Ulysses Arts releases Michele Tadini's contemporary vocal works La Casa and Madrigale, with all parts sung by Laura Catrani, and electronic sampling by the composer. Michele Tadini comments:

'La Casa and Madrigale are built  substantially on Laura Catrani's voice,: the recordings, sampling and processing of the voice give total life to the sound palette. La Casa (The House) represents our most intimate space, the heart of our existence. Madrigale is a song, of sorrow and hope. At the origins of these pieces there is a broader work: Unheimlich - exiles in their own land, a variable score for sound and image, female voice, percussion, electronics, first performed at Mittelfest, Cividale del Friuli, in 2002.'

ANNEKE SCOTT AND BENEDICT PREECE: J.S. BACH CHORALE PRELUDES FOR CORNO DA TIRARSI AND ORGAN RELEASING ON 11 DECEMBER 2020

Ulysses Arts is delighted to release a new recording of J.S.Bach's music re-imagined for corno da tirarsi and organ performed by Anneke Scott (corno da tirarsi) and Benedict Preece (organ).

The 2020 Pandemic saw Anneke Scott work her way through all of Bach’s chorales on her corno da tirarsi as part of a project she entitled “Corno Not Corona”. Out of this was sparked the idea of a collaboration with organist Benedict Preece in which the pair would re-configure a number of Bach Chorale Preludes incorporating the corno da tirarsi on the chorale melodies.

The recording is a testament to the many ways in which musicians have had to be resourceful and resilient in this most testing of years for the arts. The two musicians recorded their contributions in isolation, with Benedict performing the organ part using Hauptwerk, a state-of-the-art virtual instrument. Hauptwerk contains high quality samples of some of the finest organs in the world and each stop is relayed through the software to enable organists to play the chosen organ from any location. For this recording Benedict selected the Muller organ of St. Bavo Church, Haarlem.

Matching a “virtual” instrument is Anneke’s “hypothetical” corno da tirarsi (made by Egger in Switzerland). The corno da tirarsi has been a conundrum for many years. Bach wrote for the instrument but no instrument appears to survive. Normally Bach writes for the corno da tirarsi doubling soprano chorale melodies in his cantata, hence it feeling like an appropriate instrument to incorporate in his chorale preludes.

This album of music for Baroque violin establishes a link between music and fine art. The Baroque’s symmetry in architecture and way of life characterizes the music and the cover of this album.

The almost exactly symmetrical alleyway depicts Baroque violinist Maximiliane Norwood in the middle of the composition. She strives to connect music, fine art, and rhetoric. The result is a performance for all artistic senses.
