As the year tilts toward longer evenings, music and musical gatherings provide a beacon of light, warmth and renewal. On Sunday December 14, come and enjoy a program of ‘evergreens’ from the English and German Renaissance, including virtuosic settings of sixteenth century hits The Leaves be green and Tandernaken and other deftly woven fantasias, dance music, and carols in praise of the rose, which was once imagined to bloom even in midwinter.The rich and sonorous colours of Renaissance recorders - light years away from your grade school memories - will surprise and delight you. Soprano, alto, tenors, bass and great bass recorders, all expertly crafted and created expressly to be played together, are the conduit for this music as it speaks across the centuries; and the pleasure taken in playing together is easily shared between players and listeners in the Heliconian Hall’s intimate, resonant setting.
The composers:
BYRD, SENFL, HOLBORNE, TYE, FINCK, HENRY VIII, BEVIN and others;
The performers:
ROMINA ABADI, AVERY MACLEAN, ALISON MELVILLE,
COLIN SAVAGE and TATSUKI SHIMODA.
