    About
    Marin Marais (1656 - 1726) was a French composer and master of the basse de viol, a large bowed string instrument with frets, and is an early leading composer for the instrument. He studied with Jean-Baptiste Lully, and with a renowned bass viol pedagogue Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe. He was hired as a musician in 1676 to the royal court of Versailles, and was appointed "ordinaire de la chambre du roy pour la viole" between 1679 and 1725.

the marais project
Founded by Director Jennifer Eriksson, the purpose of The Marais Project is to perform works of Marin Marais and his contemporaries in a modern-day Australian context. To date, concerts have included unique and exciting collaborations with other artists and art forms, including French poetry, baroque dance and contemporary ceramics. One of the highlights of the series has been the commissioning of several new works by Australian composers; Stephen Yates, Matthew Perry and Kevin Hunt. The Marais Project is regularly joined by a range of wonderful guest artists. See our biographies page. In 2008 this tradition continues. Along with our existing artists Tommie Andersson, Belinda Montgomery and Cathy Tabrett, we will be joined by World Music greats, Mara!, jazz pianist and composer, Kevin Hunt, violinist Fiona Ziegler, and talented young keyboardist, Chris Berensen.
2008 concert series
2008 sees The Marais Project continuing to grow and develop with the addition of a third concert to our Recital Series.
Concert 1 will take place during Easter week and feature François Couperin’s settings of ancient Easter texts for one and two sopranos and viola da gamba.

Maddonni, Antonino

Antonino Maddonni wrote about his composition in an e-mail: I have chosen 'madness theme' because it is a stimulating and fine piece of music and it's very suitable for variations and recreation. In different periods lots of great composers have used the Folia-theme but my variations are not like the ordinary ones. They are as 'sonorous panels' as water-colours with the starting point the theme and becoming each of the variations a new composition, calling to mind the idiom of Jazz, South American rhythms and classical lyricism....

    But it's ok, he doesn't have to pay me back.

    Marin Marais. Never heard of him til yesterday.
    I am happy to have one thing that I am better at, and know more about, than my brother, who is seven years older than me. He is, by all accounts, much smarter, cooler, and hipper than I in most ways, but the one thing I know more about than he does however, is "classical" music, and that thrills me.
    He skooled me the other day though, and I am ashamed about it.
    Daniel called me on my cell, and I expected it to be the usual phone call: "Have you spoken to mum this week?" or "Hey, have you got a frozen pizza?" (common, actually.) But no, it was neither. He called me up and asked, "You know that piece, St. Genevieve, right? By Marais? Right?" To which I responded, "Who Nope. Never heard of it." I thought perhaps he was terribly misinformedin fact, I HOPED he was, and I was praying that Marais was some imaginary dude, or some current composer that no one has ever heard of. My brother seemed rather disappointed that I had no idea as to who this dude was.
    Yesterday when I went to visit my brother, he busts out with "Marais was a French baroque composer-how come you don't know about him?"

    During the period when the French viol school led all of Europe in viol virtuosi (1675-1770), Marin Marais was the premier French composer and bass viola da gamba player
    Marais spent all his life in Paris and the majority of it in musical service to King Louis XIV. As a boy, he sang in the choir at St. Germaine-l'Auxerrois. Sometime after his voice broke, he studied viol with Monsieur Sainte Columbe. M. Sainte Columbe is a mysterious figure. In life, he was a recluse and so little is known of him today that the only first name he is known by is "Monsieur." Sainte Columbe was a much sought after gambist and wrote some of the best and most challenging viol compositions to date. It was he who added the seventh string to the bass viol. Marais studied with the Master for only six months. In that short time, it is rumored, that Marais had surpassed Sainte Columbe.
    Marais returned to Versailles to play for the King in 1676. Within three years he was appointed Ordinaire de la chambre du Roi pour la viole. Roughly translated, this means "Regular violist of the King's house." He studied composition with Lully and wrote four operas during this period. Marais remained at Versailles until his retirement in 1725. His position was beqeathed his son Vincent. Marais had 19 children.Many were well known musicians.
    Born in Paris in 1656. Marin Marais studied music from a young age and early on became one of the greatest viol-players of his area. Some reports from his time claim that in the space of only six months he surpassed the talents of his master Sainte Colombe.
