Xácaras – La Sablonara
Anonymous & Fahmi Alqhai
A piece of popular character linked to the theatre of the Spanish Golden Age. It stands out for its marked, lively rhythm and strong dance-like drive. It evokes a festive, carefree atmosphere full of energy.
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.
