Artistic Director’s Note
Les Boréades are now 14 years old! We are confident that the diverse series of concerts that we will present in the coming year will please you. There will be virtuoso instrumental pieces by Telemann, pieces associated with the pleasures of the table, and musical theater… and we’ll be welcoming back an old collaborator, the French cornetto player William Dongois. It is thanks to you, dear friends, who keep up with and appreciate what we do, that we stay imaginative. I and the other musicians of Les Boréades are looking forward to another pleasant season in your company.
Francis Colpron

Italian and German music of the 18th century. With William Dongois, cornetto
The cornetto – whose sound was often described as lascivissimo, and was considered to equal only the violin’s as the best imitation of the human voice – was popular from about the middle of the 16th to the end of the 17th century. Its mouthpiece was like that of a brass instrument; its wooden body was slightly curved and sometimes covered in leather; and it was fingered like a recorder. The resulting sound combined sweetness with penetration and irresistible sensuality. This was the ideal instrument on which to perform the new virtuosic and expressive music of the Baroque.

«Je joue moi non plus!»
Carl Béchard
Musical theatre in french only.
Theatre and Music. With stage director Jean-François Gagnon and actorCarl Béchard.
Tabarin, now little-known, was a very funny predecessor of Molière. From up on his stage, surrounded by the actors and musicians of his troupe, “with his endless beard, multiform hat, and baggy pants,” Tabarin entertained passers-by and onlookers on the Pont Neuf and in the place Dauphine. His short farces, accompanied by music, were adaptations into French of the most ludicrous and saucy situations of the commedia dell’arte. He was a master of seventeenth-century vaudeville!

Delicious morsels from the Boulangerie Première Moisson presented with specially selected pieces of music… what better combination of delights? With all the beauty of sound, rhetorical clarity, energy, and virtuosity for which we are known, we shall play for you the best musique de table from the 17th and 18th centuries.

It gives me great pleasure to be part of Les Boréades’ 2009 gala. I invite you to come in large numbers to enjoy what promises to be a memorable benefit evening.
Sophie Faucher

As Jean Chevalier wrote, “a banquet generally symbolizes collective participation in a group, a project, or a celebration.” Organized in collaboration with the Première Moisson bakery, this benefit gala will consist of a feast enlivened by the performance of beautiful music associated with the pleasures of the table.

Program
Solos, quartet, and concertos by Georg Philipp Telemann
The concerto allows not only for dense orchestral playing but also for the virtuosity of one or more soloists, and not only for timbral variety but also for contrasts of color and of tempo. The concerto originated in Italy, where it featured the violin, but the form spread like wildfire throughout Europe, with host countries adapting its exuberantly Italian flavor to their own national characteristics. The French masters, and Telemann, made a fascinating blend of such styles. The former wrote a good deal for the traverso, while the latter wrote concertos for all the instruments of his day, including the chalumeau, the forerunner of the clarinet.
