Ensemble rediscovers forgotten masterpieces

Chamber music ensemble Hausmusik NZ will present Lost & Found – Rediscovered Baroque Masterworks at a concert at Warkworth Masonic Hall, 3 Baxter Street, on Sunday, November 4.

The concert will feature music by baroque composers whose works were popular in their lifetimes but have since been overlooked.

In addition, there will be lesser known works by more familiar composers.

The concert includes: Platti’s Triosonata in G Major for oboe, cello & continuo; Lanzetti’s Sonata in G Major for cello and continuo; Hasse’s Sonata in F major for oboe and continuo; selections from Bernier’s Coffee Cantata; Zipoli’s Elevatione for oboe, cello & harpsichord; a Telemann Fantasia for viola da gamba; and Steffani’s love cantata, Hai Finito di Lusingarmi.

Hausmusik NZ rediscovered the works following  “excavations” of European music libraries and obscure publisher’s listings.

The concert starts at 3pm. Tickets are $20 at the door or email hausmusiknz@worldnet.co.nz
