The programme reveals a refined language of gesture and colour\, shaped by dance rhythms and lyric al lines\, and features the complete Partita No. 2 in D minor for Solo Vio lin by Bachalongside works by Biber\, Kapsberger\, Telemann and Piccinini. Shaun Lee-Chen is internationally recognised for his work in historically informed performance and is Concertmaster of the Australian Brandenburg Or chestra. He is joined by Krista Low\, a versatile performer whose work spa ns Baroque\, contemporary and chamber music\, and a founding member of the Perth-based ensemble HIP Company\, and Alexis Chin\, a guitarist and theo rbo player with a strong interest in music of the 16th to 18th centuries a nd a growing reputation as a sensitive continuo musician. Together\, the t rio bring stylistic insight\, balance and a shared commitment to early rep ertoire.Details &\; Tickets | Grace &\; OrnamentThe ProgramMystery S onata No. 1 in D minorHeinrich Ignaz Franz BiberHeinrich Biber’s Mystery Sonatas (also known as the Rosary Sonatas) stand among the most imaginati ve achievements of the seventeenth-century violin repertoire. Composed aro und 1676\, the cycle comprises fifteen sonatas and a concluding passacagli a\, each reflecting a devotional “mystery” from the life of Christ and the Virgin Mary.The first sonata\, The Annunciation\, depicts the angel G abriel’s message to Mary. Unlike most of the later sonatas in the set\, it employs standard tuning rather than the altered tunings\, or scordatura \, for which the collection is famous. Even so\, Biber’s writing is rich ly symbolic. Brilliant flourishes and radiant passagework evoke Gabriel’ s arrival\, while moments of poised stillness suggest Mary’s humility an d contemplation. The work balances theatricality with inward devotion\, se tting the spiritual and musical tone for the remarkable journey that follo ws in the complete cycle.Canzona PrimaGiovanni Girolamo KapsbergerGiovanni Girolamo Kapsberger was one of the most celebrated virtuosi of early seve nteenth-century Rome\, renowned for his skill on the theorbo and his bold\ , often experimental compositional style. His Canzona Prima reflects the i nstrumental idiom of the early Baroque\, when composers were exploring new freedoms of form and expression.The canzona evolved from the Renaissance chanson\, but by Kapsberger’s time it had become a vehicle for contrast and invention. Imitative passages unfold into more rhythmically animated s ections\, combining contrapuntal craft with an improvisatory spirit. The w ork’s changing textures and gestures reveal the emerging Baroque fascina tion with affect and rhetoric\, music conceived as a persuasive and expres sive language.Fantasia No. 7 in E-flat majorGeorg Philipp TelemannGeorg Ph ilipp Telemann was among the most prolific and admired composers of his er a. His Fantasias for solo instrument demonstrate his ability to suggest ha rmonic richness and contrapuntal interplay within a single melodic line.Fa ntasia No. 7 in E-flat major unfolds in contrasting sections that alternat e lyricism with dance-like vitality. Telemann’s melodic writing is both graceful and inventive\, frequently implying multiple voices through arpeg giation and contour. The work exemplifies the gallant clarity emerging in the early eighteenth century\, while retaining the expressive depth of the high Baroque tradition. It is music that speaks with elegance and immedia cy.Ciaccona in partite variateAlessandro PiccininiAlessandro Piccinini was a pioneering Italian lutenist whose publications helped shape the develop ment of plucked string repertoire in the early Baroque. His Ciaccona in pa rtite variate is built upon the repeating harmonic framework characteristi c of the chaconne.Over this grounding bass pattern\, Piccinini spins a seq uence of increasingly ornate variations. The music alternates between rhyt hmic propulsion and intricate embellishment\, demonstrating both technical brilliance and expressive nuance. The ciaccona’s repeating structure pr ovides a sense of inevitability\, while each variation introduces fresh co lour and character. In its balance of constancy and transformation\, the w ork embodies the Baroque fascination with variation as a metaphor for both order and invention.Partita No. 2 in D minor for Solo ViolinJohann Sebast ian BachJohann Sebastian Bach’s Partita No. 2 in D minor forms part of t he celebrated Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin\, composed during his y ears in Köthen. In these works\, Bach expanded the expressive and technic al possibilities of the instrument to unprecedented heights.The partita fo llows a dance sequence: Allemanda\, Corrente\, Sarabanda and Giga\, culmin ating in the monumental Ciaccona. While the earlier movements combine eleg ance with contrapuntal sophistication\, the final Ciaccona stands as one o f the towering achievements of the violin repertoire. Built on a repeating harmonic progression\, it unfolds across a vast architectural span\, enco mpassing grief\, radiance and transcendence. Through multiple stopping\, i mplied counterpoint and inexhaustible variation\, Bach creates the illusio n of an entire ensemble within a single instrument.The Partita as a whole exemplifies Bach’s ability to unite structural mastery with profound spi ritual depth\, bringing the programme to a conclusion of extraordinary exp ressive power.
