During the early 18th century, London emerged as a prominent musical hub in Europe, captivating composers, singers, and instrumentalists. The fervor for musical theater drew creative talents to England, catalyzing a surge in chamber music production. Vastly popular with amateurs and ladies of high society. The receptive English audience, often active participants, became a boon for composers and publishers alike, bolstering a rich musical tradition. This sonata, probably by Francesco Geminiani (1687-1762), a pivotal Italian figure who settled in London, is a short and colourful piece, probably originally for violin. However, this transcription is presumed to be by the hand of Pietro Chaboud and is a true treat for oboists too.

Largo ai giovani ce vogliono portare avanti la vera musica, quella che non morirà mai. BRAVISSIMI.

An excellent performance. A true delight to listen.

Really beautiful sounds--so musical. In addition to the oboe solo and other instruments, I enjoyed seeing (and hearing) the theorbo. When I was in grad school for musicology at U Chicago circa 1980 I was a sometimes player with Mary Springfels and her Newberry Consort. A local luthier had made a theorbo for her band and as a fretted-instrument person I was asked to play it, which I was very happy to do. One fun part of that was taking public transportation from the Hyde Park neighborhood on the south side of Chicago to the performance venue on the north side while carrying this enormously long instrument case. I suppose people wondered what the heck I had in there! I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing more of your performances.

Beaucoup d'avenir pour ces jeunes musiciens talentueux.

Great job from Musica Gloria as usual. Amazing lute. It must a nightmare to transport. Edit: Oh no its not a lute it's a theorbo.

[@pekieboo]

Yes, a theorbo must be an annoying travel companion, by plane, train or automobile!

[@guidomagnano6297]

Nessun problema. Come potete vedere, il liutista ha la capacità di smaterializzarsi istantaneamente all’inizio del secondo movimento della sonata, con tutto lo strumento, per poi ricomparire magicamente nel terzo movimento… è una tecnica di teletrasporto che insegnano a Hogwarts.

[@pekieboo]

@@guidomagnano6297 Then I am very glad to know that they teach music as well as magic at Hogwarts! BRAVO! 🪄

[@namensrichtlinien1298]

[@brunooberkampf7576]

Me too, I know the e minor (Peters) ,but not this beautiful one .

[@EnsembleMusicaGloria]

@Bruno, if you send me (Nele Vertommen) a pm on Facebook, I'm happy to send you the pdf!

[@museprof]

The theorbist magically disappears for the second movement and magically switches to guitar for the fourth movement! 🙃

[@EnsembleMusicaGloria]

It’s incredible, right? 😂

[@luisviva5193]

EN QUE CATALOGO SE EN CONTRA ESSA SONATA? POR FAVOR INDIQUE O LIVRO O É UN ARRANJO DE OUTRA PEÇA DE GEMINIANI?
