Enfin la Beauté: Delights of the French Baroque

Saturday, October 19, 7:00 pm

Agnes Coakley Cox, soprano; Corey Shotwell, tenor; Nathaniel Cox, lute and theorbo

At the courts of Louis XIII and Louis XIV in 17th-century France, enjoying airs de cour, or courtly airs, was a favorite pastime. These secular pieces for voice and lute or theorbo, often on pastoral themes, are characterized by their charm and simplicity of expression. Tenor Corey Shotwell joins In Stile Moderno to explore the delights of this repertoire in a new program, featuring songs by Étienne Moulinié, Sébastien le Camus, Joseph Chabanceau de La Barre, and others.
