[cid:image004.jpg at 01D20DBD.350D4D90] Vi ønsker velkommen til syvende utgave av Bergen Middelaldermusikkdager! I år er programmet del av en ambisiøs internasjonal markering av at det er 600 år siden en av senmiddelalderens største komponister døde, Antonio di Berardo da Teramo, kalt "Zacara" (c1360-1416). Markeringen har fått navnet "Zacara Triduum", og består av tre konserter i Teramo (Italia), Bergen og i Worms (Tyskland). I Bergen blir de tre konsertene framført i våre vakreste middelalderbygg: Rosenkrantztårnet, Håkonshallen og Mariakirken.
Fredag 16.09, 19:00, Rosenkrantztårnet Konsert 1: "Dime, Fortuna" Selvbiografiske verk av Antonio Zacara da Teramo Det meget anerkjente og prisvinnende italienske ensemblet Micrologus spiller musikk av senmiddelalderens største tonekunstner. Zacara var musiker ved flere pavers hoff. Musikken i kveldens program skiller seg ut fordi den er selvbiografisk. Komponisten fortalte i flere sanger om hendelser i sitt liv, som gjør det mulig å rekonstruere mye av det han opplevde. Hans liv var preget av de store religiøse konfliktene i samtiden. (Det var blant annet tre paver, samtidig!) Zacara opplevde en særs vellykket karriere, men også tunge personlige tragedier. Programmet introduseres 20 minutter før konsertstart av Dr. Francesco Zimei
Lørdag 17.09, 19:00, Håkonshallen Konsert 2: "Den tredje Pave". Musikk av komponister ved hoffet til anti-pave Johannes XXIII Det tyske ensemblet Leones (vinner av International Classical Music Awards 2016) framfører programmet «Den tredje paven», dedikert til musikk av komponister ved hoffet til anti-pave Johannes XXIII. Det var på denne tiden tre paver samtidig! Johannes XXIII var en kunstmesen, og holdt tidens største komponister ved sitt hoff. En av dem var Antonio Zacara da Teramo, som døde i 1416. Han jobbet først hos pave Gregor XI men skiftet siden loyalitet og gikk til anti-pave Alexander V sitt hoff, etterfulgt av Johannes XXIII. Ved siden av sanger av Zacara, hører vi i dette programmet musikk av Johannes Ciconia og Matteo da Perugia. Vi hører også den rytmisk mest komplekse komposisjonen i en radius av flere hundre år, Zacaras berømte «Sumite, karissimi». Programmet introduseres 20 minutter før konsertstart av ensembleleder Marc Lewon
[cid:image006.jpg at 01D20DBD.350D4D90]Søndag 18.09, 20:00, Mariakirken Konsert 3: "En messe for Zacara" Det bergensbaserte ensemblet Currentes framfører musikk til en middelaldermesse for den 15. søndag etter pinse.

Welcome to the seventh edition of Bergen Medieval Music Days! This year´s programme is part of an ambitious international commemoration of the 600th anniversary of the death of Antonio di Berardo di Andrea da Teramo, also known as "Zacara" (ca1360-1416). Zacara was the leading composer of the Italian Trecento. Together with Zacara-expert Dr. Francesco Zimei, and the renowned ensembles Micrologus end Leones, we have developed a "Zacara Triduum", consisting of three concerts, introductions and lectures around the life and works of Zacara. "Zacara Triduum" will take place in Teramo, Bergen and in Germany. The concerts in Bergen will take place in our most beautiful buildings in Bergen: Rosenkrantz Tower, Håkon´s Hall and St. Mary´s Church.
Friday 16.09, 19:00, Rosenkrantz Tower Concert programme 1: "Dime, Fortuna" Autobiographical works by Antonio Zacara da Teramo The prize-winning Italian ensemble Micrologus performs works that relate events in Zacara´s life. His songs narrate his brushes with Fortuna, and tell of a successful carrer, but also of deep personal tragedies. The songs show that he was right in the middle of the great schism of the Roman Catholic Church, which culminated with the election of a second anti-pope (so that there were three simultaneous popes) at the end of Zacara´s life. The schism was resolved only the year after Zacara´s death at the council of Constance.
Saturday 17.09, 19:00, Håkon´s Hall Concert programme 2: "The Third Pope" Music by composers at the court of anti-pope John XXIII The German ensemble Leones (winner of the 2016 International Classical Music Award) performs a programme dedicated to music composed by Zacara and his collegaues at the court of anti-pope John XXIII. Zacara initially worked at the ourt of pope Gregor, but changed loyalty and moved to the court of anti-pope Alexander V, and that of his successor John XXIII. Next to songs by Zacara, the programme includes music by Johannes Ciconia, Matteo da Perugia, and also the rhythmically most complex composition in a radius of several hundred years: Zacara´s famous "Sumite, karissimi".
Sunday 18.09, 20:00, St. Mary´s Church Concert programme 3: "A mass for Zacara" The Bergen based ensemble Currentes performs music for the mass for the XVth Sunday after Pentecost. The music for the ordinary (Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Agnus Dei) is taken from an Italian manuscript and consists of works by Zacara and the much younger Guillaume Dufay (1397-1474). The music for the proper is based on the ancient plainchant repertory, elaborated in polyphonic settings by the members of Currentes.
We also invite all interested to a lecture on the life and works of Zacara: Friday 16.09, 13:00-14:00, University of Bergen, HF-building, seminar room 400 "Zacara in context". Lecture on the life and works of Antonio di Berardo da Teramo, called "Zacara". Dr. Francesco Zimei, Istituto Abruzzese di Storia Musicale

Introduction to "Zacara Triduum" A European journey to Celebrate a Protagonist of Late Mediaeval European Music in the Sixth-hundredth Anniversary of his Death
At the end of the summer of 1416, news spread of the death of one of the leading figures in European music during the Great Schism: Antonio di Berardo di Andrea da Teramo, known as Zacara, who had returned to his homeland in his final years, probably to direct the cappella of the local cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta e San Berardo. A papal singer from the time of Boniface IX, Zacara arrived in Rome at a very young age together with a family of illuminators, most probably with many other such artisans, to assist in the restoration of the Holy See's library after the return of the Papal Curia from Avignon. Such a professional start is rather surprising, considering that Zacara was born with serious handicaps, lacking several fingers and with one arm wholly paralysed. He was clearly an artist of great versatility, reaching levels of excellence both in music and poetry, as shown by the extremely enigmatic nature of his secular compositions, which were still being played in the second half of the 15th century.
A significant example of this is provided by his copious production of ballatas on the theme of Fortune, his imaginary confidant during his years of professional exile, in the years after he quit the service of Gregory XII and prior to taking up the post of maestro di cappella for the antipope John XXIII, against the backdrop of the Councils of Pisa and Constance, whence Zacara's art spread throughout the continent as an absolute model of liturgical music.
This composer's international dimension was only discovered by musicologists a few decades ago and he is now acknowledged as one of the greatest of his time, thanks also to an important meeting at Teramo organised by the Istituto Abruzzese di Storia Musicale 2002, and to the volume «Antonio Zacara da Teramo» e il suo tempo, edited by Francesco Zimei, published two years later by Libreria Musicale Italiana. These circumstances have led three renowned groups of mediaeval music - Currentes (Norway), Leones (Germany) and Micrologus (Italy) - to share their experience in celebrating the sixth-hundredth anniversary of Zacara's death with the highly ambitious project of dedicating to him three special programmes contextualising his work both historically and stylistically. The project will be launched in the composer's native town of Teramo and will continue in September in Bergen and in 2017 in Germany.
