Essex Baroque Orchestra ; Psalmody dir. Peter Holman

As part of the celebrations of the 400th anniversary of John Milton's birth, spearheaded by Christ's College, and in partnership with the Suffolk Villages Festival, the Cambridge Early Music Concert Series 2008 present this performance of a Handel masterpiece, sometimes known as "Merriment, Melancholy and Moderation". Milton's "L'Allegro" and "Il Penseroso" provide the text of the first two sections of this secular oratorio, while Handel's regular librettist Charles Jennens completed the set with "Il Moderato". Extolling the pleasures of the English countryside, this rarely-performed work contains some of Handel's most beautiful and memorable music.
There will be a pre-concert talk by Dr Jessica Martin, Fellow of Trinity College Cambridge, at 5.00pm in Trinity College Chapel. Admission to the talk is free.

Fairy tales, adventure novels, Hollywood movies - stories in their many guises are a part of the fabric of our cultural identity, exerting a formative influence on our thinking and our values. In this programme we hear sacred and secular stories by Carissimi, Strozzi, Merula, d'India and others. From very different corners of Europe, the baroque harpist Marie Bournisien (France) and the two sopranos Kristine Jaunalksne (Latvia) and Ulrike Hofbauer (Germany) bring a highly unusual approach to this entrancing music.

Three members of Fires of Love, a versatile and unusual combination of voices and instruments, attended CEMSS courses, and now they are one of Scotland's leading ensembles specialising in Renaissance and early Baroque music. This concert focuses on the virtuoso musician, teacher, composer, arranger, and music publisher Adrian Le Roy. His amazing career coincided with the horrors of the French Wars of Religion, in which perhaps four million people were killed. The programme includes a group of songs with Renaissance guitar accompaniment, which are believed to be the first guitar songs published anywhere - a very distant forerunner of rock and roll.

"The sweet resonance of the harmony which is borne of the lute touched by the divine fingers of Francesco Milanese, by making itself heard in the soul, robs the senses of those who hear it" - Francesco Marcolini, 1536. Francesco Canova da Milano was one of the foremost Italian composers of the early 16th century; his contemporaries called him "Il Divino" and his name became synonymous with the lute. Jacob Heringman presents a recital of Francesco's works, taken chiefly from the Siena Lute Book.

St Edwards Church

Corinna Moving Tone — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 12:55:24 +0000

Edward's seeks to foster a spiritual culture for the new millennium. It is committed to Christ and to celebrating the glory of the Christian tradition; it seeks to be open to that Spirit everywhere, not only in the Church but outside it, including other spiritual practices, new movements in science, psychology and ecology. It is aware that the Church has often alienated those it seeks to serve, but hopes that this approach will embrace spiritual seekers of all kinds in an atmosphere of warmth and openness.
