SUMMARY:Blackdowns Early Music Projects - Newe Vialles - 'The compleat violist'
DESCRIPTION:Henrik Persson and Caroline Ritchie: bass viols\nJamie Akers: theorbo and guitar\nPicture the music collection of an imaginary viol player\, living in London at the turn of the eighteenth century. Performed on two original bass viols built in 1675 and 1703 respectively\, this programme explores the repertoire that might have been played by their first owners. The beautiful decorations on each viol point to people of artistic taste and sensibility\, with money to spend – possibly educated on a European “grand tour”\, or frequenters of London book and music dealers. What would they have played? Music by English viol players such as Christopher Simpson\, Playford’s dance tunes\, pieces by immigrant composers working in London…perhaps they even had a copy of Marais’ first book\, or tried their hand at a Corelli sonata or two?\nThe programme features music by Christopher Simpson\, John Jenkins\, Gottfried Finger\, Johann Schenck\, Marin Marais\, and Arcangelo Corelli.

SUMMARY:Blackdowns Early Music Projects -  Brilliant Baroque from Bologna!
DESCRIPTION:Blackdowns Early Music Projects has been silent since November 2019\, but at last\, we are able to get back together and sing!\nWe are absolutely delighted to announce that we shall be working with The Musical & Amicable Society under their Director Martin Perkins who will lead from the keyboard\, to bring a programme of very rarely heard choral and instrumental baroque music from Bologna\, all composed by musicians associated with the Basilica of San Petronio.\nBologna was an active music centre\, alongside those in Florence and Venice and there is much to enjoy in this music. Martin has transcribed most of the pieces himself during the course of his own studies and we singers are really looking forward to delving into this repertoire\, with plenty of double choir\, florid violin and gamba accompaniments.\nNone of the composers is particularly well known as yet\, please allow us to introduce you to some new old music!

SUMMARY:Blackdowns Early Music Projects - The Musical & Amicable Society - Purcell & friends
DESCRIPTION:‘Purcell and Friends’ brings together some gems of the late 17th century to present popular songs and tunes from Purcell’s theatre works alongside music by his continental contemporaries performed by Martin Perkins (organ)\, Henrik Persson ( gamba/cello) Lisete da Silva (baroque flute/recorders) and Nicola Wemyss (mezzo).\nThe original Musical and Amicable Society was founded in 1762 by James Kempson\, who directed the choir at St Bartholomew’s Chapel\, Birmingham. Together with fellow musicians from St Philip’s Church (now Birmingham Cathedral)\, Kempson and his singers gathered on a regular basis at Cooke’s tavern in the Cherry Orchard “for practice and recreation”!\nIn 2003\, Kate Fawcett and Martin Perkins decided to revive this historic society as a collective of professional period-instrument specialists\, performing in combinations ranging from small ensembles to full orchestra.\nIndividually\, the members maintain successful freelance careers with some of Europe’s most prestigious period-instrument ensembles. Collectively\, they explore Baroque and Classical repertoire\, both familiar and forgotten\, recreating the soundscape of an earlier era for a twenty-first century audience.

SUMMARY:Blackdowns Early Music Projects - Newe Vialles - Good Againe
DESCRIPTION:At last! Real Live Music…\nThe BEMP Third Thursday recital series opens on May 20th in All Saints’ Church\, Culmstock\nFirst up will be Newe Vialles\, who are delighted to be returning to Culmstock for a recital of characterful and quirky music from 17th century England. The programme features sumptuous lyra viol music by the soldier turned composer Tobias Hume\, swift divisions by the master of English viol-playing Christopher Simpson\, and delicate dance duos by John Jenkins\, whose career spanned almost the whole of the century\, from the time of Charles I until well into the Restoration. We are delighted that this time\, Catherine Bass will join us for a set of lute and continuo songs\, and we will end the recital with a sonata by Benjamin Hely\, a little-known English composer and violist from the end of the century\, whose music shows definite hints of the high baroque. This will be our first public performance since the beginning of the pandemic and we hope that\, as Hume titles one of his pieces\, things will soon indeed be “good againe”.

SUMMARY:GRAND BAROQUE IV: Sances and Biber in Exeter Cathedral
DESCRIPTION:Giovanni Felice Sances (c1600 – 1679) Missa Sancta Maria Magdalenae\nHeinrich Ignatz von Biber (1644- 1704) Requiem à 15\nDirector JANJOOST VAN ELBURG\nSoloists: Amy Haworth\, Claire Lees\, Caroline Trevor\, Ingeborg Bröcheler\,\nMark Dobell\, Mark Bonney\, Thomas Flint & Simon Whiteley\nThe Monteverdi String Band\, English Cornett & Sackbut Ensemble \nBorn in Rome\, Sances established himself as a composer of secular music and virtuoso tenor. He was recruited to the Austrian Habsburg Court at Vienna in 1636 and remained there for over 40 years\, first as a singer\, then assistant chapel master and finally imperial chapel master. Just one source of the manuscript of Missa Sancta Maria Magdalenae exists\, in an extensive collection in Kromeríž\, now in Czechoslovakia. The scoring is opulent (seven voices\, two trombetti\, four sackbuts\, two violins and four viols) making it eminently suitable for the Grand Baroque series. \nHeinrich Biber was born in Bohemia to a violinist father and showed early promise as an all round musician\, playing strings\, keyboards and brass. He was mployed in the Salzburg Archbishopric and created much immensely fine music for the Prince Archbishop Maximillian Gandolf and the spacious acoustic of Salzburg Cathedral. Biber’s Mass and Vespers settings are renowned for extensive solo instrumental and vocal writing\, designed for just this space. When the Archbishop died suddenly on May 3rd 1687\, the funeral service was arranged immediately\, leaving Biber just 6 days to produce a new Requiem setting. The result is fantastic; he decided on 15 concerto parts\, six voices\, two trumpets\, three sackbuts and four independent string parts with supporting continuo\, in the unusually bright key of A major.

SUMMARY:The Lute Family: A Lecture/Recital by Lynda Sayce ~ a history of the lute
DESCRIPTION:BEMP SPRING FESTIVAL: Lynda Sayce will bring a number of her favourite examples of members of the lute family to share in her ‘lute roadshow’\, offering a history of the instrument\, illustrated with 10 or so different and contrasting lutes covering almost a millennium’s worth of music. Each instrument will be described in its historical context and Lynda will then play each one so the audience sees and hears a huge variety of music ranging from a maqam on an Arabic oud to an excerpt from a high baroque suite. Each instrument is chosen with great care so that they make a stunning visual display\, ranging from a tiny soprano lute to a 2 metre theorbo.
