Handel / Traditional: Concerto grosso op. 6, no. 6, HWV 324: III. Musette / Darij Bayat | Tafelmusik

In this video, enjoy Handel’s Concerto grosso G Minor, op. 6, no. 6, HWV 324: III. Musette and Darij Bayat, a traditional Arabic song, as performed by Tafelmusik and Trio Arabica. Inspired by the opulent world of 18th-century Saxon and Syrian coffee houses, this performance was originally recorded as part of Tales of Two Cities: The Leipzig-Damascus Coffee House. This filmed program explores the relationships between 18th-century Leipzig and Damascus, and features baroque music by Bach, Telemann, and Handel, as well as treasures of classical Arabic music. It’s 1740, and coffee houses are the places to listen to music and share stories, in both the famous trading centre of Leipzig and one of the oldest cities in the world, Damascus. Experience the visual splendour, music, and contemporary tales of these historic locations, with music by J.S. Bach, Handel, and Telemann. Performed entirely from memory by Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, and featuring ensemble Trio Arabica—Maryem Tollar, voice and qanun; Demetr
