ATMA Classique celebrates its 10th anniversary with a bang, along with the musicians of Montréal Baroque, the Toronto Consort, and all those who have contributed to building a reputation of excellence and originality.
The Musick for the Royal Fireworks (1749) had originally been composed, as instructed by King George II, for a large complement of martial instruments only: nine trumpets, nine horns, 24 oboes, 12 bassoons, one contrabassoon, three pairs of kettledrums, and military drums. This is the spirit - without a trace of strings - in which is presented this festive version of the work. As for Orazio Vecchi's comedy Le Veglie di Siena (1604), it is a succession of madrigals that relates three night games (literary and musical) organized in Siena by the members of the Academy of the Intonati.
