Corelli

1 As part of the series Music Before 1800, this church and the period ensemble Juilliard415 present Bach’s buoyant “Magnificat,” as well as Corelli’s “Christmas Concerto.”

2 The pieces in which Corelli developed this light-and- shade technique came to be known by the name of the larger group, concerto grosso, and subsequently the generic term ‘concerto’.

3 I’ve often wondered how taken aback Corelli, Bach, Schubert, Wagner, Stravinsky and other composers would be by the alien visions he married to their scores in mysterious but uplifting harmony.

4 La Risonanza's concert of Corelli's vocal works may have seemed to be a misprint given that he didn't actually write any.

5 In this ten-note example from Corelli, all the keyboard player has in front of him or her is the bass line notes, borrowed from the cello player, and those extra numbers above it.

6 The new Candlelight Concerts Orchestra brings some holiday elegance to the Eastside with this pair of performances, which will feature Corelli's Christmas Concerto and "Winter" from Vivaldi's "Four Seasons."

7 This 1957 work by George Balanchine originally featured a square dance caller whose cracker-barrel rhymes underlined the American verve in the choreography’s approach to music by Vivaldi and Corelli.

8 In a "further reading" postscript to the 2004 edition of Birdsong, the curious are directed to Pat Barker's Regeneration and, unaccountably, Captain Corelli's Mandolin.

9 The first half of the program also included Kreisler’s arrangement of Corelli’s Sonata “La Follia,” its Baroque character romanticized with robust piano chords and its trills played with languid elegance by Mr. Beilman.

10 Luciano Pavarotti, Hugh Grant, Franco Corelli and Sarah Bernhardt are among the many celebrated performers past and present who have suffered from it.

11 Corelli, meanwhile, is very much the noble revolutionary, with every sustained high note sounding like a call to arms.

12 Opera buffs or serious researchers can discover how many sopranos made their Met debuts singing Wagner’s Sieglinde or how many times Birgit Nilsson performed with Franco Corelli.

13 Compared to the clockwork finesse and gentle charm of Corelli, Vivaldi introduced a sense of drama and virtuosity that took his contemporaries’ breath away.

14 Opera buffs would be lucky to have a Corelli to bicker about today.

15 Muffat, he points out, was present at the creation of the orchestra in the 17th century, working with Lully in France and with Corelli in Italy.

16 For the next half-century, the concerto reigned supreme, and its godfather, or archangel perhaps, was composer-violinist Arcangelo Corelli.

17 And the same could be said of both the Corelli and the “Swedish Fiddling Suite,” lustily though the players fiddled and whooped along with it.

18 I remember Louis de Bernières telling an audience of his readers that an MA course had helped him to discover the multi-narrator form that made Captain Corelli's Mandolin a literary bestseller.

19 Yet Corelli – whose tercentenary was celebrated by the festival – was such a trendsetter in early 18th-century Rome that his disciples adapted many of his pieces for singers.

20 A full concert featuring the Vivaldi as well as Corelli’s “Christmas” concerto and Tchaikovsky’s sextet for strings, “Souvenir de Florence,” is at 8 p.m.
