Pasticcio

Director : none
Year ensemble formed : in 1987 -- by Bernt Malmros
Description :
- The name is an 18th century musical term indicating that musicians could use parts of musical works, put them freely together so as arrange them for the existing instruments in an ensemble - examples of many are that Pasticcio (on flute, violin & cello) performs the slow movement in a violin concerto by E. Ferling, pieces by Grenser, Vogler, Åhlström etc. originally written for the fortepiano and so on. Pasticcio plays on period instruments.
- Bernt Malmros founded Pasticcio in 1987 and he continuously makes research to detect music that could be usable for concert. In 1997 he published compositions for violoncello & violin by the swedish composers Johan Gustav Simson and Johan Wikmanson; the music was disappeared during a period of 150 to 200 years until it was found in a private collection. Bernt arranged in 1994 a concert containing these compositions.
- Pasticcio is a music group with special interest in the Swedish music from the 18th century. The ensemble ranges from duo to quintet size. The aim is to present and stand for the rich quality and variety of composers who were active from about 1740 to 1795, mainly in Stockholm. The music left is often dwelling in musical libraries, seldom available in print and as a consequence almost never heard in concert.

Puirt a Baroque

Leader : David Greenberg
Year ensemble formed : 1994
Description : The ensemble's name is a play on "puirt a beul", Scottish Gaelic for "tunes from the
mouth" (usually called mouth-music). Puirt a baroque ("tunes from the baroque") therefore represents the joining of Scottish traditional music with Baroque art music, an idea which has its
precedent in 18th-century "Scots drawing room" music.

Puirt a Baroque explores and elucidates the historical connections between baroque art music and traditional Scottish/Cape Breton music. The group's repertoire encompasses works by major art-music composers, lesser-known Scottish art-music and traditional-style composers, and 20th-century Cape Breton composers. The group's innovative crossover pieces blend these
musical styles affectionately, with respect for the integrity of each.
