The trombone — “large trumpet” in Italian, known in English at the time as the sackbut — had its golden age in the late-16th and 17th centuries. From the reasonable hypothesis that there must have been baroque trombonists who enjoyed playing duets, the question is raised: what music might they have played? It is in that spirit that canticum trombonorum shamelessly borrows intimate vocal repertoire to explore the expressive power of baroque trombones paired with a single voice. In this programme, the ensemble focuses on the richly imaged love poetry of the Song of Songs, presenting the biblical book’s narrative through 17th-century Italian settings of each of its eight chapters.
