Alongside the popular Hangadó lectures, Árpád Tóth, the music and singing teacher known for his accessible talks, is launching a new series.
The series titled Under the Magnifying Glass is aimed at those who like to dig deep into musical works: the usual one-and-a-half-hour interactive lectures dissect a single, lesser-known but magnificent piece from numerous aspects, while the accessible analysis is completed by the contribution of a young, professional vocal ensemble, Capella Columbae.
The first Christmas masterpiece: Heinrich Schütz: Christmas Story
The celebration of Christmas with a large-scale musical work originates from the courts of the German principalities of the Reformation era. As the first great German master of the early Baroque, Heinrich Schütz can be regarded as the starting point of these magnificent works. His Christmas oratorio weaves together passages from the Scriptures about the birth of Jesus, while characterizing the most important figures of the story with vivid musical depictions. Let us examine every important detail of this unique work!
