Amor Dormiglione - Sleepyhead Amor
Cupid, sleep no more! Up, up! Wake up!
For while you sleep, my pleasures also sleep, and troubles awake. Be not behind. Up, rays and fire!
O lazy one, slow one, you have no understanding, stupid, cowardly Cupid! Oh, what a one I remain, that you sleep in my embers!
Cupid, sleep no more! Up, up! Wake up!B. Strozzi
Dear friends of our ensemble,
sleepless and drunk with joy, we are currently moving from rehearsal to rehearsal between three wonderful churches and their respective unique organ sounds.
There we combine the works of Barbara Strozzi with the perspective of three contemporary female composers and writers on the work of the baroque artist on the occasion of her 400th birthday. In addition to Strozzi's virtuoso tone-painting arias, three premiered works are on the programme of this sound radio play for organ and chamber ensemble. And the life and smile of Da Vinci's Mona Lisa is also an inspiration for the stories we tell in SLEEPLESS LOVE sonorous narration. Rarely have baroque ideals and modern forms of female expression been thought together in this way!
