In ancient sick room of Charity Hospital, surrounded by nativity scenes seventeenth and eighteenth, our senses will be awakened to the rhythm of baroque melodies, parts salvaged from the church archives, to feel Christmas with 5 senses.

Cultural Gears, The Hospital of Charity and the musical quartet Dolce Rima designed a unique experience. Not just a concert, four musicians and a narrator will crumbling relationship between music and art, Neapolitan nativity scenes discovering the seventeenth and eighteenth century and the tracks that accompany, the room will become a unique experience for spiritual senses.

The musical program is almost entirely unpublished, dedicated to the Spanish Baroque religious music for liturgical seasons, in this case, Christmas. It is narrated concert to publicize this legacy, that has remained hidden for so long. A legacy, some scores that have slept in the archives of the same churches and cathedrals which were composed by teachers Chapel and performed by musicians from the same.

The program is structured around the Singing Hispanic, inluímos works by some of the most important composers of this period.

José Torres (1670- 1738) was one of the most brilliant musicians, most famous and most performed in the first decades of the eighteenth century. He became master of the Capilla del Rey 1718 -after the exile of Sebastián Durón to France- and held this position until his death in 1738. Included in the program part Flavescite Serenate, which is subtitled for the same Torres as the Blessed Sung, Italian style. It is a key sung only in Latin, but with a completely Italianate structure based on the succession of recitatives and da capo arias. However, devotion to the Blessed reveals the clear Spanish root for in the seventeenth century, many tunes and carols to the divine dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament.. Under the patronage of Our Lady we include the Singing Ay, what favor combining the da capo arias with songs typical Spanish tradition, Sweet duo Pajarillos, Original tiple, since tiple II was added by Master Simon Castellanos and Salve Our Lady with Latin text.

José Torres predecessor in office of Kapellmeister at the court was Sebastián Durón (1660 – 1716). After an impeccable career as composer and organist -ostentó the post of organist at Sevilla, El Burgo de Osma and the Royal Chapel of Charles II and director of the Royal College of Children Cantorcicos- was exiled to France 1706 since Durón had supported the supporters of Archduke of Austria. The piece is interpreted,

Heir to the Hispanic tradition of Durón is our last composer program, José Spanish (ca.169-1758), organist and choirmaster at the church of Santo Tomás de Haro. It can be seen in the duet my Christ, Who saw you, a structure that was being typical of Spanish music from the late seventeenth: Chorus, just couplets and response songs.
