Note Senza tempo: second concert in Uri (SS)

We are at the second appointment of the international ancient music festival “Note Senza tempo”  and this time we are away! We have decided to open up to the territory and to enhance the architectural and environmental heritage of the Sassari area through the dissemination of ancient music.

the wholeThe Scordatura he titled the concertCLASSICISM AND BIZARRENESS. An extraordinary program which will see the Sardinian musician Giuseppe Agus born in Cagliari in part of the protagonist 1722 with two very rare violin sonatas, the other unusual!

The two sonatas by Giuseppe Agus are important,  whose works are currently little performed and who find space in this concert to allow their dissemination. The splendid sonatas performed today, highlight Agus' great artistic value and talent. Note Senza tempo is sensitive to the theme of musicological research, especially for the often forgotten Sardinian authors, and tries to make people understand how important it is today to valorise their work, do research, and create listening opportunities.

Definitely them “oddities” will be the most fun things to listen to as the technique of “detuning” of the violin, operata da Biber, it certainly won't leave you indifferent. Biber often introduces this technique into his works. It involves changing the pitch of an empty string of the instrument by "detuning" it to tune it to another. This technique, not new, It allows you to also change the sound of the instrument tonally, since it is possible to obtain unusual chords or special effects that would otherwise be impossible to achieve with normal tuning. Other famous composers have adopted this technique, just think of J.S. Bach of his V suite for cello, but many others followed this technique.

A concert to be enjoyed in a historical architectural context of great value and beauty, the Church of Our Lady of Patience.
