Golden Melodies
Golden Melodies explores the rich world of Renaissance and early Baroque variation art through music by Dowland, Sweelinck, Gombert, Van Eyck and others. Ensemble Odyssee traces the journey of beloved melodies as they are transformed from simple songs into virtuosic instrumental works.
At the heart of the programme lies the art of diminution: the embellishment and reinvention of existing melodies into ever more expressive forms. Combining intimacy, virtuosity and improvisatory flair, Golden Melodies reveals how familiar tunes travelled across seventeenth-century Europe, continually reshaped by performers and composers while retaining their timeless appeal.
