Once a year, ReRenaissance builds a whole program based on a special print source. Various Petrucci prints have held center stage in the past, but this year they shift their focus because of a spectacular new find!
Among the mostly three-part "Carmina" of the German-speaking world in the 16th century, a 1535 collection from the Egenolff printing house was considered lost. Until five years ago, only a discantus partbook in Paris and a copy of the bassus in Heilbronn survived. Without the tenor, the backbone of this music, including nine unica, have remained silent in modern times. Based on the recent discovery of Royston Gustavson, who through skillful research was able to locate two tenor partbooks in the Swiss National Library in Bern, David Fallows has succeeded in transcribing these nine pieces in their entirety.
ReRenaissance is a series of concerts that focuses on the music and culture of the Renaissance. These concerts celebrating "a renaissance of the renaissance" are performed by professional musicians from Basel.
The concert is free, but there will be a collection.
