Jean-Baptiste LULLY in his musical context : Paris in the  1660's

Jean Baptiste Lully - Marche pour la cérémonie des Turcs

The Little Light Consort - Estienne Moulinié/Fantaisie première Pour Les Violes

Le Poème Harmonique : Estienne Moulinié, l'Humaine Comédie. Alpha 005

Chanson Gasconne : L'auzel ques sul bouyssou

After trying several similar Raags, I found that Shankara Raag is this special emotion and structure needed for the exciting Sonatas in C by Valentini.


Giovanni Valentini Mix - Shankara Raga (Pt. Ragunath Talegaonkar)

Chaconnes can be in different talas and ragas, they are not bound to Ektaal and Gaud Sarang Type. Chhayanat is a most popular Raag in Europe it seems, at least in the version presumably developed by Tansen. It may even be influenced by European music first, but I have not yet found any mentioning of this in Indian texts.

Chhayanat Raag Mix - Omkar Dadarkar - Chaconne (Rebel) - Canzon IV (Gabrieli)

Sorry for deleting the previous one, this is even better.

Omkar Dadarkar - Shankara Raag - Valentini Sonata in C

I finally managed to put together a serviceable mix of Hamir and the infamous Enharmonic Sonata by Valentini. What a ride.

Valentini - Sonata in g - Priya Purushothaman - Hamir

In its didactic form, this Raga exercise exactly matches the development in Valentini's Sonata, also the weird enharmonic shift is made clear.

One of my fav's from my old set list, a cool baroque sounding piece by Jean-Baptiste Lully  

Air ~ Jean-Baptiste Lully

Hi, I'm Jean-Charles.
I'm a music lover, but you probably guessed that if you're here.
I am proud to be a "Ch'ti". For those who don't know, it means I come from Northern France, a land known for its values of human warmth, simplicity, and friendliness. That said, I was "adopted" by the Jura region. It was there, through the Besançon International Competition for Young Conductors, that I discovered classical music from a fascinating angle that deeply left its mark on me.
I love the diversity of music and cultures. I have a special affection for the recorder, opera, piano, zither, oboe, clarinet, trumpet, pan flute, and harmonica.
My goal here, through my reposts, is to offer you a journey through time and space.
In this regard, I want to express my immense respect for Pandora Records. Founded by Al Goldstein, this visionary label chose, after ceasing operations, to release its entire back catalog under an open license. A large part of the tracks I share here comes from this invaluable archive. Thanks to their generosity, we can rediscover these historical interpretations (often on period instruments) that might otherwise have been forgotten.
Thank you all for the talent you share here.
Wishing you great listening and happy discoveries!
