Tripudiis Sonis Variis - A Jubilation of Sounds
Bridging Baroque and Improvised Music
A Tripudiis Sonis Variis (Latin for: “A Jubilation of Sounds”) lends its name to a repertoire shaped by Ilaria Crociani, Mirko Guerrini, and Steve Magnusson, exploring the many ways the legacy of Baroque music continues to resonate in the present, not as a distant relic, but as a living, transforming language.
In this program, the works of Monteverdi, Scarlatti, Strozzi, Purcell, Johnson and Kapsberger, among others, are revisited and allowed to unfold anew through improvisation. Ornaments, gestures, and silence become spaces of encounter, where past and present meet without hierarchy, and where listening itself becomes an essential part of creation.
A sense of re-awakening permeates the music. Memory and invention intertwine, allowing forms to shift and identities to dissolve, revealing beauty in unexpected ways. Each moment emerges in real time as part of a discourse still in motion.
Within the intimacy of this space, history draws closer. And in that closeness, we sense how passions, torments, desires, and hopes echo across time, showing that the human heart has always sought, longed, and dreamed in the same ways.
Ilaria Crociani – voice, harmonium
Mirko Guerrini – piano, sax, duduk, ethnic flutes, sound art
Steve Magnusson – guitars
Performing Music by:
Antonio Carissimi (1605–1674)
Claudio Monteverdi (1567–1643)
Alessandro Scarlatti (1660–1725)
Barbara Strozzi (1619–1677)
Henry Purcell (1659–1695)
John Dowland (c.1563-1626)
Johann Hieronymous Kapsberger (c.1580-1651)
I'm not sure Monteverdi could have imagined his music being played on an Indian harmonium, Armenian duduk and electric guitar, but somehow it all worked perfectly. It felt as though the musicians - and the audience-were tapping into something both ancient and eternal, demonstrating that the ability of this music to invoke both contemplation and elevation is as powerful now as it was four centuries ago.

The concert was superb, and just the kind of art music I want at Beleura while I am curating. The whole evening and the music was deeply moving. So beautifully creative, artistic and musical.
