The Delights of Summer

A workshop with Tutor Alison Kinder for all voices and instruments enjoying the delights of Summer. A time when The Leaves be Green, Fair Phyliss is to be found feeding her flock, nymphs and shepherds are courting and dancing, and All Creatures Now Are Merry Minded. We’ll have a predominantly English day, with composers including Wilbye, Farmer, Bennett and Morley. Such as John Bennett’s ‘All Creatures Now’ (5-part), and the Morley ‘Hard By A Crystal Fountain’ (6-part), and Farmer ‘Ye Blessed Bowers’ (8-part).

We welcome all voices, strings (viols and violin family), recorders, brass, housetrained double reeds and wind caps (it would be wise to have a quieter alternative instrument or voice with you too for the daintier nymph and shepherd moments…!)
