////Louis XIV Louis XIV's musicians //~ Louis XIV and his musicians visit Tacoma on Monday ~//// //                  Louis XIV joins us on Monday at 7 PM as we journey to 1713 for an intimate chamber music experience in our quest to revisit the innumerable pleasant reminiscences of our favorite ballets, operas and chamber music from the previous half century, all prepared for a smaller ensemble of favored musicians for this purpose.                  A remarkable and almost completely unknown manuscript of 770 pages, discovered in Paris by Jeffrey Cohan several decades ago, was prepared for these "little evening concerts" for the aging Louis XIV by his long-time music librarian André Danican Philidor l'ainé, who organized and transcribed some of Louis' favorite music from at least the previous 54 years, for performance by the king's favorite instrumentalists. Two years before his death in 1715, Louis XIV was anxious to revisit the music of his youth in an intimate setting as was his preference in those days, quite in contrast with the grand original productions. Philidor dates some of these selections as far back as 1659, when Louis XIV was 21 and had danced for eight years already in ballet performances at court, most famously as the sun god Apollo. This year we'll explore a new selection of 5 more of the 67 suites that Philidor assembled therein. — *LITTLE EVENING CONCERT for LOUIS XIV* — *Monday, January 19 at 7:00 PM*    · Anna Marsh, baroque bassoon    · Y Hsuan (Ethan) Lin, baroque violin    · Vicki Gunn, baroque viola    · Jeffrey Cohan, baroque flute            ✷  ✣  ✷  ✣  ✷  ✣  ✷ *    Mason United Methodist Church */~ all concerts *Mondays at 7:00 PM* ~ /     2710 N.
