Spooky Autumn II

Dark Autumn Music - Honeyspice

First movement of Albinoni's lovely concerto for oboe in D minor (opus 9, number 2). Note that the movement is titled "Allegro e non presto," that is, "Joyfully and not fast". Many contemporary orchestras play allegros much too fast for my taste. After all, "allegro" means happy or joyful, not fast. In this case, the composer evidently wanted to be sure that it was not played fast. And I didn't (because I can't play it much faster than I have done here, and wouldn't have even if I could). Performed on virtual instruments: Baroque oboe (Wallander Instruments), strings, and harpsichord.

Handel's famous «Sarabande» performed on a virtual Spanish Baroque organ using simply the Flautado (Principal) stop. ("Spanish Organ" freely available from: jlmonsite.chez.com/MonSite/Spanish%20Organ.htm).

This upbeat piece, from Jean-Baptiste Lully's « Le bourgeois gentilhomme», caught my ear while watching a movie about a serial killer who left behind a CD with this music on it at the crime scenes. I’ll spare you the details of how this music relates to the murders; but will say that one of the detectives googled the composer's name, and learned that when he conducted his music, he used a staff («baton») to pound out the beat on the floor. During one performance, Lully missed the floor and rammed the staff into his foot instead, which became infected, and he eventually died of gangrene. Ok, gruesome; but, the music is delightful, I think. Performed here on virtual instruments: strings for the first time through, woodwinds (recorders, oboes, and bassoon) the second time, and tutti the third time (with continuo and percussion throughout). Played on a wind controller (Akai EWI USB).

Fourth movement from Jean-Marie Leclaire's Flute Sonata No. 6 in E minor (from Opus 1), performed on virtual flute, harpsichord and cello, using a wind controller (Akai EWI USB). Heard this sonata played by Janet See (“The flutist of choice in baroque repertoire”) on Baroque flute at a recent master class at San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Was inspired to try my own interpretation; really a delight to play!

My very own interpretation of this wonderful Piece.
