Antonio Florio’s deep understanding of the Baroque musical terrain of Naples now takes him to the dawn of the 18th century when the fervour and visceral excitement held by Neapolitans for their chief patron saint San Gennaro was at its height, in an era when the city had been ravaged by plague and was living in constant fear of eruptions from nearby Mount Vesuvius. Great devotion was directed at San Gennaro, in the belief that he would ward off further evils: a richly-adorned chapel in Naples’s cathedral was dedicated to him and provided with its own musical ensemble, and a stream of composers (often pupils of the great Francesco Provenzale) such as Cristofaro Caresana, Nicola Fago and Gaetano Veneziano worked there. Central to the programme of I Turchini, prepared by Florio and Dinko Fabris, are performances of Fago’s four-part Stabat Mater and Caresana’s canzona Sirene festose. There is a rare outing also for a motet, Antra valles Divo plaudant, written by the young Domenico Scarlatti – three of whose string sinfonias are also included here – when he was one of the organists in the Real Cappella; musicians in Naples regularly moved in and out of different ensembles, then as now. A booklet essay by Fabris himself splendidly underpins the popular traditions and musical and religious colour surrounding San Gennaro in a Naples still alive today; moreover, an evocation brought to potent life by the performances of Florio, with his singers and instrumentalists of I Turchini.
Composer: Domenico Scarlatti, Cristofaro Caresana, Francesco Nicola Fago, Gaetano Veneziano
Conductor: Antonio Florio
Reviews: The subtitle, “Sacred Music in Early 18th-Century Naples,” reminds us that San Gennaro (Januarius) is the patron saint of that city, or rather one of scores of patron saints whose intercession in calamity the citizens begged. The two largest works on this program are an impressive Stabat Mater by Nicola Fago (1677-1745), set exceptionally for four voices (not, for Naples, the usual two), and a motet Antra valles Divo plaudant in honor of St. John the Baptist by Domenico Scarlatti. The former, a contemporary of Scarlatti and several of the greatest composers of the late Baroque, is a new name in my collection. Fago succeeded Cristofaro Caresana (1640-1709) as maestro di cappella of the chapel connected with the cathedral and known as the Treasury of San Gennaro, where the relic of the martyr’s blood is venerated. Fago was a pupil of Caresana’s predecessor, Francesco Provenzale. The other two composers heard here, Domenico Scarlatti and Gaetano Veneziano (1665-1716), were members of the Real (royal) Cappella, the viceroy’s chapel, where Alessandro Scarlatti had been director and Provenzale and Caresana had also been members. Scarlatti is also noted here for three sinfonie, drawn from the 17 sinfonie uniquely preserved in Paris, the only secular pieces on the disc.
Hence this program is a cross-section of Neapolitan sacred music around the beginning of the 18th century. Caresana is represented by a canzona in honor of San Gennaro to be sung on one of his feast days (there were three). A second work by Fago is the Vespers psalm Confitebor tibi , one of five that he wrote. Veneziano is represented by three Office hymns for one or two voices with instruments. This continues a series of Neapolitan programs that this ensemble has given us. The six mixed voices and eight players toss off the rapid figures with an appreciation of the style that prevailed at the time. Devotees of this period will appreciate this disc.
