Battaglia / The Tempest
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Il Giardino Armonico pairs two Baroque masters separated by geography but united in their love of musical drama—Biber's virtuosic violin writing and vivid programmatic works alongside Matthew Locke's incidental music for Shakespeare. This program contrasts the visceral energy of Biber's *Battaglia*, a battle piece that deploys instruments like cannons, with Locke's more delicate, atmospheric textures written for *The Tempest*. The interplay between Salzburg's Catholic instrumental tradition and English theatrical music reveals how Baroque composers across Europe spoke the same musical language while solving entirely different problems: one painting conflict and spectacle, the other conjuring shipwrecks and supernatural islands. The ensemble's period approach brings both composers' scoring into sharp focus, letting you hear exactly which instruments carry the narrative weight at each turn.
