TRE MISSION - Stigmata - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The final volume in this critically acclaimed series presents the last 18 of the one hundred magnificent and varied secular vocal works contained in the so-called Guerra Manuscript. Seven of these tonos (secular Spanish songs) - five of which were written for the stage - are by Juan Hidalgo, one of the leading composers of the Spanish Baroque. Great care has been taken over the use of historically informed instrumentation of the plucked strings and especially the harp, bringing vividly to life the golden age of 17th-century Spanish composition.

After the success of their debut Fundamental Music in 2006 (part of the successful Jazz thing Next Generation series), the members of Tré were looking for a return to simplicity. To that end, the trio borrowed from German art writer Johann Joachim Winkelmann (1717-1768), who in turn inspired Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The material on this CD focuses on simplicity in answer to the overloaded art of the Baroque and Rococo periods.
