Medieval children ringing round the roses of the Black Plague, Renaissance nobility processing to the stately basse danse, city folk courting to the steps of the pavane, and the already pregnant bride in Brueghel's painting The Peasant Wedding, all danced their way through the rituals of life; courtship, marriage, political intrigue, harvest, and the final Dance of Death which we must all join regardless of social status, wealth or position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title \"Ciaramella: dances on Movable Ground\" plays on the fact that they live in Southern California, where the ground might roll or shake below their feet at any time. But dancing on shifting grounds is also a musical concept that serves as a unifying element in this recording. Grounds are the repeated chord progressions and melodies that lie at the heart of Renaissance and Baroque dance. these grounds form the basis of almost all dances of the early modern era. Players would improvise melodies and variations, beginning first with simple melodies, and gradually adding increasingly florid and virtuosic variations to show off their skill and invention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCiaramella are a six-member ensemble bringing to life Medieval and early Renaissance music from historical events and manuscripts. Praised for performing intricate 15th c. counterpoint \"with the ease of jazz musicians improvising on a theme,\" its members are united by the conviction that every composition conceals a rich story waiting to be unlocked through historical research and a speculative performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded on a core of winds: shawm, sackbut, recorder, bagpipe, and voice, Ciaramella takes its name from the Italian shawm (a centuries old woodwind family instrument) and from a 15th c. song about a beautiful girl whose clothes are full of holes. When she opens her mouth, she knocks men flat. Ciaramella's members met as graduate students at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. They first performed together on Christmas Day 2003 in Spoleto, Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis release is the first ever 45rpm Vinyl LP available from Yarlung Records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e180g Vinyl\u003cbr\u003e45rpm\u003cbr\u003eMade in Germany\u003cbr\u003eMastering Engineers: Steve Hoffman \u0026amp; Bob Attiyeh\u003cbr\u003eVinyl Mastering: Bernie Grundman\u003cbr\u003eRecorded in Alfred Newman Hall, USC, June 27-30, 2011\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusicians\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003eCiaramella Ensemble\u003cbr\u003eAdam Knight Gilbert, recorder, percussion\u003cbr\u003eRotem Gilbert, recorder, percussion\u003cbr\u003eDoug Miliken, dulcian\u003cbr\u003eMalachai Komanoff Bandy, viola da gamba\u003cbr\u003eJason Yoshida, guitar, theorbo\u003cbr\u003eArthur Omura, harpsichord\u003cbr\u003eJose Gurria-Cardenas, percussion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGaspar Sanz (1640-1710)\u003cbr\u003e1.
