In our inaugural 2025 program at Mason United Methodist Church in the Proctor District in Tacoma, the Salish Sea Early Music Festival features the Italian Canzona and demonstrates the evolution of the instrumental musician's perspective from the Renaissance to the Baroque, with Vicki Boeckman on renaissance recorders of various sizes, Tina Chancey on renaissance viols also of various sizes, Jeffrey Cohan on renaissance transverse flute, and Anna Marsh on dulcian, the renaissance bassoon. This in-depth exploration of the Italian four-part canzona, which blossomed in print from 1577 through the mid 1600’s, will trace its development from 1529, when commercial music printing was just beginning in Europe, through 1636 at which point more “baroque” stylistic forms such as the sonata and the suite began to emerge. Canzonas by Florentino Maschera (1582), Floriano Canale (1600), Giovanni Dominico Rognoni Taegio (1605), Antonio Troilo (1606), Giovanni Gabrieli (1608), Girolamo Frescobaldi (1608), Giovanni Antonio Cangiasi (1614), Giacomo Biumi (1624), Nicolo Corradini (1624), Giovanni Buonamente (1636) and others are to be included in the program along with examples of the earlier French and Flemish songs of the early 1500's that inspired them, including some published specifically for instrumentalists in 1529, 1577 and 1588, among them Clement Jannequin’s “Song of the Birds” in an instrumental version from 1577. All is to be performed on renaissance winds of three distinct families along with the fretted viols, providing an exciting blend and a distinct character to each of the four intertwining musical lines.                               ✷  ✣  ✷  ✣  ✷  ✣  ✷ *2025 TACOMA SALISH SEA EARLY MUSIC FESTIVAL* /~ all concerts except July 9 Mondays at 7:00 PM ~ / Monday, *February 24* at 7:00 PM:  — *THE CHACONNE with LES VOIX HUMAINES* —    · Susie Napper, viola da gamba & treble viol    · Mélisande Corriveau, viola da gamba & pardessus de viol    · Elisabeth Wright, harpsichord    · Jeffrey Cohan, baroque and renaissance flutes           Les Voix humaines, the widely celebrated prize-winning duo of viols from Montreal joins us for a program centering on the chaconne but extending from the early 17th century through Johann Sebastian Bach.
