Ensemble Correspondances

Hidden behind the pages of music encyclopaedias are thousands of unknown muses and female musicians who lured composers into writing beautiful works. In Renaissance Ferrara, the Duke deliberately kept the songs of his 'Concerto delle donne' away from the printing presses. Vivaldi's Ospedale women did play for audiences but went down in music history anonymously, as did the singers for whom French stars like Boësset and Clérambault created bespoke works. Sébastien Daucé  breaks open the vault in which these gems remained hidden for centuries.

Introduction

Prior to this concert, Jan Van den Bossche will give a lecture at 19:00.

Find the women
One of the first composers in Western music history was a woman: Hildegard of Bingen, who lived in the 12th century. Despite the resurgence of interest in her music in recent times, women play a secondary role in the canon of music history. They are either subjects (Eurydice, Carmen), muses (Beethoven’s ‘immortal beloved’) or virtuoso singers like the divas in Handel’s operas. But female composers are hard to find. And if women did compose, they often did so anonymously or under the pseudonym of a man. This lecture uncovers the hidden stories of women in music history, from the ‘Concerto delle donne’ in Ferrara to the compositions of Fanny Mendelssohn.
