The "Father of Swedish Music," Johan Helmich Roman, was one of the most influential Swedish composers of his time, not only because of his numerous compositions, but also for his role in moving the music of the great composers from the royal court to public concerts in Stockholm. He was also influential in promoting the use of the Swedish language in sacred texts and in developing an indigenous tradition of vocal writing in secular and sacred music.

Il Fasolo?

Here the European period-instrument ensemble Le Poème Harmonique offers a program devoted to another of those arguably unjustly-neglected composers who occasionally turn up on concerts and on disc--and in our reviews. This time it's the very obscure, early-17th-century Italian guitarist/composer known today only by his pseudonym Il Fasolo (the bean). In the liner notes Jean-François Lattarico warns that this Il Fasolo should not necessarily be confused with Giovanni Battista Fasolo or Il Fasolo-Manelli (two other composer/musicians active around the same time) regardless of evidence that both confirms and denies Il Fasolo's relationship to each--and hence the question mark in the program's title. Surely a fascinating musicological mystery!

In 1743 William Boyce wrote music for the play 'Solomon' by Edward Moore. The work was frequently performed, but being judged mildly rude*, was seldom performed after about 1800. One song however, 'Softly Rise, O Southern Breeze' remained popular for another fifty years. In 1762, after a performance of Solomom, the music critic John Potter wrote "......a fine piece of composition! It has a number of beautiful strokes of genius, it is fine, it is elegant and sublime....how delicate the airs in it, how charming the melody! Can anything be more so? Really it is almost impossible."

* I wanted to understand what a "mildly rude" work was like by XVIII century standards so I searched for Moore text. I found it at the University of Virgina Library along with some other intesting works (Mainly poems & fables) . Or you can download it here (26Kb) in RTF format.
