O MÁS QUE VENUS

Music of the Colonial Power Spain in the 16th and 17th Centuries

Financial transactions with the Spanish crown and the mercury mines in Castile were important pillars of the Fugger economic empire. That is why the concert series "The Fuggers and Music" features compositions from the Spanish dominions of the 16th and 17th centuries.

Iris Lichtinger (Renaissance and Baroque flutes) and Axel Wolf (vihuela, theorbo and Baroque guitar) will perform works by Diego Ortiz and the moving declaration of love "O más que Venus" by an anonymous Spanish composer, among others. In addition to compositions from the "Trattado de Glosas" published in 1553 by the Spaniard Diego Ortiz, who was active in the Spanish-controlled kingdom of Naples at the time, the programme includes music by the Spanish Renaissance composers and vihuelists Luís de Milan and Alonso Mudarra, as well as by Andrea Falconieri, another musician active in Naples and from the Spanish colonies in South America.
