Giulianiad: The Music of Mauro Giuliani

The Salish Sea Early Music Festival presents GIULIANIAD, its final 2013 program featuring works for flute and guitar by Mauro Giuliani on period instruments with John Schneiderman (Los Angeles) on the early 19th-century guitar and Jeffrey Cohan on an 8-keyed flute made in London in 1820 on Wednesday, May 29 at 7:30 PM at Bethel Church on Vashon Island. Please see details above, and below for additional performances around the Puget Sound.
Clearly the most famous composer of music for flute and guitar, Mauro Giuliani was a phenomenal guitar virtuoso whose music is very rarely heard on the instruments with which he and his friend Beethoven were familiar. These are considerably sweeter, more intimate and expressively nuanced than their modern equivalents. Giuliani composed the "cream" of the flute and guitar duo repertoire from Beethoven’s time, which includes duos, serenades, divertimenti, marches, dances, and arrangements of opera melodies and other popular tunes of his day in variations and potpourris.
