The Divertissement Connection

A collage of the many meanings of "divertissement"

 

It’s music intended for the theater or ballet—although sometimes it’s not.

It’s usually scored for full orchestra—but not always.

It’s lighthearted and up-tempo — except when it isn’t.

In this hour, the quirky world of the divertissement—and its cousin, the divertimento—from Baroque to Modern.
