●★ Arcangello Corelli : Concerto Grosso in g Op.6 - 8『Christmas』★●                                        Jean Fransois Paillard(Dir.)                                    Jean Paillard Chamber Orch.                                                          ● A.Corelli : Christmas Concerto   Concerto grosso in G minor, Op. 6, No. 8, by Arcangelo Corelli, known commonly as the Christmas Concerto, was commissioned by Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni and published posthumously in 1714 as part of his Twelve concerti grossi, Op. 6. The concerto bears the inscription Fatto per la notte di Natale ("Made for the night of Christmas"). It was composed around 1690, since there is a record of Corelli having that year performed a Christmas concerto for the enjoyment of his then-new patron. The concerto is scored for an ensemble consisting of two concertino violins and cello, ripieno strings and continuo. The work is structured as a concerto da chiesa, in this case expanded from a typical four movement structure to six.     ● Movements: ● Vivace, 3/4 – Grave. Arcate, sostenuto e come stà, 4/2 ● Allegro, common time ● Adagio – Allegro – Adagio, common time, E-flat major ● Vivace, 3/4 ● Allegro, cut time ● Largo. Pastorale ad libitum, 12/8, G major Each relatively short movement provides multiple tempi and a range of major and minor suspensions. The concerto is generally no longer than fifteen minutes, ending with Corelli's famous Pastorale ad libitum, a peaceful 12/8 finale in the pastorale form.                                                              ■ Jean-François Paillard(1928~2013)             French Conductor   ● Jean-François Paillard (12 April 1928 – 15 April 2013) was a French conductor.[1] He was born in Vitry-le-François and received his musical training at the Conservatoire de Paris, where he won first prize in music history, and the Salzburg Mozarteum.
