▶ "Within the Sound" documentary on Wolfgang Weichselbaumer

The documentary accompanies the Viennese instrument maker Wolfgang Weichselbaumer. Through an analytical, partly pilosophical approach, the autodidact Weichselbaumer seeks the perfect sounding body. Having built hurdy gurdies since he was nineteen he comes to develop an entirely new sounding tool. Encounters with musicians like the Spaniard Germán Díaz allow insights in Weichselbaums working methods. Through the meeting and growing friendship with the legendary French hurdy gurdy player Valentin Clastrier the film intensifies from a documentary report on a nearly forgotten instrument to a portrait, a symbiosis between the unconventional instrument maker and the extraordinary musician.

▶ NEW CD :: LA BELLE VIELLEUSE – Virtuoso Hurdy Gurdy in the 18th c. France – Tobie Miller

Au temps de Madame de Pompadour, la vielle à roue (tout comme la musette) bénéficient d’un succès important. Elle se mesure aux autres instruments et, comme nous le montrent plusieurs tableaux, bénéficie de faveurs des dames de l’aristocratie.
Plusieurs méthodes sont éditées, dont celle de Michel Corrette (La belle vielleuse) et certains virtuoses comme Danguy ou Dupuits poussent les limites techniques dans leurs derniers retranchements. Son charme est célébré par les poètes dont les textes inspirent les cantates. C’est entre la Cour et les bergeries que nous conduit ce programme de découvertes...

In the time of Madame de Pompadour, the hurdy-gurdy, like the musette, enjoyed a great success. It was considered to be on a level with other instruments and, as can be seen in various paintings, was highly regarded by the ladies of the aristocracy. Several books of instruction for the instrument were published, one of which was Michel Corrette’s La belle vielleuse; virtuoso players such as Danguy and Dupuits extended its playing techniques to their limits. The instrument’s charm was sung by various poets whose words were then set as cantatas. The unknown works that constitute this recording place it firmly in the French court of the time with its stylised pastoral diversions.

3-5 APRIL; Rianxo, GALICIA, ES: Zona da Zanfona

– Zona da Zanfona, o festival internacional de zanfona organizado por aCentral Folque chega a súa XI edición consolidado como un referente internacional no seu ámbito. *

Logo de dez anos, os Encontros Internacionais coa Zanfona seguen a estender os límites conceptuais deste “sintetizador medieval” a territorios compartidos por estéticas posmodernas (drone, acusmática, secuenciación computacional, reducionismo, intervención sonora, improvisación, performance, o loop,…) que conviven coa música popular e universal, coa música coma razón social e encontro humano na percepción abstracta da paisaxe acústica dos nosos días.

Son significativas todas as figuras de renome internacional que teñen pasado por este encontro situando a Galicia no epicentro mundial do instrumento e que marca un presente magnífico para un porvir donde a memoria do instrumento vai gañando cada vez máis espazo desde o rexurdir dos anos 70. aCentral Folque é plataforma activa que aposta e pon e conexión a profesionais, alumnado e luthiers conseguindo desde o 2000 unha renovación esencial para o instrumento.

Consolidado en Rianxo, ubicación de excepción para a cultura do país está a vangarda na programación musical para a zanfona, instrumento carismático que segue a sorprender e dando que falar logo de mil anos de Historia.

Le propos s’articulera autour des instruments dits « pastoraux » du baroque musical français. Les musiciens et facteurs présenteront la vielle, le galoubet-tambourin et la musette sous leurs aspects organologiques (configuration, particularités, décoration, techniques de jeu). Ces instruments issus de la facture populaire ont-ils été « hissés » à un niveau supérieur ? Quel apport la période baroque a-t-elle fourni pour l’existence ultérieure de ces instruments ?

Le répertoire baroque français s’est fréquemment consacré à évoquer - à sa manière - la vie rustique et sa musique. Ce concert propose un répertoire très peu souvent entendu… voire des re-créations  mondiales ! Deux vielles, deux musettes, un galoubet de Provence et son tambourin, un violon et une grande cornemuse à miroirs feront entendre solos et duos mettant en valeur les ressources de ces instruments.

Un programme d’une grande originalité est proposé ici. Un ensemble baroque d’inspiration française (cordes, flûtes, hautbois, continuo) s’associe aux instruments qui connurent une vogue considérable dans les années 1720-1760 : la musette (enseignée au Conservatoire), la vielle à roue sous sa forme baroque, et le tambourin de Provence, indéfectiblement associé au galoubet, petite flûte à une main. C’est un répertoire original, conçu pour ce type de formation, qui sera entendu : un Ballet de Village de J. Bodin de Boismortier, diverses pièces instrumentales et des extraits d’un petit opéra deFrançois Chauvon, Les Agréments Champêtres.
