Kapsberger(1580-1651): Ciaccona

[AntoniettaChines1222]

Seems Ciaccona di Inferno e Paradiso :)

[pomponi0]

@AntoniettaChines1222 Many ciacconas are quite similar : )

[IOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIO]

At 3:40 me and my wenches threw our mead chalices to the air and frolicked further behind the castle walls

[Alexjr1543]

This is one of the most upbeat pieces I have ever heard.

[OneEyePI]

What kind of arsehole disliked this???

Brilliant!

[51362879]

@OneEyePI Who else- 7 Yoko Ono fans!

[hylozoik]

='))

[MATHIEUdesPLANTEURS]

It's rock n roll!

[Maergensargoth]

At 0:27, does anybody know what instruments are the angels on the left holding? They look kinda weird, especially that triangular stuff.

[Zeobit]

@Maergensargoth The triangular one may be an oddly shaped Zither. The middle one is of course a lute, middle right could be a sackbut (early trombone). I assume far right is some type of tenor-flute, but i have no clue about the huge single stringed piece of wood on the left.

[tupolev01]

mmmmm

[Yaxwitz]

what is the name of the CD? players?

[RaTaverde]

de casualidad sabras cual es la afinacion de este instrumento... (una pregunta muy idiota pero quiero saber)

[DaMxWolf]

Jejejeje. Muy buena la cación pero con un pequeño error en tu definción.

La Ciaccona era originaria de Europa y se usaba como tema central de algunas óperas u orquestas, de Europa llego a España donde cambio por completo el ritmo de algo clasico a algo un poco más "bailable" (como la melodía que esta aquí). Cuando la Ciaccona llegó a la Nueva España ya había llegado como Chacona y se le introdujeron letras y tanto inmorales, era considerado algo así como "el reggaeton" de la época.

[danensago]

@DaMxWolf  gracias por tu comentario pero lamentablemente tengo que decirte que no es correcto lo que comentas con respecto a la historia de la chacona, ya que las orquestas no se establecieron como tal sino hasta finales del siglo XVIII y las operas surgieron a principios del siglo XVII cuando la chacona ya era un baile muy popular. Tambien podemos apreciar que las formas musicales del barroco casi todas tienen origen en bailes populares, Busca en Wikipedia: Forma musical

[DaMxWolf]

Duh. . . Cierto. Error mio jajaja

[mgnicolls]

@danensago

fair enough, and certainly a dance. but, as far as one knows, no steps or form for the ciaccona have been described. sorry to reply in English.

[openworlder]

Gorgeous music - many thanks! Glad to have found your channel and this clip, after many hours of fruitless web searching following its play on NPR stations. To make future searchers easier on others, please retitle the clipo to include "Lislevand" and "Chaconne" (these are the keywords used by the NPR playlists).

[Mostrencovision]

The perfect soundtrack for a crazy drunken night in the Renaissance

[ssri]

Interestingly, the performer of this piece, Rolf Lislevand, is rather critical of Kapsberger: "He [Kapsberger] was as bad a composer as he was a fine instrumentalist. The ideas are often badly developed, and are freely associated with one another; no real musical discourse is built up the rhythm—even after serious efforts at fathoming it—wavers between inspired cleverness and total confusion.”

[ssri]

BTW, this track can be found on the out-of-print CD "Libro quarto d'Intavolatura di chitarrone," performed by Mr. Lislevand.

[ssri]

The Lislevand quote came from Allmusic Guide.

[dolofonos]

@ssri He does write rather fantastically, doesn't he? The master of phrase is not always the master of composition . . . but his abilities are dwarfed by the giants of his age. I should still have been glad to hear him play . . . one must listen very hard to understand Kapsberger and I imagine the only one who truly did was he.

[fastfingers110]

great jam at the end it sounds like sixteenths than trips than fiftlets!

[fastfingers110]

sweeeeeeeeeeet!

[cowserkelly]

hey thanks for posting this. it is so amazing. I have been trying to get a copy of this CD but it's out of stock everywhere? does anyone know an online store that has it?

[mrmolinodelahoz]

Nice typical antique music with nice collections of photographs from both sides of Atlantic.

The dance quality has been well in evidence here.

[juicysundaycat]

Love it, thank you so much!

[hzjs4n]

excelente selección deimagenes para tan bella melodia

[skeptikulo]

Belo, porém não podemos esquecer que Kapsberger roubou este tema musical de Alessandro Piccinini.

[hdiylove7]

Special.

[arkhangelsk]

this is incredible. are there other recordings of it elsewhere?

[skeptikulo]

In the video "Tommie Andersson ludas teorbon" you can watch the original version without arrangements. This is a theme by Piccinini.

[arkhangelsk]

beautiful! thank you so much!

[fluffytom82]

The "theme" is not by Piccinini. The ciaccona is like the passamezzo and la follia a ground bass that dates from the beginning of the 16th century (about 100 years before Piccinini) and has been used by many composers. Look up ciaccona's by Storace, Merula, Kapsberger, Piccinini and many others. They all sound the same because they all use the same basic harmonic pattern and bass line.

[koliatima]

Merci pour cette belle vidéo! J'aime beaucoup Kapsberger et l'interprétation de Rolf Lislevand.

[TheEnglishWarrior]

I love listening to this stuff whilst drinking wine and being fed grapes by a beautiful woman betwixt gulps!

[Davccelion]

@TheEnglishWarrior, excuse me if I dare to say that this seems to be the dream of one out of two men...

[Steinbach1984]

@Davccelion Yes, one in two has this dream and the other doesn't like early music :-)

[SlugaBoziji]

@TheEnglishWarrior

Well dear sir, you surely do know how to enjoy! :)

[FedericoArango]

i have been trying to find this song on the internet. does anyone know its exact name and where i could download it? there are many chaccones. but please the exact name and info would be much appreciated...

[allengarvin]

It's Rolf Lislevand, from his album of Kapsberger's libro quarto. It's the imaginative and varied continuo that really makes this piece great.

[cowiekelly]

Beautiful, I love it... lifts the spirits!

[siomnibus]

Bravíssimo!!!

[JeremyNasmith]

Bravo Rolf Lislevand!!!

Kapsberger is great!

[RunningLionWoman]

I love, love, love this piece of music. It touches my heart so deeply, I can't describe it.

[skeptikulo]

OK, great music. But remember, Kapsberger stoled it from Alessandro Piccinini.

[youknowImsaying]

great tunes you are posting mate,

just find your chanel,and im really glad

[TheLoneliOne]

This is more than awesome!!!!

[JohannesKapsberger]

This Ciaconna always puts me on the right type of mood!

[fcoundavisconti]

espectacular

[AMJAKER]

Great music!

What's the name and author of the painting of angels playing the lute and horn?

[gropsch]

The painter is Hans MEMLING ( Flanders, XVth cent.)

[jsaltod]

Quien Toca? es Hasperion XXI? Jordi savall? Tiene toda la pinta

[kitstr]

The pictures are also beautiful, although the transitions are distracting.

[jmdez]

KILLER TUNE. GREAT TRAVEL MUSIC!

[654321654321]

muy buen video.

me encanta esta pieza.

[DILMADEOLIVERA]

felicitaciones Danensago, por tus bellos videos musicales san fantasticos, muy hermosos y sensibles!

[141407078989]

menudo trabajo editar todas esas imágenes sin que se repita ni una sola... mil gracias!!!

[jeffwny6]

Thanks for posting this wonderful piece.

Do you know if this particular performance is available on cd?

[broelias]

At the very end of the video presented here, you will see a label for either a cd or album.

[stsulpice]

Awesome!!! I love Lislevand's playing!

[bacb88]

This is wonderful! Who's performing it?

[danensago]

Rolf Lislevand

[Yaxwitz]

@danensago what is the name of the disc?

[pc0sence]

My favourite of this composer. The tune is probaply played by Rolf Lislevand. I do not want to admit that he is the only Norwegian that has specialised in early type of music.

Come rain or shine, this music is it.
