Come, now a Roundel and a Fairy Song
Songs and dances evoke the colourful spirit of the Elizabethan and Jacobean court and playhouse
in this Shakespeare-themed programme. K’antu combines colourful and energetic elements of folk and world music with historically-informed techniques. The group has performed at festivals around the UK and tours Hungary and Romania this year.
The magnicent church of St James is the nave of a Benedictine priory, founded in 1139, with a tower and spire added in the early 18th century. Large Decorated windows light the nave, described by Pevsner as ‘astonishing’. Relics from the original foundation include a large font, graceful arcading and
two round-headed windows in the chancel.
MUSIC IN QUIET PLACES IS SPONSORED BY CHATTERTONS
Our concerts this year have a distinctive English flavour, as befits the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare.
K’antu takes us to the court with a selection of songs and dances, the Ebor Singers turn to the sacred music of the period and the Melrose Quartet takes a broader look at what makes English music so distinctive. We open with the violin duo Retorica and also in more classical mode, harp and fl ute duo Aquilae presents an attractive mixed programme of favourites.
