SUMMARY:Prima la Parola - a Zoom talk by Emma Kirkby
DESCRIPTION:Prima la Parola – In praise of Speaking Harmony. \nUnder this title\, misquoting Salieri and stealing a phrase from Dowland\, Emma aims to celebrate the power and joy of song lyric.  Poems in Tudor England were often published as “Songs”\, and “lyric” means “apt for the lyre”.  Though the human voice was dutifully admired as the perfect instrument because it was entrusted with the words\, it was the alchemical blend of a voice with an instrument that had\, as Dowland said\, “higher authority and power”. \nThese days the lucky singers of what we call “early music” have a plethora of historical instruments eager to accompany them\,  in a balance perfect for delivering the text.  Emma has benefitted from this for decades now\, finding endless interest and excitement in her search for ever more effective ways to “embody” a lyric. \nIn her presentation for MEMF she will share her ideas on this\, and play tracks of singers she admires\,  both those who inspired her early on\, and the new voices that excite her now. \nPlease book below.
