Info for Carolo: Trio Sonatas Nos. 1-10

Space Time Continuo is excited to present the ten Carolo sonatas in their first ever recording! Although the Carolo sonatas were written for smaller ensembles, the original edition served as a blank canvas to fulfill Space Time Continuo’s mandate to feature the rich textures and wide soundscape possible in the continuo section. Sonatas XI, III, V and X were conceived with augmented forces and sonatas XI and III are actually new arrangements for 3 solo bass instruments and continuo. Sonata VI is performed with two bassoons, harpsichord and bowed bass (5-string low-pitched bass violin) but the other five are closer to what was suggested by the original publisher’s title page: “two solo bass instruments plus one continuo,” but with variation in the instrumentation of the solo voices and keyboard choice.

Amanda Keesmaat, baroque cello, violin bass
Dorothéa Ventura, organ, harpsichord
Sylvain Bergeron, lute, theorbo, baroque guitar
Karim Nasr, baroque bassoon
Pierre-Yves Martel, viola da gamba and double bass
Antoine Malette-Chénier, triple harp
Amanda Keesmaat, musical direction
Dorothéa Ventura, musical direction

Space Time Continuo
explores the rich and profound sonic landscape of early music bass instruments. Cello, viola da gamba, and bassoon will be featured voices alongside theorbo, guitar, and harpsichord. This concert will comprise unusual Renaissance and Baroque repertoire for bass instruments, with works by Bach, Bartholomeo de Selma, Frescobaldi, Boismortier, and Corrette.
