The turn of the 16th-17th century sounds both festive and contemplative. In this program, choral pages of ancient masters will be presented in an unusual form - in arrangements for a brass quintet. Trumpet, horn, trombones, and tuba will carefully convey the intonations of prayer, joy, and quiet sorrow, while familiar names like Byrd, Lassus, and Monteverdi will sound fresh. During the New Year days, there is a special desire for music that can speak softly and precisely. This program features the choral heritage of the turn of the 16th-17th century - a time when joy coexists with sorrow, and a bright melody easily fades into shadow. These pages were created by composers whose names have long become legends of European culture. The main feature of the evening is the composition of the performers. Instead of a choir, arrangements for a brass quintet will be performed. The trumpet, horn, two trombones, and tuba take on the choral lines and show how many colors are hidden in polyphony. The brass timbres provide clarity and depth: one voice cuts through the air with pure intonation, another holds the foundation, and a third adds a warm shadow. The program includes works by William Byrd, Orlando di Lasso, Pomponio Nenna, Carlo Gesualdo, Giovanni de Mac, Claudio Monteverdi. Pieces such as Ne irascaris Domine, Tristis est anima mea, Ecco, o mia dolce pena, O vos omnes, Ave dulcissima Maria, Tu ti lagni al mio pianto, Adoramus te, Christe will be performed. This is music where every pause and every turn of harmony is important. On stage will be Natalia Gorbunova (trumpet), Anton Skorokhodov (horn), Andrey Goryaev (trombone), Ilya Bekurashvili (trombone), Oleg Solovey (tuba). The ensemble was gathered specifically for this event, making the concert sound like a rare meeting of musicians around a single idea. If you rarely attend academic music, this evening will serve as a gentle introduction: short pieces alternate with one another, and familiar emotions are immediately recognizable - joy, anxiety, consolation, anticipation.
