My Favorite Baroque Piece 🎶
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 มิ.ย. 2023
- A LIVE performance I gave of one of my favorite pieces of all time. "The Nymphs Lament" (Lamento della Ninfa) by Monteverdi is a deeply moving piece from the 17th century Baroque period. It tells the tale from the perspective of three male singers who take pity on the tragedy of a young girl who lost her love and now her mind.
Ensemble Affekten:
Andrew Major, artistic director
Victoria Marshall, soprano
Michaël Hudetz, tenor
Dario Amador-Lage, baritone
Walter Aldrich, bass-baritone
Brandon Acker, theorbo

I'm always pleased how the theorbo cuts through, even (and particularly) those wonderful bass notes!
I really appreciate the subtitles. Knowing what the song is about makes it so much more poignant. Wonderful performance, too.
I agree . I find it frustrating when i listen to an opera air i like but i don 't understand a word the singer sings .
There’s no one like Monteverdi to hit you right in the feels❤
This has got to be one of the most sad, lamenting pieces ive heard. Beautiful none the less..
Yeah--that descending motif is very gut-wrenching. Pachelbel, Lully, and others used it too.
Victoria Marshall! What a fantastic voice! This piece is so achingly beautiful in every way. Brandon is fantastic, as are the male vocalists. Bravissimo!
This is also part of my internal soundtrack. Monteverdi is unsurpassed, and this is a superb performance of my favorite Monteverdi piece. Brava! Bravo! Bravissimo! Thanks for this.
My Favorite Baroque song too.
The Theorbo in its natural element.
Mi piace tanto la musica barocca e anche la musica rinascimentale
Oh that I could give more than a single thumbs up! TH-cam should have the option to add a few dozen more.
Ah ! Ah ! Yeah ,i wish it too sometimes 😅
What a delightful polyphony! That must be so great and thrilling to accompany such a piece/repertory. Wonderful controled dissonances (voices, not so much the theorbo) and expressivity !
What a moving, beautiful piece, bravo!
🎸Join a LIVE classical guitar masterclass THIS Saturday on Zoom: arpeggiato.com/events
Pieces covered will include "Leyenda" and "Un Dia De Noviembre."
Mine too! never knew you had played this!
Every time you post a theorbo performance it makes me want to pick up one or at least a lute. The temptation is strong....
evocative and compelling
This piece is one of my favorites one, it's beautiful
This weekend in Australia ABC ClassicFM radio is having its annual “top 100” count down. This year’s theme is “favorite instruments” which the public vote for.
Thanks to @brandon.acker.guitar , many of my 10 votes go to “all things that go pluck” - including the exquisite Theorbo
Many thanks and much love from Australia 🇦🇺
Baroque music..... I can't stop watching this video !
Очень красиво! Молодцы! Удивитеьные голоса и инструмент!
It would be a treat if you would make a video playing and a tutorial. It’s such an emotionally driven piece. It’s one of those pieces that makes the hair on the back of your neck come to attention. I can’t wait to learn it, even as a beginner. Thank you for your response. Anthony
Oh la la ! As a beginner ? Sounds ambitious !!!
Thanks for the caption,Brandon, reading along made me appreciate the performance even better
Sentimental...❤
This is incredible!
Sounds incredible!
go to 0:46 for advanced hair maneuver
! How is that even possible??
That’s my secret technique to navigate the passagio into head voice.
Beautiful!
Beautiful
Absolutely beautiful!
Gorgeous!!!
Very nice performance. Bravo!
Lovely!
So beautiful…
Oh this is lovely 😍
love it. done to perfection
Beautiful performance.
Beautiful! Omg! 😍 ❤️
Beautiful.
Absolutely stunning. Thank you for introducing me to this masterpiece. Also amazing singers!
Stunning performance all ❤❤❤
now these is my favorite is just amazing
Also one of my favorites ❤️❤️❤️
10/10 performance
Wonderful performance! ☺️👏
I could listen to the soloist all day. Fabulous.
It was incredible!! Beautiful and hauntingly sad.
Oh my gosh this is exquisite. Thank you.
Bravo!
👏👏👏👏👏 Amazing Performance!
Amazing performance, and the piece - de facto sound of lament bass
Wow!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Maravilhoso
It’s enough to make your heart ache.
This is so unbelievably gorgeous
I understand :) It really lifts
So few people now about this piece! Base line is insanely beautiful in this.
Absolutely love the speed changed (I know nothing about musical theory and what else to call it lol), it makes it almost proggy!
Bravissimo!
Great choice, Brandon! I'm a fan of this piece too. Although his 'Vespers' is magnificent too!
This is one of my favorite baroque pieces too! Awesome that you love it too. So hauntingly beautiful
I don 't have an absolute favourite.
Let 's say i enjoy fast baroque more generally .
Some baroque things i like :
Rompo i lasci HAENDEL
Sperai vincino il lido Gluck
Come ye sons of art PURCELL
Amen VIVALDI (NISI DOMINUS )
Not baroque things i like :
Largo al factotum ROSSINI ( LE BARBIER DE SÉVILLE )
Brindisi VERDI ( LA TRAVIATA )
Di Tanti palpiti ROSSINI
EPIC scalp glissando at 0:47
That descending riff is heavy. I can hear a few heavy rock/metal songs in it!
Gorgeous performance! Does justice to the dessert-like richness of Monteverdi's textures. Yum.
Manifestons tous pour le retour du theorbe !!!! 😋
Sorry , i did not answer to the right comment so it sounds nonsense obviously ! 😅
Just lovely. (Even if on the very cusp of the Baroque)
😭hermoso
Quite lovely in all, lovely phrasing but I can't help think (after having performed this very piece myself) that you would be stronger without a conductor. The ability of the three male voices to breathe and unite would be a strength. You have the voices and the blend is great ... just take it a bit further I reckon.
Very beautiful performance. I think your interpretation would deserve a better place, for the atmosphere and for the sound rendering. Yes, this piece is definitively one summit of the baroque music. If after working it you don't understand what the term "affetto" means, give up with music ;-) So Brandon... is it a Passacaille or a Chaconne ? I think that at the time of Monteverdi, the terminology was still very fuzzy... it differentiated later.
What a beautiful piece. This is unrelated, but I'd love to see a video or just hear your thoughts on carbon strings. I love your channel, please keep doing as you do🙏🏻
Thanks!
I'm not a fan of carbon. I know it's mainstream but I'm more interested in historical techniques. I prefer gut strings and if not gut, nylgut by Aquila.
Bravo!!!!! Brandon, thank you very much for sharing this beautiful piece with us. Baroque music performed so gracefully is really hard to find now days.
Have you listened to the Arpeggiata ensemble directed by Christina Pluhar ? Awsome !!
Or Philippe Jaroussky 's orchestra Artaserse
Let 's make Farinelli come back from death ! Ah ! Ah ! Ah ! 😂😂( but not with his balls cut ,poor man !!)
@@virginielafrench3921 No I haven't but I will try and find it. Thanks
@@virginielafrench3921 LOL
What a wonderful interpretation, and another proof why the theorbo is so great for basso continuo.
Manifestons tous pour le retour du theorbe !!! 😋
@@virginielafrench3921 Mais il est déjà de retour depuis un moment, enfin.
@@alexanderfo3886 je voulais dire dans les écoles et les magasins de musique.
Combien tu connais de cours de theorbe de nos jours,toi ? 😋😋😆
L 'élève potentiel : bonjour ,je voudrais prendre des cours de THEORBE
Le prof de gratte ou la secrétaire : 😳😳😳🤪
@@virginielafrench3921 Ben, il faut commencer par la guitare classique, avancer assez et puis s'habituer au luth ou la théorbe. Voilà.
@@alexanderfo3886 je sais pas ,je ne pratique pas la guitare .
Mais je sais qu 'un piano et un clavier électronique c 'est similaire ( j 'ai eu des cours couplés pour les 2 instruments ) .
Par contre ,je sais aussi qu 'un piano et un clavecin ,ça fonctionne pas pareil : le clavecin , cordes frottées et le piano ,cordes frappées !
Quand aux partoches ,j 'ignore si ce sont les mêmes. J 'ai jamais vu une partition pour clavecin et je pratique pas cet instrument. Ben non ,je vis pas dans un manoir ni un château donc j 'ai ni la place, ni le fric pour !! 😄
That looks like the most unwieldly instrument to play. Sounds awesome.
I can't tell who.. exactly is the conductor, or the choir is in sync with. But you're on point along with the soprano, at least :p Sounds great, and really points out how the Chittarone would have been used as a compliment to the performance, not just accompaniment, imo.
Good observation! Historically there wouldn't be a conductor for this piece. In this performance he is mainly conducting the three male singers. I'm just listening and playing with what I hear.
I am not into Monteverdi works but you did a good job all together and the girl has a heavenly voice .
Well ,i know there is a debate about Monteverdi .Some classify him as Renaissance, others as Baroque .
To me ,it sounds ....Renaissance.
Thanks!
I dont think it's much of a debate personally. Baroque music is a style based on the novel idea, at the time, of text centric music. This is what Monteverdi is all about. Seconda prattica or Nuove Musiche.
@@brandonacker merci pour ta réponse. 🙂
To me ,there are 2 sorts of baroque :
The fast one ,the Louis Quatorze/Farinelli style i would call it : Lully, Haendel,
The slow one like Rameau or Royer pieces for the harpsichord , chaconnes ....
I am not really into the second type .
I prefer the Farinelli type . I am a big countertenors fan !!!
Ah well the style is definitely different but the composers you mentioned are late baroque (high baroque) and Monteverdi is very early baroque do the music sounds quite different
@@brandonacker obviously. And many thanks for making things clearer to me .
I studied the history of painting but not the history of music .
So i can roughly have an idea of the period but not always of the century .
Hard sometimes to me also to know which composer lived before which composer .
Great performance. Your instrument cuts through the vocals fairly well.
Anyway, I hope you could do a Chaconne someday
Done ! Brandon recorded Chaconne en sol mineur de Robert de Visée.
Wow
a banger
Hello Brandon, what a pleasure to contact you for the first time. I know you get this a lot, but you are quite the musician and very inspiring to me. Anyway, the reason for my inquiry is I just listened to Handel MWV 437 in Dm by Segovia, and I want to learn it even though I’m just starting out. Have you ever played it? If so, I would love to hear it! Thank you, Anthony Chaiken Love Your Channel!!
You are very kind! I'd recommend listening to the original version. Even better. th-cam.com/video/xOLQd_pUbxs/w-d-xo.html
Frisson!

Always suspicious about this old music... But dang its lit
Everything sounds better with theorbo.
2:18 sounds like Led Zeppelin "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You"
Claude GreenMountains beautiful
mash'Allah
🙏💐🌷🌹🌼🌸🌺🍄
This makes most modern music sound like a pile of old tat. This is beyond amazing. Human expression at its best. 🥂✨
Most music in general is not great. That's what makes something great.
Huuuum ...am i allowed to enjoy rockabilly revival ( the Stray Cats ) or a bit of hard rock ? ( Scorpions, Whitesnake, Steve Vai ...) ??? 😅😅😅
Suprisly sounded more like Renaissance pieces 😮
Ah ! Someone thinking like me !!!
And i have a Renaissance music CD with a few pieces sounding like medieval music . Transition periods often sound like this .
Listen to " Enforce yourself as goddes knight " ! Early Renaissance music but sounds very medieval .
Listen to Mozart 's last pieces ! Announce Romaticism !
I surprisingly listened to a late Mozart work and thought it was ....Chopin !!!
I also guess Van Beethoven found some inspiration in Mozart
Get the soprano under control 😉
baroque'n'roll lml
No ,baroque n 'roll is a video called Rameau rock . One of my absolute favourites on you tube
I seem to have gotten something in my eye.
It must be the same thing that’s in mine! 😂
Have you ever perform in south America?
Hey Brandon, have you done " come ye sons of art " ? 😀
Hi, I haven't.
@@brandonacker would you like to ? I think it would be nice played by you
She reminds me of Philippe Jaroussky. Monteverdi reminds me of Michelangelo.
Emoke Barrath sounds more like Philippe Jaroussky in my opinion . But yes, she is very good ,i agree on this point .
And i simply adore my fellowcountryman Philippe.
@@virginielafrench3921 Yes, indeed. I really adore Philippe and Emőke Baráth too. : )
th-cam.com/video/qzOmPUu-F_M/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=NathalieStutzmann
What kind of lute do you play?
This is a theorbo.
@@brandonacker Oh! Thanks a bunch
Castlevania brought me here
Idk, Beethoven has been real quiet ever since this dropped...
really beautiful, but a lot of fuss about a bloke...
Would we call Montiverdi Renaissance or Baroque? This piece in particular seems to be much more happily Renaissance, with its Polyphny and general tonal weirdness.
Baroque. The passacaglia is very Baroque and the piece uses seconda practica (second practice) which is a baroque idea that music should be text centric and can have strange harmonies if it fits the text.
@@brandonacker That makes sense. Montiverdi is really fascinating for that, isn’t he? I guess I take him as a more so transitional composer, between the two worlds of Renaissance and Baroque music - though I was under the impression that the emphasis on the text was a Renaissance thing which the Baroque period departed from. I’m likely wrong about this, but aside from wherever I may have misread my info, the baroque period seems to have less primarily vocal works overall.
@@quinnsine1650 Yes it sounds like you have things a bit backwards there. I'd look up the Florentine Camerata, Caccini's preface to Nuove Musiche, Seconda Prattica. The Baroque period has more vocal works that we can count (opera, oratorios, music for voice and continuo, cantatas, the list is endless.
@@brandonacker will do! Thanks! Are there any other good texts on music history you’d reccomend?
