The Pleasures of Love and Libation: Airs by Julie Pinel and other Parisian Women. La Donna Musicale’s concert will explore the contribution of Parisian women to the French Baroque and Rococo genres of the airs sérieux and airs à boire (serious and drinking songs). These song forms celebrate passionate longing and dissolute intoxication. Julie Pinel (fl. 1737) is our featured composer, and we include several selections from her 1737 publication Nouveau recueil d’airs. Music composed by unknown Parisian women and by Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre is included as well. This concert recreates the luxuriant environment of an intimate Parisian salon, replete with the sounds of voices in solo, duo settings, with flute and violin accompaniment and supported by the captivating tones of the harpsichord, and viola da gamba. Also included is psalm VI from the Seven Psalm of David by Antonia Bembo.
