Pacific Baroque Orchestra
Delirio Amoroso: Handel’s Italian Years
St. James Church (Gore & Cordova)
Free admission
As a 20-year old musical hopeful, Georg H�ndel (he hadn�t anglicized his name yet) took a trip to Italy to find out what was going on in that musical world. The Italians were singing (what else?), and the young composer quickly adopted an exuberant operatic style. �Il Delirio Amoroso� was one of three cantatas he composed at that time. In this concert you�ll not only hear what H�ndel wrote, but also what he heard. Music by Handel interspersed with Stradella, Corelli, and Perti.
Mamma mia, bring on the pasta. You�ll love it!
Pacific Baroque Orchestra with Alexander Weimann, harpsichord and guest leader; Chloe Meyers, violin; and Washington McClain, oboe
