Ars Antigua Presents - Christof Graupner (1683-1760) - Chaconne, GW472

Our program features the modern premiere of the Overture and Chaconne GW472 by Christof Graupner (1683-1760) for viola damore, oboe damore, traverso damore and strings. This performance by Ars Antigua directed by Jerry Fuller features soloists William Bauer, viola damore; Joyce Alper, oboe damore; and Cuauhtemoc Trejo, traverso damore.

Although the Overture and Chaconne by Christoph Graupner were known to musicologists since the 1950s, it was finally studied, edited, and prepared for performance in 2007 by Kim Clow, an independent music scholar in New York. Kims goal is to publish all of Graupners neglected orchestral works. Graupner was a contemporary of Johann Sebastian Bach and was the first choice of the Leipzig town council to be Cantor at St Thomas Church , the post that subsequently went to Bach.
