
baroque directors to work
in association with EUBO
at Michaelstein.
“ My profession is very
far from the tumult of
arms and from the
reasons of state that
cause them to be
taken up. I occupy
myself with notes,
with words and with
sounds. I exercise
myself in the study of
a sweet symphony:
when I mingle French
airs with those of the
Germans and the
Italians, it is not in
order to incite a war,
but it is rather,
perhaps, a prelude to
the harmony of so
many nations and to
amiable peace.”
Georg Muffat
The EUBO Development Trust supports young European
baroque musicians at the start of their careers as well
as specific areas of the work of the European Union
Baroque Orchestra.
Why support EUBO?
It can be tempting to think of arts sponsorship as
more worthy than necessary. After all, the world will
not stop turning if – in EUBO’s specific case – talented
young musicians do not get the chance to develop into
skilled professionals, with a lifetime of service to music
ahead of them. And does it really matter if we never again
hear the masterpieces of the baroque performed in a historically informed style? Or performed at all? It is not a new
argument. But the price of neglect is potentially far greater than a
few hundred unfulfilled lives.
To support EUBO is to make an active contribution to continuing the (as yet) unbroken line that, along
the way, has given us Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Stravinsky, Ellington and The Beatles. In just 100
years out of the last 2,000 (between 1650 and 1750) music burst its formal and imaginative shackles
to lay the groundwork for everything that has followed. A revolution, in the finest sense of the word,
made possible almost entirely through the enlightenment of a handful of private philanthropists.
There are many more headline-grabbing causes than EUBO, from natural disasters to avoidable
diseases to environmental projects. They are to be honoured and supported too. But as well as, not
instead of. Most of us, at some point in time, have dreamed of devoting ourselves to an artistic or
other passion. But for most of us, the insecurities of such a life make it unliveable. Respect, then, to
those who are so driven by their passion for music that they can live that life, in spite of everything.
And respect to those who choose to use a portion of their wealth to support them. To the incalculable
benefit of all of us.

JPh RAMEAU (1683-1764)
Pigmalion
Synopsis: Based on the myth as told in Ovid's Metamorphoses, the sculptor
Pigmalion creates a beautiful statue to which he declares his love. His
girlfriend, Céphise, begs for attention; Pigmalion spurns her and entreats the
goddess Venus to bring his statue to life. Magically the statue comes to life,
sings, and dances; Amour (Love/Venus) arrives and praises Pigmalion for his
artistry and faith in her powers. Celebrations follow, attesting to the power of
At first glance there is little in common between Henry Purcell’s semi-opera The Fairy Queen and Jean-Philippe
Rameau’s Pigmalion. They are not only divided geographically, but are born of different centuries, and yet both
are formed out of the turbulent maelstrom of musical styles that characterizes the end of the 17th century.
In the latter half of the 17th century it was French music, and specifically that of the court of Louis XIV that
dominated musical style and taste in northern Europe. On the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, Charles II
of England had created a musical establishment modelled on that of his cousin, Louis of France. His orchestra of
the ‘Twenty Four Violins’ was an exact copy of the ‘Vingt Quatre Violons’ directed with such flare and discipline
by Lully in Paris, and the musical directors appointed to the court by Charles were either French or immediately
sent to France to be educated in the French style. Much of the concert music that the young Purcell would
have heard in the London of his childhood and adolescence would have been French in style and inspiration.
No surprise then that Purcell’s earliest music has a Gallic flavour even while maintaining a quintessentially English
harmonic idiom. His dances skip to the beat of a Galliard and Courante and his vocal lines are ornamented with
the trills and inegalité of his continental contemporaries. By the late 1680s however, Italy was again to take up
the mantle of taste, and Charpentier was to return from his southern travels with an altogether new dramatic
impetus. He had met and studied with many Italian masters and returned to France with copies of new Italian
music which challenged the delicacy and restraint of the French court style. Carissimi’s more extravagant
harmonies were soon to be found in the collections published by Ballard in Paris, and Corelli’s sonatas were
enjoying huge success throughout northern Europe. This intrusion of passion, colour and virtuosity caused
consternation in Parisian intellectual circles, but there was to be no stopping the Italian invasion, and what
excited the palate of the French would immediately be tasted in England. Purcell would publish his sonatas in
the hope of profiting from the new popularity of Italian sonatas, and he would turn his vocal music towards the
theatre and the new passionate expressivity to be found in the fusion of the French and Italian styles. It is
exactly at this time, when Purcell was forced towards the theatre after the suppression of the religious musical
establishments by the new puritanical King William, that The Fairy Queen is created.

The Fairy Queen (abridged for EUBO by Dr Simon Heighes)
First Music: Prelude & Hornpipe
Masque of the Enchantments: ‘Titania’s Sleep’
The Fairy Queen, of 1692, is the last of the musical extravaganzas mounted in London’s Dorset Garden Theatre.
The text of the play that surrounds the music is relatively faithful to Shakespeare’s original, but the singers for
whom Purcell writes his music are not the actor/singers who might have been responsible for the core of the
play, but instead, the professional singers involved exclusively in the masque-like scenes of music. As such, they
have little of the original text and do not occupy any of the principal roles. As a result, the music can seem
somewhat divorced from its original inspiration, but what it lacks sometimes in specific context it makes up for in
humour and beauty. In our performance the music and the action of the play are condensed to their essential
elements of magic and of comedy and Titania herself will guide us through some of Purcell’s most inspired
writing from the secrets of the night and sensuality of the lovers to the bucolic extravagance of the mechanicals.

‘Now the night is chased away’
Masque of the Seasons: ‘Oberon’s Birthday’
Fast forward fifty years to 1748 and the musical transition is complete. In Rameau’s mature dramatic works little
remains of the delicate balance between recitative and arioso that characterises the Lullian style. The intimacy
of a music based so closely on the spoken cadence has given way to the dominance and virtuosity of the voice;
Pigmalion was written as a vehicle for one of the great stars of the Paris Opera of the mid-18th century, Pierre
Jelyotte. The ballet however, which had been an essential part of French dramatic music since the dancing days
of the late Louis XIV, is still very much present and now uses the full force and colour of the developed 18th
century orchestra. In Pigmalion we have all the power and beauty of the great Rameau ‘tragedies’ condensed
into one act of musical exuberance and perfection. So soon to be superseded by the new classicism of
Rousseau and Gluck, in Pigmalion Italian virtuosity dominates, the delicacy of the ancient French style is still
ever-present, combining in the culmination of the French baroque art; splendid, extravagant and marvellous.

HUW DANIEL
Concertmaster
Born in Glasgow, Paul Agnew received his musical education with the Birmingham Cathedral
choir and at the University of Oxford. On graduating, he joined the Consort of Musicke and
performed music from the Italian and English Renaissance. In 1992 he was auditioned by
William Christie, which proved to be a turning point in his life. Paul made his debut as a
soloist performing Hippolyte in Rameau's Hippolyte et Aricie, with Les Arts Florissants,
conducted by William Christie.
Huw Daniel was a pupil at Ysgol Gymraeg Castell-nedd and Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera, South
Wales, and continued his education as an organ scholar at Robinson College, Cambridge,
where he graduated with first-class honours in music in 2001.
He then studied at the Royal Academy of Music for two years,
learning the baroque violin with Simon Standage and the
modern violin with Hu Kun.
He became the performer of choice for the high tenor (haut-contre) roles of the French
baroque repertoire and was acclaimed in the major roles of Rameau's operas (Platée, Les
Boréades, Les Indes galantes). After a long association with Les
Arts Florissants, he is now their Associate Conductor and will
direct over 100 concerts in the next seasons.
In 2004, Huw was a member of EUBO, the members of which
formed Harmony of Nations and continue to play together
under this name; they released their first CD in 2007, and a
CD of “Bach Triples” is about to be released. He is a member
of the Irish Baroque Orchestra and the English Concert, and also plays with the Dunedin
Consort, the Sixteen, London Handel Orchestra, Retrospect Ensemble, King’s Consort, and
the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. As leader he works regularly with the
Orquestra Barroca Casa da Música, Porto, Portugal, Harmony of Nations, and English
Touring Opera’s baroque orchestra, and as guest-leader with EUBO and Barokkanerne
Oslo. Huw plays regularly with many chamber groups including Florilegium, the Feinstein
Ensemble and the recently-formed Truscott Quartet. Huw plays a violin by Alessandro
Mezzadri c.1720, on loan from the Jumpstart Junior Foundation.
As a soloist, Paul is regularly invited to festivals such as the
Edinburgh Festival, the BBC Proms and the Lufthansa Festival.
He frequently sings with orchestras such as the Berlin
Philharmonic, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra,
Orchestra of the Komische Oper Berlin, the Orchestra of the
Age of Enlightenment and the Gabrieli Consort and Players. He appears with conductors
such as Marc Minkowski, Ton Koopman, Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Philippe Herreweghe and
Emmanuelle Haïm.
Paul Agnew is also co-director of Le Jardin des Voix, Les Arts Florissants' academy for young
singers. This interest in the training of new generations of musicians has also led him to
conduct the French Baroque Youth Orchestra on several occasions, and he will make his
directing debut with the European Union Baroque Orchestra in December 2012 with a
programme of English and French music.
