	Concerto grosso - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The concerto grosso (plural concerti grossi) (Italian for big concert) was a popular form of baroque music using an ensemble and usually having four to six movements in which the musical material is passed between a small group of soloists (the concertino) and full orchestra (the ripieno).
		The form was probably developed around 1680 by Alessandro Stradella, who seems to have written the first music in which a "concertino" and "ripieno" are combined in the characteristic way, though he did not use the term "concerto grosso".
		Corelli's concertino consisted of two violins and a cello, with a string orchestra serving as ripieno, both accompanied by a basso continuo.

	Girolamo Dalla Casa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The sonorous acoustical environment of this basilica was the center of activity of the Venetians.
		Giovanni Gabrieli clearly had Dalla Casa's group in mind for much of his music, and the Dalla Casas are presumed to have played in many the elaborate polychoral compositions of the time.
		Being a smaller group of virtuoso instrumentalists playing in contrast to larger instrumental and vocal forces arrayed around them, and being in the center of a hugely influential stylistic movement, they functioned as an early form of concertino.

	CONCERTO FOR TURNTABLE www.concertoforturntable.com
		In the beginning of the Baroque, as ensemble music was transforming into orchestral music, groups of solo instruments began to separate from the larger group of instruments.
		The word concertino began to surface and was used to designate a small group of instruments.
		Francesco Usper is the first composer documented to separate a smaller group of two violins in concertino in the score of Compositioni armoniche nella quail si contengono motetti, sinfonie, sonate, canzoni caprici (1619).

	The Organ Connection - Development of the Concerto
		This particular volume of music however had little in common with the modern concerto, it did not have a soloist or a solo group of instruments, and in fact the term was used to suggest the use of a large ensemble of instruments.
		The concertino is the solo instrumental group in a concerto grosso.
		The ripieno group was usually composed of a dozen or more players while the concertino is generally only three players, usually two violins and a cello, although occasionally other instruments were used.

	Ripieni
		Concertino = a group of vocal lines, each sung by one person.
		Instead of doubling part or all of the vocal line in a movement, such a ripieno group (if participating in the performance at all) was standing elsewhere, reading from their own set of parts; and such a separate set of parts for ripieno singers exists for fewer than 10% of the extant Bach vocal works.
		If any additional singers beyond the four of the concertino group also learned the parts, they were understudies (substitutes), not expected to sing along in performance as if it were "the more, the merrier", or to make the vocal lines louder against the orchestra (as if such doubling would even accomplish that at all).

	Concert Band celebrates 45 years with fanfare
		San Miguel describes her commission as "a programmatic piece based on the spirit of the four Elements: Air, Earth, Water, and Fire." The four movements are played without pause, which might suggest philosophical links between each of the natural elements, except that the lack of boundaries also leaves too many details trailing.
		This "concertino" group of Sara Gaucher '96, flute; Joseph Davis '96, bassoon; Scott Berkenblit G, trumpet; Alan Pierson '96, celesta; and Childs on piano performed beautifully as a mini-entity.
		The piece might have been more effective for this small group alone; Childs' strength seems to lie in small-ensemble composition, and much of the full-orchestra work got in the way of his characteristically clean lines.

	Bach Choir of Bethlehem
		Among Bach’s influences in instrumental writing were a group of Italian composers who were Bach’s approximate contemporaries (or very near predecessors, separated by very few years), including (most especially) Vivaldi.
		The episodes which fall between statements of the ritornello are performed by the concertino; these passages are more virtuosic, and may sound improvised, even when they are written out.
		The first episode (concertino section) introduces the first new idea: descending, stepwise eighth notes, which might appear to slow down the motion, were it not for the continuous activity of the harpsichord.

	Bach Choir of Bethlehem
		A group of soloists comprise the smaller group, entitled the concertino (meaning little concerto group).
		Some composers, like Archangelo Corelli (1653-1713), always used the same instruments in the concertino (for Corelli, it was always two violins and cello, plus continuo).
		Whereas in the previous movement, we could sometimes not distinguish between the ripieno and the concertino, in the second movement this issue is moot.

	Concertino (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Concertino sets a concertino group consisting of oboe and cor anglais against three ripieno groups.
		The piece is based on three motifs, a cromatic decending motif, a turn motif and an augmented fourth; the three groups interact, passing material around antiphonally and playing contrasting material.
		This conflict is hightened by use of spacial effects (the concertino group at the centre and the two ripieno groups at either side of the stage).

	Bernstein's Studio - Young People's Concerts - What is a Concerto?
		He spent about thirty years of his life as director of music in a girls' school, where he had a fine all-female chorus, and a strange all-female orchestra made up of whatever instruments the girls happened to be able to play.
		See, as time went on, the number of solo players in the concertino group grew smaller and smaller; but therefore their importance as soloists grew larger and larger.
		So now we arrive at a magnificent concerto by Mozart for only two solo instruments, a viola and a violin (as we saw before, no composer seems to be able to do without his solo violin); and, as you'll hear, they really get to show their stuff.

		Perhaps times are changing, because this new Concertino is coming to the UK at an altogether less expensive £599 - not exactly a mainstream price, but certainly more widely accessible than previous offerings.
		The Concertino delivers a beautifully smooth and flat in-room response, albeit with relatively modest sensitivity and limited sub-40Hz bass output.
		In terms of sheer neutrality, the Concertino is probably the best in the test.

		They inserted membranes between the bars and resonators to give the instrument a buzzing sound; these membranes were made of spider cocoons or cigarette papers.
		In the seventeenth century, African instrumentalists took the xylophone with them to Central America where it was modified and became known as the marimba.

		This familiarity with the three instruments no doubt served him well, as in the extensive concertino sections, he fully exploits the various instruments' distinct personalities.
		It is often said that this concerto was intended for Beethoven's young piano student, the Archduke Rudolf, youngest brother of the Austrian emperor.

		This latter set, conceived as a group, was written during a short period, September-October 1739, and was published in London, April 1740.
		The second movement, a masterful, vigorous fugue, employs the solo group (concertino).
		Symphony No. 104 in D, the last of the group, has been variously nicknamed “London” or “Salomon” and was first heard on an all-Haydn program at the King’s Theatre on May 4, 1795 led by the composer.

		Visiting Florence, Venice, and Rome, he met such leading composers as Corelli and the Scarlattis, while familiarizing himself with Italian musical expression, particularly the baroque instrumental form known as "concerto grosso." Essential to this form is the interplay of a small group of solo instrumentalists ("concertino") with a larger group ("ripieno").
		A few years later, Handel settled in London at a time when the English public was strongly attracted to Italian music.
		As with most of the twelve works in this opus, No. 1 features a concertino group of two violins and cello against a larger body of strings and continuo (low strings and harpsichord).

		Instead of a concertino group or a solo instrument contrasting with the full orchestra we find here three equally balanced groups, consisting offish, medium and low voices, which converse with and echo one another and, time and again, blend their voices in unison.
		It may be defined as a variant type of concerto grassy, in which the concertino is not an independent body of constant size set against a main body of sound, likewise of constant size, but rather a body of sound which gradually emerges from the main group.
		Its concertino group consists of a flaring (high trumpet), flute, oboe and violin, the ripieno group being the main body of strings.
