Echoes of the Spanish Baroque

Programme to include:
Handel No se emendará jamás, HWV 140
Lully ‘Sé que me muero de amor’ from Le bourgeois gentilhomme
Soler (arr. Lowe Ensemble) Fandango, R146

This programme will feature works by Spanish composers as well as French, Italian and English composers who were deeply influenced by Spanish culture and language.

Notable highlights include Handel’s rare and colourful profane Spanish cantata, No se emendará jamás, and Lully’s ‘Sé que me muero de amor’ from Le bourgeois gentilhomme, which reflect the allure of the Spanish language and its poetic expressiveness. Lowe Ensemble are also thrilled to present their own arrangement of Fandango by Antonio Soler, recorded with support from Continuo Foundation.

Lowe Ensemble is a Baroque music group made up of five siblings with British and Spanish roots, currently based in London. Driven by a shared passion for Baroque music, they bring the music of the 17th and 18th centuries to today’s stage and audiences, with performances that blend the beauty of historical music with the closeness of their family within the immediacy of the contemporary stage, creating a unique and powerful experience to share with audiences from all backgrounds.
