The Chamber Music Cycle of Auditorio de Tenerife presents the concert Una notte d'amore by the Aede Ensemble.

 

Love is one of the great universal themes, a source of inspiration for creators and artists of all times and cultures. We want to celebrate Love with a programme that includes different musical miniatures with some of the jewels of love poetry in Spanish interspersed among them, only to culminate with the Cantata d’Amore*  (Love Cantata) by David Krivitsky, which will be performed for the first time after its debut in Moscow in 1984. Music and poetry to open a window to love in its many facets and forms.

 

Dutch Renaissance poet Johannes Secundus (1511-1536) wrote his collection of poems in Latin, Basia (Kisses), which in turn inspired several subsequent poets of different origins, such as Sannazaro, Ben Johnson, Meléndez Valdés, and Jean Bonnefons. The first translation into Spanish was done by the Pre-Romantic writer and humanist Graciliano Afonso (1775-1861), born in La Orotava. Beso XVIII (18th Kiss) by Johannes Secundus served as the basis for the composition of the Cantata d’Amore  (Love Cantata) by Russian composer David Krivitsky (1937-2010), the central piece of this concert. It is a cantata for a mezzo-soprano voice, narrator, viola d'amore, and chamber ensemble in seven movements.

Auditorio de Tenerife ofrece, dentro de su Ciclo de Cámara, el concierto Una notte d'amore del Aede Ensemble.

 

El amor es uno de los grandes temas universales, fuente de inspiración para creadores y artistas de todas las épocas y culturas. Queremos celebrar el Amor con un programa que recoge diferentes miniaturas musicales entre las que se intercalan algunas de las joyas de la poesía amatoria en lengua castellana, para culminar con la Cantata d’Amore* de David Krivitsky, que será interpretada por primera vez tras su estreno en Moscú en 1984. Música y poesía para abrir una ventana al amor en sus múltiples facetas y formas.

 

El poeta renacentista holandés Johannes Secundus (1511-1536) escribió su colección de poemas en latín Basia (Besos), que inspiraron a su vez a diferentes poetas posteriores de diferentes orígenes, como Sannazaro, Ben Jonson, Meléndez Valdés o Jean Bonnefons. La primera traducción al castellano fue realizada por el escritor y humanista prerromántico Graciliano Afonso (1775-1861), natural de La Orotava. El Beso XVIII de Juan Segundo sirvió de base para la composición de la Cantata d’Amore del compositor de origen ruso David Krivitsky (1937-2010), la obra central de este concierto. Se trata de una cantata para mezzosoprano, narradora, viola d’amore y grupo de cámara en siete movimientos.
