The 2026 Capitol Hill Chamber Music Festival at St. Anne's Episcopal Church on Church Circle in Annapolis is
 entitled "The Quality of Mercy" and celebrates our shared humanity
 through the musical depiction of experiences of conflict resolution
 and compassion.&nbsp; Featuring 17th and 18th-century chamber music
 performed by period instrument specialists from around the country
 and Canada, the festival’s three programs will present Italian music
 from Shakespeare’s time and works from 18th-century France and
 Germany by Marais, Corelli, j.S. Bach, Lully and others.
The festival opens with "These Distracted Times" on Tuesday,
 September 22, 2026 at 7:00 PM with viola da gambist Susie Napper
 from Montreal, harpsichordist Elisabeth Wright from Indiana and
 baroque flutist Jeffrey Cohan. The second program entitled "Chaconne
 pour la Paix" on Sunday, September 27, 2026 at 7:00 PM features
 pardessus de violist Melisande Corriveau from Montreal, viola da
 gambist Susie Napper, harpsichordist Elisabeth Wright and baroque
 flutist Jeffrey Cohan; and finally "The Quality of Mercy" on
 Wednesday, October 7 at 7:00 PM will feature baroque violinist
 Marlisa Woods, renaissance bassoonist Anna Marsh, renaissance

 William Simms.— CHACONNE POUR LA PAIX with&nbsp;Mélisande Corriveau, pardessus de viole, Susie Napper, viola da gamba, Elisabeth Wright, harpsichord and&nbsp;Jeffrey Cohan, baroque flute 

&nbsp; &nbsp; Les Voix humaines, the widely celebrated prize-winning duo of
 viols from Montreal, joins us in a program illuminating the role of
 the chaconne in France as the culminating expression of an opera’s
 content at the court of Louis XIV. In&nbsp; Jean Baptiste Lully’s
 "Phaeton" (1683), warring nations are unified in global harmony. In
 "Persée" (1682) divine intervention brings a celebration of peace
 for the people of Ethiopia. Chaconnes from these operas and Lully's
 "Ballet du Temple de la Paix", in remarkable transcriptions for a
 small ensemble in 1713 by Louis XIV's court librarian Philidor
 l'Ainé, will be presented alongside Couperin's "La Paix de Parnasse"
 and other selections by Marin Marais and Arcangelo Corelli, which
 demonstrate the stylistic chasm between the French and Italian
 styles that was debated so vociferously in France during the early
 years of the 18th century.The rarely heard pardessus de viole is the highest-pitched
 member of the viol family of stringed instruments, corresponding to
 the violin but played on the lap and fretted like a guitar, as is
 the more familiar bass viol or viola da gamba.

 William Simms.— THE QUALITY OF MERCY&nbsp;with Marlisa del Cid Woods, baroque violin, Anna Marsh, dulcian/renaissance bassoon, William Simms, baroque guitar and theorbo, and Jeffrey Cohan, renaissance flute&nbsp; &nbsp;Shakespeare remarked that "The quality of mercy is not strain’d,
 it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven" in "The Merchant of
 Venice", first performed in 1605. The Italian chamber music from
 this time to be included in this program for bassoon, transverse
 flute, violin and guitar was imbued with humanism's late 16th and
 early 17th century perspective that brought human emotion and
 individualism ever more poignantly into public consciousness in all
 the arts. Music embraced greater chromaticism and emotional
 palpability, leading to the unfolding of what we think of today as
 baroque style. Stunning and relatively unknown musical selections by
 Cima, Buonamente, Merula, Frescobaldi and others are to be performed
 on very rarely heard instruments.
