PANDOLFI MEALLI Chaconne from "La Castella" Baroque Cello & Theorbo

Soundtrack from a LIVE Concert at the
Dorfkirche Berlin-Rahnsdorf, 25.04.2009

Giovanni Antonio Pandolfi Mealli (Innsbruck, ca. 1660) Chaconne
(originally for Violin and Basso continuo)

Not much is reported about the life of the violinist Mealli (also named Pandolfi). He left Innsbruck on Feb., 15th. 1660 and is one of the most important connecting elements between earlier italian music (Uccellini, Castello) and the famous violinists Schmelzer and Biber. This sonata was named after the Innsbruck organist and kaplan Antonio Castelli (not after the wellknown venzian composer Darius Castella).


Duo Continuo
Dorothea Andreae - Baroquecello
Siegfried Andreae - Theorbo in d

All kind of old ostinato music has a positive effect on personnel well-being (music for relaxation, not making you sleepy).

The videoclip gives an overview of a plenty of spring flowers in our natural garden in Berlin.

lovely version !!!

i would like to get the score but the only available free score requires sibelius... unfortunately i can't somehow install it on my pc... T-T ...any suggestions ?

[DuoContinuo]

Dear friend,

thanks for the compliment - the original score does not have a printed figured bass, only the descending tetrachord is given ;-))....

the melody voice is on it´s way to you.

regards - S.

to several questions, did reach us:

- yes, it´s one point stereo (with the two front microphones of the ZOOM H2),

- there was no mastering (only cutting, and the the applause was reduced to 25%)

- the theorbo played with 2/3 power only (no nails, no metal in the strings)

- the speed of playing was adjusted to the accoustic of this small church (check the first bars, a theorbo is more "percussive" as a guitar or baroque lute, nearly all energy is radiated out within some millisec.)

hi Oswaldo, dear friend,

many thanks for your so kind comment and the questions.

1. caution, Ciaconas (and other ostinato pieces) make you addicted to ;-)) ...

2. as written in our homepage (see there also the contents of the CD`s), we allow any private use of our music, for ringtones, waiting music, weddings, taking a shower ...

as you do no start to sell the stuff commercially ;-)) .

[DuoContinuo]

3. CD´are sent worldwide in bubble-wrap cardboard airmail letters (no jewelcases, but cover and content sheet included) by worldwide airmail letter for 6,50 EUR + 5 EUR for each CD (4 different CD´s possible). the sound quality is much better than you ever can have at youtube.

4. we have rather (wild) "natural garden". mowing starts (by hand/scythe//guadana!!) as late as in the middle of june, to let work the leaf of the bulb flowers....

muchos saludos cordiales - Siegfried y Dorothea
