| Musica Dolce |
Musica Dolce is an outreach performing ensemble of the Highland Park
Recorder Society. Like their sixteenth-and seventeenth-century counterparts,
the members of Musica Dolce meet to share artistic discoveries and ideas as
reflected in music. Combining solo strings and winds with a harpsichord
continuo, the musicians explore the vast repertory of concerti, suites, sonatas,
fantasias, dances and sinfonias created by composers at the courts and in the
cities of France, Italy, England, Spain and Germany. Musica Dolce seeks to
recreate the spirit of an age that led composers to create complex scores, but
allowed for a great deal of personal interpretation and embellishment. Share
with them the pleasure and excitement of the music of the Renaissance and
Baroque within the intimate ambiance of the camerata.
Musica Dolce plays sonatas, concerti and suites by members of the Bach
family, Handel, Telemann, Vivaldi, Corelli, Scarlatti, Marcello, Purcell,
Boismortier, Hotteterre, Quantz, and other masters of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries.
Members of the Highland Park Recorder Society, and of the Garden State
Sinfonia, its chamber orchestra, and members of Musica Dolce (recorder,
cello, harpsichord, and most recently, violin) do outreach performing in the
community, and for under-served populations, such as disabled children and
adults, senior citizens, inner-city children, disabled New Jersey veterans, and
residents of nursing homes.
Musica Dolce includes Donna Messer, recorder, Lea Karpman, violin, Janet
Walker, cello and Dean Poulsen, harpsichord.
