$In Stile Moderno in Cambridge: Enfin la beaut\u00e9$

Enfin la Beauté: Delights of the French Baroque
In Stile Moderno: Agnes Coakley Cox, soprano; Corey Shotwell, tenor; Nathaniel Cox, lute and theorbo
At the courts of Louis XIII and Louis XIV in 17th-century France, enjoying airs de cour, or courtly airs, was a favorite pastime. These secular pieces for voice and lute or theorbo, often on pastoral themes, are characterized by their charm and simplicity of expression. Tenor Corey Shotwell joins In Stile Moderno to explore the delights of this repertoire in a new program, featuring songs by Étienne Moulinié, Sébastien le Camus, Joseph Chabanceau de La Barre, and others.
