sweet follia Ensemble Caprice Flûtes à bec sur deux continents Recorders on Two Continents Blockflöten auf zwei Kontinenten ACD2 2213 Sweet Follia - The Recorder on Two Continents A dialogue between Europe and America Europe and America: two continents, separated by the Atlantic Ocean, the crossing of which must have been a fearful experience for the early settlers, are also separated by their different ways of making music.   However, these two continents have given much to each other: the new immigrants brought their music and, in time, American jazz imposed its influence on Europe. This recording illustrates different epochs of the “Old World”: pieces from the Middle Ages and the Early Baroque from England and Holland show the subtle art of early two-part writing.   In Lamento di Tristano, Avendo me falcon, and Boffons, for instance, the addition of percussion already foreshadows the jazzy sound of Bixler Beat and the trilogy Summertime.   We can also hear, somewhat unexpectedly, the “walking bass” - a typical jazz “ingredient” - in L'lnconu, by Michel Blavet.   This baroque version of the “walking bass” adds drive to the melody through its continuous motion in the accompaniment. … Matthias Maute Translated by Carpenter Editorial Service Ensemble Caprice Matthias Maute, Sophie Larivière : flûtes à bec / recorders Betty MacMillan : viole de garobe / viola da gamba • Rafik Samman : percussion Matthias Maute (1963- )   1. la petite étude (2 fiûtes à bec)     1:33 Bruno Marchetti (?- )   2.
