Londonderry Air - Irish traditional, XVII century

The program is designed as a musical evening (afternoon) in one English Renaissance palace (maybe it was just house in Hampton, near London, built by Henry VIII, and was used as a royal palace until the early 18th century).
Music in the Renaissance was appearing, passing and changing thanks to traveling musicians (and through the first printed work).
With the new music, the new instruments appeared, eg. teorba or chitarrone is an instrument developed as innovation of bass lute, and it first appears at the end of 16th century in Italy.
(On a trip "traveling players" meet an English nobleman who was returning home from his travels in Italy.
As the story is, they play and sing to him, and he invites them to be the guests of the Palace.
The problem appeared when the guards stopped them  on entering the Palace, because the Nobleman in his luggage had an unusual, elongated, wooden case that resembled the secret weapon.
At the request of the guards the lute player  opens the wooden case and at the surprise of all, takes the "secret weapon" and starts playing on it.
The mystery is solved - this is a new musical instrument, Teorba.)
Our traveling musicians have the opportunity to  entertain  the king, queen, nobles, diplomats, wealthy merchants and other guests. And for the occasion they prepared  a variety of music program modeled on the popular "MASKS".
(Mask or masquerade is a music - stage performance with the vocal and instrumental parts, dance, rich decoration, costumes and effective scene, whose content is often mythical, allegorical or satirical as a forerunner of theater and opera. There is a track record that Marry The Bachelor was performed within the program at the wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Crown Prince Palatinate, 15 February 1613th and also that the Hampton Court Masque was performed in the festivities for the feast of Twelfth Night.)
A typical music style was formed on the English island at that time under the influence of, primarily Italian and French music. Traveling musicians performed several songs from Orchésographie, as well as a Paris chanson "Sweet memory" (very popular in the Renaissance, and appears in its numerous editions during the 16th century, famous throughout the world. Thoinot Arbeau, in 1589 in France published the work Orchésographie - A collection of dances and songs with notation and detailed instructions for Renaissance dance). And some, obviously stray musician, taught them the wonderful variations of Diego Ortiz's from Naples.
And the end, traveling musicians performed, some other topics from the mask or masquerade like "old takts." "The old takts" (or just "takts" – as they were known at the time) indicated a group of dances that were performed for ceremonial or festive occasions in the sixteenth and early seventeenth century. Dances  involved Pavano, Galliard and Alemande and they appear in Shakespeare's plays: "As you please," "Richard II" and "Richard III". Full descriptions of the dances, the names and sequence were then stored in the "law pub and clubs - Inns of Court - while the dance music notation can be found in several versions and arrangements in the manuscripts and collections (Francis Willoughby's Lute Book c. 1585, The Fitzwilliam Virginal Book (c. 1609-1619), Pierre Phalese - Hortulus Citharae, Antwerp, 1570; Bernard Schmid, Einer neuen kunstlichen Tabulature auff Orgel und Instrument, Strassburgh, 1577; Anthony Holborn, The Cittharn Schoole, London, 1597th, etc.).
Program endS with a joke song using a text from a theater play that they heard somewhere, in an inn or in a square...

Djordje Petrovic was born in Srpske Moravice (Gorski Kotar), 08.05 1933. He has lived in Karlovac since 1935.He graduated from Visual arts academy in 1959 in Zagreb, in the class of Professor Jerrolim Misa. He practiced the pedagogic work from 1960-2000. He had over 40 one-man exhibitions and more than 200 group exhibitions. He has been awarded many times.

From 1960-1082 he mainly did the landscapes surrounding Karlovci, still life, followed by the cycles: old watch, impressions from Spain, harlequins, interiors and crayon drawings. He was working in oil, watercolor, pastel and crayon at the time.
Since 1982, watercolor has become the main technique for him, both in expressing himself and in his creative research. His motives were the landscapes surrounding Karlovac, rivers of Karlovac, sea landscapes, fish farms of Draganic, still life and one separate cycle of watercolors- “Heritage for the future”, dedicated to ecology.
Since 1990, due to new circumstances in the country, he shuts himself behind the door of his studio, and painting becomes his soul-therapy.Some new cycles, showing the atmosphere around him and the change in his work, came at the time.

Since 1992-2000, the following cycles came up: ”The market time”( watercolor and oil), “Mask-ball”, “Rain”, “People and umbrellas”( watercolor and oil), a cycle of drawings “Gomirje monastery” (crayon), “Water horizontals” ( watercolor), a cycle “Olives” (pastel)…
