| Boston’s spring musical season traditionally pivots around Lent. Passiontide is a season heralding rebirth, liturgically as well as meteorologically speaking. Choral groups across North America, longing for respite from winter gloom, shook off a year’s dust from their scores of Passions, tenebrae services and various Holy Week settings. |

From the Middle Ages until today, there have been many women who have composed music despite, at times, having to overcome many difficulties. But there are few who had such exceptional talent like Hildegard Von Bingen or Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre.
The Goldberg Magazine wants to pay tribute to these women who were involved in Early Music and so we have chosen these two great composers, whose works and talent still surprise and fascinate their contemporaries.
So we have put together Hildegard Von Bingen and Elisabeth Jacquet to make a pack of 2 magazines that explore the history of these two extraordinary women, who despite the difficulties of their time, were able to contribute so much to music. |

| Jean Ferry Rebel, a student of Lully, was steeped in the world of opera from the time of his youth, and enjoyed a magnificent career as composer to the musique de la Chambre. He was also an extremely talented violinist, and in 1695 was the first composer to write sonatas - influenced by Corelli, whom he admired - for the instrument. |

| For the last nine years the Hungarian Haydn Society has organised a festival based on the music of the great composer. The main headquarters of the Festival are situated at the Esterházy Palace, where Haydn lived while serving Prince Esterházy at the court of Eisenstadt, in what is now Hungarian territory. The palace witnessed the premieres of many of Haydn’s most important works. |

| If there is one neglected work among Mozart’s mature operas, it is La Clemenza di Tito. Its weaknesses have been seen in its long recitatives, which were not composed by Mozart but probably by his pupil Süssmayr, and in its use of a reworked Metastasio libretto, considered out of date at the time of the premiere. |

| Guillaume de Machaut (ca. 1300-1377) has always fascinated musicologists specialising in the medieval period, both for the unique nature of his output and his double artistic facet as a poet and composer caught between the sacred and secular universes. |
