300 years ago, Corelli's concertos, Op. 6, were published in 1714 in Amsterdam: these works dramatically affected the style of the baroque concerto for the next generation of composers. The reception of this magnificent collection, one of the crown jewels of baroque instrumental music, is in no small part due to the music publishing boom which began around 1690, as well as Corelli's signature set of violin sonatas, Opus 5, of which as Michael Talbot notes "at least 42 editions had appeared by 1800". The wide availability of Corelli's works created an international Corellian style. The concertos are written in an expanded trio sonata style, in which the two solo violins and cello form a small ensemble within the larger tutti framework. The fourth concerto is noteworthy for its suave and serene introduction, the gracefulness of the dance movement, the exceptionally well-balanced counterpoint and harmony, and the furious concluding coda which flows out of the second ending of the last movement.
HD Video from the Voices of Music Lamentations of Jeremiah concert, April, 2014. In the year 1702, the Avvisi di Roma noted that for a performance during Holy Week of Scarlatti's Lamentations, the orchestra also played "a superb concerto for basses, violones, violins and violas of Arcangelo" (Griffin, The Late Baroque Serenata). For the 300th anniversary of Corelli's concertos, we will be releasing on video selections from Corelli's Opus 6 as well as Handel's Opus 6.

Italian baroque is grace, French baroque is grandiose, German baroque is mathematical perfection. Either way baroque is the best that ever was.
Superb characterization of supernal music!
Absolutely
Couldn't agree with you more.
Mathematical perfection very apt.
Agree.
Whoever did the recording/sound engineering deserves a raise.
Absolutely, it wii make or break a video ✌️
There were some problems in the vivace part.
Absolutely.
Give the building a raise too!
@@TheMajortanner hell yes
This kind of music uplifts the spirit, stimulates the mind while soothing the nerves, and comforts the heart. The world would be a better place if everyone listened to this soul-nourishing music instead of the garbage that passes for music these days
Yeah
Oui je trouve ça dommage que ce genre de musique ne sois pas plus populaire
My father taught me to appreciate baroque music when I was a teenager. My father had the patience with me I have tried to have with my children. I really miss him.
did u know Beethoven was black
Be blessed. I hope you have a great relationship with your children through music.
I discovered this music on an old 78 rpm when I was 7. Seventy years later I still love it!
There were Corelli recordings on 78 discs, even E. Power Biggs, I have never heard one!
I discovered this music on an old 8-track when I was 8.
88 years later _I_ still love it too.
I think this channel has thoroughly convinced me that the Baroque Era was the best classical era.
Yeah, it was 😍 The Romantic Era was also great, but Baroque was better
You're absolutely right it was golden music period
I too am a huge fan of Baroque music... please don't try to fix it.
I've been convinced since at least early adolescence. Nothing matches the Baroque. Structure and creativity united.
@@liamschurmans6317 I often think that I can hear echoes of the Baroque in some of the great Romantic composers. Do you?
I was a small contributor to the original instrumental movement 50 years ago. I am most pleased to hear what is has become
Very cool.
Over 100,000 hours of practice and patience has brought us to this marvelous recital!
Respekt und ein Dankeschön an die hervorragenden Musiker + (-innen)! Diese Komposition von Arcangelo Corelli ist für mich mit Worten nicht zu beschreiben! Demut und Tränen der Freude usw. ein Meisterstück der Vollkommenheit ! Bravo! Sollte ich einmal, in die ewige Stadt kommen, ein Besuch seiner Grabstätte a must!
One of the most beautiful things that I have ever heard. The first movement sounds like when my wife smiles at me.
What a charming and wonderful metaphor!
You are a lucky man, treat her well!
Dude heck no this music sucks
Can I just say how fucking lucky she is to have you
The acoustics in that room are beautiful
Renowned violinist and pedagogue, Arcangelo Corelli spent his entire career in Rome. He composed mainly for the church and at the service of cardinals but also powerful patrons. Corelli was a gifted instrumentalist but unlike his contemporaries, the musician did not compose operas or sacred vocal music. His modest output focused essentially on instrumental music and includes five sets of 12 sonatas for one or two violins and also of 12 Concerti Grossi, published posthumously in 1714 as his Opus 6. With this last collection, Corelli stands out as one of the first great masters, along with Giuseppe Torelli, of the concerto grosso. This genre eminently representative of Baroque aesthetics, plays on the opposition between a group of soloists the concertino and ripieno whose numbers can be expanded at will and whose role is to punctuate or reinforce the intervention of the soloists. The fourth concerto is noteworthy for its suave and serene introduction, the exceptionally well-balanced and harmony, and finally the Coda which concludes the last movement. The movements of Opus 6, No. 4 follow the layout of another important type of Baroque instrumental music, the church sonata: slow-fast-slow-fast. The majestic opening of the Adagio sets a festive tone, as to the ensuing Allegro, is a writing contrapuntal in texture, abounding orchestral interactions. The Adagio slow movement, with its gently melody, offers a contrast lyrical reminding of Concerto's opening. Corelli expands the concluding fast section into two movements, both of which are marked by transparent textures and a prevailing feeling of lightnes, an elegant melody unfolds over a propulsive bass line in the Vivace, and the final Allegro is infused with the spirit of the dance. Corelli asserts the independence of the violin with the desire to remain within the limits of the vocal range and a concern for simplicity in the exploitation of the resources of the instrument to which he refuses useless virtuosity. *Lucien*
That lead violinist with the glasses gets down! 😀 She plays with so much passion.
Italia!!! Thank you for Corelli. Thank you God
What a beautiful comment.
To me, this piece, and this performance, is heaven on earth. There's something uniquely beautiful about this era of Baroque chamber music (this piece being from 1714, around the time Bach was writing the Brandenburg Concertos). It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear such beautiful sounds and think, "Humanity made this."
Corelli is such an undeniable master of harmony, and string writing. Voices of Music are the perfect vehicle for this beautiful composition. The archlute, the baroque organ, the antique bow-holds on the period violins and viola, the beautiful, resonant violone and cello...the righteous early-music goodness is unstoppable, and I can't get enough. Not to mention the sensitivity, the lightness, and the chemistry of the ensemble, combined with the never-ending excitement of Corelli's harmonic choices. It's such a joy to watch.
Every part of this piece has something to offer: the stately introduction; the sheer unbridled joy of the Allegro (0:20); the brooding majesty of the Adagio (3:30), complete with the perfectly embellished phrygian cadence (4:48-5:03)...then, the sprightly but dignified Vivace. The chemistry between the two principal violinists is such a joy to watch. Who could manage not to smile at 8:39 as they kick off the Allegro with an exuberant race to the finish line!
THIS is what I want to do when I grow up!
Violinist of 19 years. I’ll play with you.. I compose as well
@Luke Schneider Thank you so much! Its a beautiful gift music gave us all ♥️
more conterpoint than harmony during baroque
I understood nothing you wrote.. but are tears understanding enough? I'm a blue collar temp. Made ruthlessly spirt of for loving Baroque music. I understand HR depts find 'Art Majors' the silly ones who can't figure out what we want. What do I want? THIS and John Dowland music.
,@@lynnodonnell4764 I say your tears are most definitely evidence of your understanding. Pay no attention to those "cultural philistines" (my favorite phrase from my folk musician friend), The wonderful thing about the internet is you can increase your knowledge at your own pace. To paraphrase Auntie Mame, "Music is a banquet, and most suckers are starving to death".
Corelli like Vivaldi, Albinoni, constitute the greatest composers set of that time in Italy. This concertos are uniques in harmony. The music is sublime and allows us to be transported beyond the problems of our lives, transmitting the pleasure and joy of that. The orchestration is superb. Bravo for this interpretation.
Don't forget Scarlatti D and A,Pergolesi,Durante,Leonardo Leo,Porpora,and much more.......
Just when you think it just can't get any better, a piece like this one comes along.
La musica di Corelli è sostenuta da una ispirazione purissima e nobilissima, da un equilibrio perfetto, e la sua straordinaria bellezza non impedisce che all'ascolto sia di una luminosa facilità e semplicità. Una vera emozione.
Che vero 😊❤
And that's why period instruments matter. Just listen to that powerful sound! Astonishing performance, simply flawless
Con instrumentos modernos, estos conciertos suenan aún mucho mas brillantes.
I agree with you, Francisco!
I would have to hear it live -- recording aren't necessarily remotely accurate. But wonderful playing. I'd like to take lessons from Blumenstock and I don't even play period instrument.
I am not so sure to agree fully with you. Nevertheless, for sure, it is an interesting experience to hear these brillant oncrtos on period instrumants.
@@gerardbegni2806 'Interesting experiment'!? My friend, these are the instruments for which this music was written: rich in overtones, a kaleidoscope of color and expression. The experiment has been hearing them played on the dull, distorted, sadly mutilated instruments of our misguided modern day orchestras.
There is just no way I can give this more than one thumbs up so it deserves a comment. I am deeply grateful to Italy for giving the world such great geniuses as Arcangelo Corelli and the other great Italians creators of music, painting and sculpture. I don't know Italian so muchas gracias Italy.
How much the violins enjoy when they're playing! I love when they see each other!
Magnifico sempre, Corelli! E questo è uno dei suoi Concerti grossi in cui si rivela tutta la sua anima dolce, grave, severa e seducente...
Grazie.
Marvellous playing. Particularly the two violins in the allegro where their musical conversation is exquisitely modulated. The egos of the virtuosi soloists are completely subordinated to the spirit and beauty of Corelli’s genius. Another triumph of intimate musicality.
Thanks so much!
The Allegro part is a hit. The entire piece is one of the best renditions of this particular opus I've ever heard .
Voices of Music is an outstanding group of truly superb baroque musicians! I live so close to their venue (well, about 45 miles) and for transportation reasons, I haven't been able to enjoy their performances in person since I moved here in 2010. Waaaaa! Waahahahahaaa! Waaaa!
Next year, 2022, no matter what, I'm getting tickets and crawling on hands amd knees if I have to, to see and especially hear them perform live! Nothing like live baroque music performed on period instruments with gut strings. The sound is ... sweet, delicious!
Years ago there was a group that performed in Santa Monica, California, the Los Angeles Baroque Orchestra - yeah! LAMO! Nooo! Don't go there! They were anything but lame! I never missed a performance until I moved from Los Angeles. Pooo! The musical director was the professor of early music at UCLA. Greg something. So long ago. I left LA in 1995. They were wonderful! Bach, Vivaldi, Händel, Corelli, all the great baroque composers. Superb. Don't know what happened to them. I volunteered for a time ushering and controlling the lights in the chruch. No, I'm no lighting tech. Just turned the lights over the audience down at each performance. One night they were performing Bach's Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord, and I got so excited by the piece the* were about to play because I love it that forgot to turn the lights down. I have low self-esteem so this was important to me to even be allowed to take care of the lights. When I realized my goof, I crept back to the reostats and very very slowly dimmed the lights a few minutes into the performance praying that nobody would notice. No one said anything. A simple job it was, but I failed to do it properly. I anticipated a scolding. What a dunce! I felt like a complete fucking idiot. Embarrassed? Uhm, yesh. Horribly. As small a thing as it was, I had let the musicians down. A 5 year old could have done it! It's been about 30 years ago now so I think I can forgive myself.
If you have a baroque orchestra in your area, go see them perform! Support them! Donate to their organization if you can, but definitely attend their performances! You won't regret it! I'm not affiliated with VoM in any way (wish I was tho), but I ask you for very selfish reasons (gotta keep them going so I can see them at least once before I die!) that you please make a donation to Voices of Music, too!
Wasn't really a fan of baroque music, heard this piece due to a college class. This is now one of my favorite classic music. Absolutely beautiful
In French, tout arrive!!
Just absolutely gorgeous music and performance. Thanks for posting
+Carlos Alvarado You are very welcome.
I really believe that some music was arranged in heaven for us humans and sent to earth to give us a glimpse of heaven.
Very well said !! Me TOO !!!
Perhaps...or maybe the music originated as an esp transferance from our mother star system, most likely from the proxima centauri binary...❤
This is the music of LIFE. A beautiful celebration. Beautifully performed. Thank you!
Cycling to the university and observing how the beauty and harmony of nature is in beauty and harmony with this music.
About four years ago this piece saved my life and made me want to pursue violin... Now I'm 2 years into violin and love playing this fast baroque piece... Thanks Corelli
Simply stunning. It amazes me that we humans can create instruments, acquire the skills to play each and then combine their various sounds to produce this strange thing called music. Music that is so breathtakingly beautiful, it has the power to command the emotions of the listener. Just magical.
I at first wanted to navigate away but somehow, my hand wouldn't move. I am hooked!
This is a special performance of one of the greatest concerti. So precise and well articulated with subtle dynamic changes. Music of the heavens. Thanks Corelli.
I've never turned back from baroque music since I first heard it in my teens. Pure joy!
in my opinion, this is the best interpretation ever
Thanks so much!
-One- _*two*_million views! Thanks, everyone! (And 130 million on our channel....)
Very well deserved!
You deserve nothing less! The performance and interpretation was flawless... and beautiful! ;-)
believe me ,this piece deserves 100 billion views, just not enough people on earth to appreciate Corelli !
Voices of Music thank YOU!!!
I love your music,beautiful !
You all played this so beautifully! One of my favorite pieces and amazing to see mostly women playing as well.
Baroque music....starts with joy and stays there until the end. I love this Corelli so much.
Thank you. It's a great concerto from Corelli.
Words fail to express my inner feelings evoked by this music and instruments, love it.
There’s a real majesty to the style of baroque music. I love all forms of classical maybe with the exception of the romantic era but this is truly “spiritual” and moving
So enjoyable to see the music of Corelli brought so completely to life. Fresh enough to believe the music had just been written for this performance.
Each of the violins and violas have such a beautiful, distinct voice! Such a wonderful recording. It's so cheery. Baroque music to me sounds so celestial.
I very much agree with you : Baroque music is heavenly music.
Medieval and Renaissance music enjoyable too.
Yes, heavenly, as for a King!
@@NinjaToe Well, and when the composer is named "Archangel...." !
I tink the same
Violas? There is only 1 viola (in front of the organ)..
Every single one of your performances has such a rich tone and flows so smoothly. I can't say enough how great you guys are. Keep playing amazing music.
Thank you for promoting your work here in the true hifi bitrate that it requires -- and for having such brilliant audio engineers to do sonic justice to the power and delicacy of your performance.
Awesomeness sounds like this!
ohh we gettin scientific out here
Amen!
Technically beautiful !!
Corelli e Vivaldi il trionfo del barocco che non finisce di stupirci . Bellissimo questo brano ....
Belissimo!
I can’t stop watching this - it’s so beautiful- my new favourite piece of baroque music. Almost brings me to tears. Must be an amazing feeling to be able to bring such pleasure to an audience.
Thank you so much!
Right there with you, one of my favorite you tube videos 👍
Quelle légèreté alliée à une profondeur majestueuse .'CORELLI .VIVALDI BACh . Un trio de vrais charmeurs qui donne à notre triste vie un parfum d éternité
Meraviglioso,tutti solisti e tutti un tutto armonioso.
Grazie
Corelli’s Opus 5 violin sonatas and Opus 6 concerti grossi represent one of those rare occasions in musical history where due to the original, sustained, and inspired music, at a stroke, they rendered all previous music ‘dated’, and influenced all later composers’ work.
Haydn’s Opus 20 string quartets, Beethoven’s 3rd symphony, Wagner’s Tristan, and Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring - amongst a very small group of others - are works that in the history of western classical music had a similar impact.
In this case, the performances are of the same quality as the music; simply outstanding.
This is why I listen to Classical Music !
die voices of music besonderst mit den alten instrumenten einen klang erzeugen,der herz und SEELE erfreut.mit über 80 jahren war ich sehr selten so ergriffen GOTTES HEILIGKEIT ALLMACHT UND BARMHERZIGKEIT SEGNE EUCH ALLE IN ZEIT UND EWIGKEIT danhe danke danke herzlichst ihr kirfel
Corelli's baroque Concerto in D major performed with the original instruments...what a wonder! A solemn composition so well performed, lyrical while so very precise in intonation. The assemble of the instruments gives the melody such an enrichment of resonance, lyrical phrasing with vibrant rhythm, intensity and gracefulness,
I LOVE CORELLI SO DANG MUCH!!!! THIS MADE MY DAY!!!! Thank you
Я у захваті від прекрасної музики і виконання! БРАВО оркестру!!!
Дякую!
Corelli lifts you up, from gravitation, mental and nearly physical.
The world is full of birds and flowers.
The air is very sweet.
The musician can't hide the feeling of joy inside...
It's so beautiful, Vioce of Music!
Cuando escucho este concierto, olvido mis problemas cotidianos y me voy a otros mundos. La música del Barroco es simplemente un bálsamo para el alma. Gracias!
Lindísima pieza del barroco, y una excelente interpretación de éste formidable ensamble musical Voices of Music. Uno de los máximos exponentes del barroco, Arcangelo Corelli.
It is unbelievable how music is so connected with human soul. Love baroque music since childhood.
Dear god, this heavenly music.
I've been listening to this music almost every day since last year. It soothes my heart and makes me calm.
:)
This wonderful music inspired me to become a professional musician and i like
the beautiful performance . Nr 4 is for me the most beautiful concerto grosso ever written .
Corelli was a genius! Hugo
spiritual .... we all find our way...... some sad some joyful...... this is that ... a heart lifted up.... to celebrate life....
UNE MERVEILLE, ON S' ÈVADE QUAND ON Ĺ'ENTEND BEAUCOUP D' ÉMOTIONS EN L'ÉCOUTANT ,TRÈS BELLE INTERPRÉTATION , MERCI !
De rien!
I am so happy that I discovered the amazing ensemble on CZcams. I absolutely adore their music.
Oh so fantastic. Many thanks to the musicians that have put so much time into their flawless performances crafting their skills on their instruments. ❤️
I love Voices of Music, but the Violin II Concertino player is absolutely the best I have ever heard. She just gets it. How I would love to play with her!!!!! Bravo!
It's beautiful that all of you look like you're having the time of your life
Thank you for the Corelli. His concerti grossi deserve to be performed much more often than they are. Even the concerti written in minor keys just sparkle. Plus, it’s great fun if you play the concertato parts. (I’m a professional cellist and have had that joy many times.)🎵
Thank you and best wishes.
This celestial music has been what has kept us humans as such.
:)
Go Elizabeth!!! You are in it! Also, Go Lisa, because I was a violist and I always cheer for the home team. We are the black sheep and we must support each other wherever we are to be found. Also just love the way Kati and Elizabeth play to/with one and other. It's just fun!
Somehow, whenever I listen to and watch a VoM concert I end up with a huge ear to ear grin on my face.
9 mins that reflect your life...hope, reality, acceptance!
So much passion from all of the players
Cette musique nous transcende bien loin de notre triste époque....
Whoooo the sound & tone of those Period Instruments gave me goosebumps!
An outstretched arm with a lighter aflame. I never tire of hearing this recording. You rock!!
There isn't and won't be anything like baroque music. This is pure magic.
Agreed!
Im so Baroque i cant stand it !!
@@darkone9572 That is why I am a Barocker!
Still love me some Zeppelin tho !!
Impeccable ! c'est aérien, lyrique, fluide, enrichissant, achevé , fusionnel, grandiose !
Voices of Music are the best. Wonderful clarity.
The name of the composer is fitting to the angelical sound of his music. These virtuoso musicians play so flawlessly that they become the extension of the composer's eternal mind and emerges through the sound holes of those instruments. Bravisimo!
One of my absolutely top favourite Concerti - beautifully played and like the sun coming out on a warm spring day.
Many thanks!
this is brilliant! very professional audio and musicians! you can hear how they enjoy making music! excellent work
Bravissimi! Musica tutta da godere.
This work of Arcangelo Corelli brought comfort with tears of joy in my grief about my beloved girl-friend.
Fantástico grupo musical , con instrumentos del barroco , sus interpretaciones son sensacionales , Corelli no merece menos !!
Elizabeth Blumenstock - my favorite violinist on this planet.
I haven’t listened to classical music for some time. Only this quality of music brings tears (real) of joy to my eyes. How I wish I could be there to listen in person. Perhaps one day. (David - Melbourne, Australia)
Thank you.
Dall'italia....un milione di Thanks for wondefull music......
Your high-quality performances on period instruments deserve all our support. @Voices of Music, you're brilliant !!! Hats off !!!!
Fantastici Corelli e "Voci della Musica" :-)) (= Voices of Music). Ciao dall'Italia
Thank God and the Universe for the “Voices of Music” using these Baroque instruments to bring us so close to the thrilling original music of Corelli and so many others in their repertoire !! ❤️
You are very welcome.
A thousand in the fiture we will still listening to there music
Fabulous, so beautiful that made me cry. Baroque is my frequency of resonance
phys_BR made me cry too......I am a big crybaby and beautiful art has a real effect on me
Wonderful! Thanks VoM for sharing your beautiful work and passion. ❤️🎼🎵🎶👏🇮🇪☘️
Sublime music and yet 115 people gave it the thumbs down, some of the people can be part right some of the time etc etc. But people who like this kind of thing will find this is the kind of thing they like. Voices of music certainly speak to me.
Isn’t it windy? No it’s Thursday now shut gob and put the kettle on.
A. Corelli must’ve been a ton of fun to hang out with. I can’t imagine a happier piece of music.
Corelli è il faro che ha indicato il percorso di tutto il concertismo occidentale!
¡Qué bien interpreta a Corelli este conjunto! Hermoso y casi perfecto sonido.
Cet ensemble dépasse toutes les autres interprétations de Corelli que j'aie pu entendre jusqu'à cette heure !
La luce del Mediterráneo, Corelli sempre nel mio cuore.❤️🎶
I love this piece and performance so much -- I come back here any time I need to brighten my day :)
