A lovely intimate program of classical repertoire as well as favorites from the great American SongBook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Program notes:<\/strong>
In this eclectic program we begin with the connection of 17th<\/sup> century France and England through elegant love songs from the court. Though the lute was the traditional courtly instrument in the late 16th<\/sup> and early 17th<\/sup> centuries the guitar alternated between splendor and neglect eventually establishing dominance by the middle of the 17th<\/sup> century as the accompanying instrument of choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We open with Sing Aloud Harmonious Spheres<\/em>, found in a recently discovered collection of songs from mid 17th<\/sup> c. at the Bodelian Library, Broxbourne England. Our program includes a few songs with no known composer. The text source is also vague but a delight to sing and invites music into our ears. Historians often assume this indicates an uncredited female composer or an etude piece which became popular as in the very popular Romanza<\/em>, for guitar and bass, a bit later in the program. Strike the Viol<\/em> is from the Ode to Queen Mary\u2019s Birthday<\/em> (1694) by the prolific but short-lived court musician, Henry Purcell. This elegant text attributed to the poet laureate at the time, Nahum Tate, depicts the grace and gift of music. A most elegant lute song by John Dowland is the curiously titled, Tarleton\u2019s<\/em> Resurrection<\/em>, a musical tribute to Richard Tarleton, renowned court jester for Queen Elizabeth I. After his sudden death, Tarleton, skilled actor, professional fool, playwright and poet\/essayist, was lauded and commemorated by his peers. The tune incorporated by Dowland, a most important musician in the Queen\u2019s Court at the time, is now attributed to Tarleton himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue the elegance of the Renaissance with two French Airs de Cour beginning with the beautiful song, Enfin la beaut\u00e9<\/em>, a rare text on requited love, followed by Ma belle si ton <\/em>\u00e2me<\/em>, a sort of \u201cGather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May sentiment\u201d- don\u2019t squander the youth of love, but go for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two beloved songs from the vast oeuvre of Reynaldo Hahn composed in a neo-baroque style gently escort us from the 17th<\/sup> to the 19th<\/sup> c. where we stay for an early 20th<\/sup> c. guitar favorite, followed by three Faur\u00e9 works. Pavane was arranged for us by the talented young composer, Justus Parrotta. Continuing south, Michael and Jon roam around Spain and bring us along for the fun. We three truly enjoy exploring repertoire of all eras and genres that fit the instruments at hand. So, from adapting the scoring for accompanying instruments such as the lute and piano to guitar and bass, we travel through Europe and end up in the Great American Songbook, North and South. We hope you will enjoy the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
