This could be very cool either for classical & world-music programs. It's a collection of music written (mainly) in Latin America during the Baroque period. Much of the music combines European style with native tones, rhythms & feel. All the tracks are quite short.
Ensemble Caprise, based in Montreal, specializes in Baroque music. Directed by flutist Matthias Maute, the group includes voices, period brass and strings, guitar, harpsichord and organ.
My Picks: 1, 2, 4, 5, 12, 18, 20, 22 for World Music
6, 7, 13-15, 21 for Classical
No FCC issues.
Anonymous instrumentals, from the Flores de Música Collection, 1706-1709
1 * “Chacona” Spanish folk dance. Slow then fast. Wood flute has South Am feel. (2:39)
3 “Differenzias Sobre La Gayta” Slow trumpet call; strings strike up lively dance. (4:17)
5 * “Xácara” Spanish guitar to start, then strings play quick counterpoint. (2:03)
7 * “Pasacalles De 2o Tono” A chamber piece on strings. Starts slow, speeds up. (2:29)
17 “Temblante Estilo Italiano” Sounds like a violin exercise. (3:06)
