Orí Harmelin: theorbo Giovanna Baviera: viola da gamba Performed in Kloster Dornach on 25.08.2020. Filmed by Simon MacHale. For more information and booking contact us at [email protected] A note from the performers: the Mantovana melody is a song from the 16th century by Giuseppino dal Biado, also known as "Fuggi Fuggi Fuggi da questo cielo" . As parallels have been drawn, we want to make it very clear that we disassociate this melody from the Israeli national anthem, especially in view of the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people. We refuse to even unwittingly contribute to any ethnonationalist project and the violence it engenders.
