Fandango – La Sablonara
Anonymous (17th c.) – Fahmi Alqhai
A piece based on a repetitive, vibrant harmonic pattern. It stands out for its rhythmic energy and improvisatory character. It anticipates features that live on in the Spanish musical tradition.
World premiere of the La Sablonara programme at the Utrecht Early Music Festival, based on the palace songbook of the Royal Chapel at the Madrid court, compiled for the Count of Neuburg during his stay in Madrid at the court of Philip IV around 1625.
