A Gateway of music
Renaissance and baroque music at Charlottenlund Castle with Christian IV Vocal ensemble and the esteemed orchestra Hamburger Ratsmusik.
The idea of music as a gateway to a higher consciousness is not new; Ever since ancient times music has been viewed as something that transcends this world and lets the listener become part of something divine.
In the gospel of st Matthew 7:14, it’s written ’Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which. leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.’ Nothing that’s good comes easy, but through music we can leave our troubles behind, and enter through that gate, and maybe even catch a glimpse of Paradise.
The program contains magnificent music by Buxtehude, Pedersøn, Hammerschmidt and Gibbons, but the main pillars of this ‘musical gate’ consists of three motets by Johann Sebastian Bach.
Tuesday August 20th 20:00 ( billetto.dk or politiken.dk/plus)

Christian IV Vocal Ensemble performs music by some of the greatest Danish composer of the 20th Century: Nørgård, Holmgreen, Nørholm and Ruders. They belong to a generation of composers who have already achieved acclaim, and all have their own place in music history.
These modern sounds are contrasted with music by the french composer Guillame Dufay (1397-1474). By musicologists he is regarded as the father of renaissance polyphonic music. It’s a fascinating thought, that more than 500 years between these composers. Even though they are in opposite ends of music history, the musical expression is in some ways similar.
