- English below - Bassa, meiri bassa!
Á tónleikum Low Key Ensemble verður haldið í könnunarleiðangur um lendur fylgiraddarinnar, basso continuo. Við beinum sviðsljósinu að djúpum og myrkum hljóðheimi bassahljóðfæra, hins hlédræga hljóðfærahóps sem myndar undirstöður barokktónlistar, og heyrum sjaldgæf verk, oft í útsetningum hópsins sjálfs, fyrir víólu, selló, bassa, lútu og sembal.
Flutt verður ítölsk snemmbarokktónlist eftir Frescobaldi, franskt hábarokk eftir Couperin, Rameau og Boismortier og þýskt eðalbarokk eftir meistara Bach. Við heyrum einmana lútutóna, kraftmikinn sembalslátt, selló í gervi gömbu og víólu í gervi sellós. Ef til vill slæðast nokkrir þjóðlagatónar einnig með. Sama hvað gengur á er mottóið okkar þetta: Meiri bassa!

Bass, More Bass!
Low Key Ensemble invites audiences on a journey into the domain of the basso continuo. We shall explore the deep and dark sound world of bass instruments, the modest and unassuming group of instruments that forms the foundation of Baroque music, while presenting rarely heard works, often in arrangements by the ensemble itself, for viola, cello, bass, lute, and harpsichord.
The program features Italian early Baroque music by Frescobaldi, French high Baroque by Couperin, Rameau, and Boismortier, and German high Baroque by the great Bach. We will hear solitary lute tones, vigorous harpsichord playing, a cello in the guise of a viola da gamba, and a viola in the guise of a cello. Perhaps a few folk songs will also find their way in. Whatever happens, our motto remains the same: More bass!
