> Saturday 6th July - 9 PM . Basilique Notre-Dame
This oratorio marks an important milestone in Handel’s personal history as well as the
evolution of his musical language. He composed Saul right after the opera Serse in 1739.
Handel was inspired by a text with well-rounded characters and dramatic effects to great
powerful music. The story of Saul focuses on the first king of Israel's relationship with his
successor, David as well as David’s relationship with Merab, and Michal, daughters of Saul but
also Saul’s friendship with Jonathan and the war between Philistines and Hebrews.
Remarkable arias are: David’s «Oh Lord, whose mercies numberless», Jonathan’s «Sin not, o
King» or Merab’s vigorous aria «My soul rejects the thought». The most remarkable part of the
oratorio is the intensely dramatic scene when Saul asks the Witch of Endor to raise the ghost
of Samuel the prophet in the powerful recitative "Wretch that I am!".

We continue the Lully opera cycle with the conductor Christophe Rousset performing Isis,
Lully’s 7th opera, in collaboration with Les Talents Lyriques. This masterpiece is rich with
wonderful parts like « lament for Pan” in act 3 or the famous tremolos choir (which is said to
have inspired the frost scene in Purcell’s King Arthur). Isis has a reputation for being a
‘musicians’ opera’. In this opera the principal character starts out as the nymph Io but ends up
as the Egyptian goddess Isis. Her beauty has made her irresistible to Jupiter, and even though
she prefers to remain faithful to her lugubrious lover Hierax she incurs the wrath of Jupiter’s
wife Juno, who subjects her to various vindictive torments. The situation is resolved by an
extraordinary reconciliation between Jupiter and Juno, in which they both pledge to change
their ways and to reprieve Io by means of her transformation into Isis.

Dixit Dominus is Handel’s most famous motet which he composed in Rome in 1707, at the age of
22. The pieces embody a kind of excitement and freedom, and a richness of ideas, which he takes
over later in his English oratorios. You can hear him stretching his musical wings in this music, and
it certainly doesn’t fail to take off in these very lively performances. Handel’s music is based on
Gregorian melodies using the “plain chant” in cantus firmus like a Lutheran chorus. The work is
divided into nine movements, scored for a five-part chorus and five soloists. Handel conveys the
power of the assured, martial text through contrasts between movements as well as within each
movement. The piece also contains numerous examples of word painting, where the sound of the
music imitates the imagery of the text. In addition to the program we will hear Vivaldi’s Gloria RV
589. Vivaldi had the great chance to work with one of the best Venetian ensembles and he
composed his sacred music for famous young girls of the Pietà.

Serse is one of the few Handel operas to be considered an opera buffa since it includes comic
elements. Persian King Xerxes and his brother Arsamene are both in love with Romilda.
Romilda being in love with Arsamene, Xerxes banishes him. Romilda’s sister, Atalanta, also in
love with Arsamene, hatches a plot for Romilda to become Xexes wife. Finally, with Ariodate
marrying Arsamene and Romilda the opera has a happy ending. The amazing opening aria
"Ombra mai fu" is said to be one of Handel’s most famous, also known as larghetto. Followed
by a series of arias and arioso considered among the best in the world of opera: arioso of
Romilda, arioso of Romilda and Xerxes in Act II, aria "Che cede al furore" of Romilda at the
end of Act II, aria of Xexes "Crude furie degl'orridi abissi" in Act III and the long arioso of
Atalanta "Voi mi dite". Serse is considered several times to be a Mozart like opera by the
famous Handel musicologist Winton Dean with Romilda reminding Konstanze from The
Abduction from the Seraglio and Atalanta reminding Susanna from The Marriage of Figaro.

After last Summer’s success with “Il Barbiere di Siviglia”, the famous conductor Jérémie Rorer
together with his orchestra will give the famous Symphony No. 9 on period instruments. This
universal masterpiece, Beethoven’s last symphony, was the first example of a major composer
using voices in a symphony. The words; taken from the "Ode to Joy", a poem written by
Friedrich Schiller, have today become the world symbol of peace between the nations and the
people. Jérémie Rhorer and his orchestra “Le Cercle de l’Harmonie” will without doubt reach
our hearts and souls.

Valentin Tournet, aged 22, and his ensembles of La Chapelle Harmonique as conductor in
residence. As first opera he will conduct Les Indes Galantes composed by famous Burgundian
composer Rameau. We have chosen the 1761 version of Rameau’s opéra-ballet: with
prologue and three entrées The Generous Turk, The Incas of Peru and The Savages. The
Generous Turk is associated with water and a storm at sea, The Incas of Peru with Earth and
volcanic eruption and The Savages with dancing. From every point of view that matters, this is
a special Ramellian achievement.

At their first performance in Beaune in 1993, Paul McCreesh and his Gabrieli Consort and Players
triumphed with Purcell's masterpiece The Fairy Queen. The Fairy Queen was Purcell's biggest
success during his lifetime. It is a semi- opera with spoken dialogue and musical passages
including arias, dance performances, instrumental interludes and masques. The libretto is a free
adaptation of Shakespeare's play “A Midsummer Night's Dream”. It interweaves and subsequently
resolves three love intrigues: one between Titania, Queen of the Fairies, and her husband Oberon;
one involving two couples of young Athenian lovers (Lysander, Helena, Demetrius and Hermia)
and the comic play-within- a-play of the tragedy of Pyramus and Thisbe. The magical element
plays a key role in the opera. The fairies introduce all the musical scenes. Purcell’s work is almost
a musical with truly enchanting passages, in particular the figures of Night, Mystery, Secrecy and
Sleep, and the Dance for the Followers of Night in Act II; the madness of Titania who falls in love
with a donkey, and the famous aria "If Love's a Sweet Passion"; the lavish ceremony with trumpets
and timpani in the opening of Act IV; Juno, the goddess of marriage's aria "Thrice happy lovers"
and the dazzling series of solos and choruses for the Chinese men and women in Act V.

King Arthur is a good example of English opera at this time, even more than Fairy Queen, a
dramatic opera with a scene music that differs from action. King Arthur is Purcell’s most popular
opera filled with enchantments and magic. It contains some of Purcell's most lyrical music, i.e.
“Cold Genius” in Act 3 inspired by Lully’s Isis or “Fairest isle”, a stunning tribute to the isle of
Brittany. There is no knights of the round table, no Guenievre; no Lancelot, but a tale centered
on King Arthur’s endeavors to build a united kingdom and recover his fiancée from Oswald and
his wizard Osmond.

Stabat Mater allow Pergolesi to compose a religious, theatrical, music with slow movements, from
largo to andante and from lento to adagio. Andreas Scholl and Mari Eriksmoen are accompanied

We have the pleasure to welcome again Damien Guillon in a tempting program dedicated to
Purcell’s (and Dowland’s) remarkable arias and songs like If Music be the food of Love, Strike the
Viol, Here the Deities approve or Music for a while. Music for a while is a song for voice and basso
continuo, where the voice is accompanied by an instrumental part featuring an ascending ground
bass. Additional harmonies are supplied by the musicians playing continuo. A century stands
between Dowland and Purcell, but the musical influence is obvious. Dowland (1563-1626)
expresses amorous passion with sweetness and intimacy, whereas they are more extraverted and
theatrical with Purcell (1659-1695), announcing the Handel opera style. A strong musical and
stylistic relation between both composers in masterpieces like Dowland’s « Flow my tears » and
Purcell’s « Music for a while » is obvious.

After last Summer’s success with Handel’s opera Rodrigo, the Romanian soprano Ana Maria
Labin will be in Beaune again. She is going to perform some of Mozart’s great opera arias like:
Donna Anna (Don Giovanni), Contessa (Nozze di Figaro), Fiordiligi (Cosi), Arminda (Finta
Giardiniera), Pamina (Die Zauberflöte), Elettra (Idomeneo)… With her performance in
Handel’s Rodrigo, Ana Maria Labin earned critical praise, e.g. from Jean-Philippe Grosperin of
Diapason magazine: “Her art of controlling and imaging the voice of Esilena is naturally
confusing. Her instrumental knowledge never drains the complete noble humanity of the
character. « Per dar pregio” is the emblem of its constancy. The variety of the appoggiaturas,
the tireless coloration of this radiant voice, the ability to held together majesty, vehemence and
vulnerability, the depth of thoughts, together with the face and gestures make it unforgettable.
Great artist and special evening, that honor a festival”
