SUMMARY:SingtheScore Extra with Robert Hollingworth
DESCRIPTION:The last this summer in our popular fortnightly series of Zooms with Robert Hollingworth of I Fagiolini and guest.  Robert is a natural chat show host and these Saturday mornings are always entertaining and informative. He will talk about the music he has chosen and you will have a chance to sing it through twice. This week’s guest will be the musicologist Professor Laurie Stras who will talk about the (until recently) mostly unknown world of music in convents in 16th century Italy. \nProfessor Stras is co-director of two early music ensembles\, Musica Secreta and an amateur female-voice choir\, Celestial Sirens.  For over twenty years\, her principal research focus has been the female musicians at the court and convents of 16th-century Ferrara\, and she has complemented this research with performance activities with her two ensembles. Her monograph on the female musicians at the court and convents of 16th-century Ferrara\, Women and Music in Sixteenth-Century Ferrara will be published in 2018.  She is also Professor of Music at the University of Huddersfield. \nRobert is hoping to continue SingTheScore Extra in the autumn\, but probably only once a month. \nPlease book below. \n

SUMMARY:Henry Purcell and the Music of Westminster Abbey with Patrick Craig
DESCRIPTION:Another presentation in Patrick’s inimitable style\, with wonderful pictures\, musical excerpts and personal anecdotes. \nHenry Purcell has been described as England’s Orpheus and ranks alongside the greatest of this country’s composers.  His rise to the position of Organist of Westminster Abbey at the age of 20 saw him lauded above the talents of his predecessor\, John Blow and his teacher\, Pelham Humfrey\, both of whose music we will hear in order to place Purcell in context. His family home was just round the corner from the Abbey and for a while he turned his back on the theatre music he had been pursuing to focus on this job. \nAs a countertenor Patrick has had the joy of singing much of Purcell’s solo music and will be delighted to share this colourful period in our country’s history. Including music by Gibbons and Croft\, Patrick will trace some of the most influential names in the musical heritage of Westminster Abbey and guide us through this extraordinary building. \nPlease book below.
