Baroque Sundays at Three presents “ANIMA: Roman Indulgences”
In the early to middle 17th century the powerful Barberini family dominated not only the political climate of Rome but the cultural climate as well. The Barberinis spent much of their fortune on musical and theatrical entertainments, employing many of Italy’s greatest singers, composers, artists, poets and thinkers in the Capella Giulia at Saint Peter’s and at palaces belonging to the family. Pope Urban VIII and his nephews Francesco, Taddeo and Antonio Barberini surrounded themselves with illustrious thinkers, artists, musicians and poets. With their penchant for opera and chamber music, the extended papal family mounted lavish theatrical productions, outdoor pageants, and sponsored private music. Our program will evoke the spirit of the Barberini era by exploring works of some of their favorite musicians, including Stefano Landi and Girolamo Frescobaldi. The Barberinis also influenced courts throughout Europe and ultimately the musical results of their patronage found an outpost among the French Aristocracy. Join us for this afternoon of eye-opening passionate music from Italy and France.
