 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.
