A MUSICAL SHIP OF FOOLS
Music and Dance of the Renaissance
This program was created in 1999 on the occasion of the
500th anniversary celebrations
of the "Battle of Dornach." The fundamental idea was that of a
"music of the enemies" of 1499. Emperor Maximilian I (the
"loser"), on the one side, Basel and the Swiss Confederation,
on the other. Through the combination of works by Maximilian's
"court composers" (Heinrich Isaak and his successor Ludwig
Senfl, born 1486 in Basel), Italian music of the first half of the 16th
century, contemporary dances, and texts from Sebastian Brant's Ship of
Fools (Basel, 1494) a lively representation of this time emerges.
