SUMMARY:Concert - Divertimento String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 7th Mar – 3pm Temple Methodist Church\, Taunton\, TA1 3PY.\nTickets £20\, students £10\, under 18s free\, in advance from enquiries@divertimento.uk.com\, 01803 863677 or at the door. \nJ.P Rameau – Chaconne from Castor & Pollux Suite\nFritz Kreisler String Quartet in A minor\nRobert Schumann String Quartet in A\, Op 41 no 3 \nRameau’s Chaconne from Castor et Pollux is from his opera where characters wrestle with fate\, love\, and moral dilemmas. Rameau’s music elevates these conflicts into a realm of expressive sophistication\, making this opera a cornerstone of 18th-century French music. \nAlthough overshadowed by Kreisler’s fame as a virtuoso and his popular salon pieces\, his string quartet is a substantial and rewarding work. It combines melodic charm with structural sophistication\, offering performers and listeners a glimpse of Kreisler’s depth as a composer beyond the encore repertoire. \nSchumann’s String Quartet in A was composed in 1842\, which was known as Schumann’s “chamber music year\,” during which he composed three string quartets\, a piano quartet\, and the celebrated piano quintet. After years devoted to piano works and songs\, Schumann immersed himself in the quartets of Haydn\, Mozart\, and Beethoven\, determined to master the genre. The Op. 41 quartets were written in just five weeks and dedicated to Felix Mendelssohn.

SUMMARY:Blackdowns Early Music Projects - The Earthquake Mass
DESCRIPTION:Guest Director Andrea Brown\, in a programme of early music for voices\, sackbuts and cornetts.\nWith some themes relating to Easter\, the programme highlights two sections of Brumel’s extraordinary Earthquake Mass.  This is the  earliest known Mass of its kind\, having been written in the 1490s and surviving thanks to the interest of the musicians at the Bavarian Court in 1570\, who had a copy made.\nOther works in the programme include music written by Brumel’s near contemporaries Gombert\,  Ockeghem and Isaac.  We also include music by Lassus\, who sang in the first performance of Brumel’s Mass in the Bavarian Court as well other later works by his contemporaries\, Gibbons and Praetorius
