[@LucienMarine]

Renowned violinist and pedagogue, Arcangelo Corelli spent his entire career in Rome. He composed mainly for the theater, the church and at the service of cardinals. The Concerto « For Christmas Eve » is the most famous of the twelve concerti grossi which were published in Amsterdam a year after his death and constitute his last opus. With this collection, Corelli stands out as one of the first great masters, along with Giuseppe Torelli, of the concerto grosso. This genre eminently representative of Baroque aesthetics, plays on the opposition between a group of soloists the concertino composed of two violins and a cello then a larger string ensemble called ripieno whose numbers can be expanded at will and whose role is to punctuate or reinforce the intervention of the soloists. The eighth concerto in G minor is, like the first seven, a « church » concerto whose movements preceded by tempo indications in Italian alternate between slow and lively tempos, homophonic and imitative writing. The work (concerto da chiesa) is structured in six movements. The final Pastorale, which justifies its subtitle « For Christmas Eve » is linked to the last Allegro, contrasting by its tonality in G major and its tender swaying with of the musette sonorities. This Largo evokes the lovely nativities that the Italian painters of this period, such as Antonio Balestra and others, bequeathed to us. All the allegorical beauty is present in this piece prefiguring classical Harmony. *Lucien*

The second movement!!! It’s just so incredibly joyful. Especially in the cello part.

This makes me happy that I almost broke my wrist to bring joy to people Xd

@@ShoaibKhan-bz5qm haha your comment really made me laugh! I performed this piece last night (playing that cello part) and had a very similar feeling. When we first rehearsed it with all the repeats I thought I was going to drop my bow

[@LinCalc]

@@otherstrephon lol I performed this about a year ago as vln I solo and the 2nd movement wasn't too bad to play (although I had less notes XD) cello part sounds better than any other part in this movement imo. Great job cello friends!

Dal suono degli archi mi sembra un'esecuzione con strumenti moderni e anche il diapason, La 440 hz, mi da la conferma. Ciò non toglie che è una bella interpretazione, garbata e coerente, migliore di tante eseguite con strumenti originali. Ogni Natale e non solo in questa ricorrenza, ascolto questo stupendo concerto di Arcangelo Corelli. Buon Natale a tutti.

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

That is pushing it, but what is true is that of all the composers with whom I am familiar, Corelli goes for quality over quantity more than just about any other.

[@Transform-u2q]

@5:40 I walked down the aisle to this adagio. I first heard it when watching the film Master and Commander: The Far Side Of The World (one of my favorite films of all time) and thought it was one of the most beautiful pieces of music I had ever heard. I knew then that when I got married I had to have it played at my wedding.
