An Italian Dialogue in Music
Our musical offering to you this week is a beautiful instrumental piece by a gifted, Jewish contemporary of Claudio Monteverdi. It’s the Sonata in Dialogo by Salamone Rossi (1570-1630), and we’ve chosen it because it embodies friendly exchange and relationship — essentials we never want to lose sight of during a winter season of continued pandemic. Soloists are Bruce Dickey, cornetto, and Carol Lewis, treble viol, with Libor Dudas, organ, and Christa Patton, harp, from a December 2018 Boston Camerata concert. May our many conversations continue!
