Scarlatti Duo
Trumpet and Soprano appears to
be a radical pairing. The trumpet is associated with Military, Religious
and Regal splendour and for that to be blended with any form of quieter
instrument or voice seems absurd. In the Baroque era it was discovered
that by playing in the high register of the trumpet it was possible to
match the softer sound of the human voice.
Composers such as Bach, Handel, Purcell, Scarlatti and Vivaldi all used
this combination with great success, in repertoire spanning Opera Arias,
Cantata's, Birthday Odes and Entr'actes.
