Giovanni Legrenzi (1626–1690) today does not enjoy the fame he deserves, but he must have been esteemed in his lifetime considering he left his Bergamasque hometown of Clusone and – despite a somewhat tortuous path – managed to culminate his career as capellmeister of the ducal Basilica of St Mark in Venice. His music was influential not only on his documented pupils (Antonio Lotti, Antonino Biffi, Giovanni Varischino and likely Tomaso Albinoni) but also on later, great composers such as Handel and J.S. Bach. Legrenzi’s music, in turn, was influenced by that of Monteverdi, although it does not appear he was a direct pupil of the Cremonese master.
His Balletti e Correnti for 5 instruments with basso continuo for the cembal comprise nine Balletto–Corrente pairs of dance movements. Those names – ‘corrente’ in particular – do not, however, indicate characteristics usually associated with dance movements so named in a typical keyboard suite, for example.
In this collection, the balletti and correnti alternate in binary and ternary time, respectively. The only one resembling a Frenchstyle ‘courante’ may be the Seventh (perhaps also the Fifth), with the First and Fourth more like a jig in character. The Eighth Corrente is peculiar in that it clearly evokes a sarabande: the main accent systematically placed on the second beat of the bar.
