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.

SUMMARY:Blackdowns Early Music Projects:   Maestros del Monasterios
DESCRIPTION:JanJoost van Elburg will direct choral music retrieved from the archives of the Monasterio de la Encarnacion and Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales in Madrid. This music has rarely been performed in recent times\, yet it represents a large body of work by musicians working throughout the 17th century and even later. They were influenced by the legacy of the great Tomas Luis de Victoria\, who had lived in Descalzas Reales for many years before his death in 1611. Singers will be accompanied by Frances Kelly (harp)\, Peter McCarthy (violone) and Martin Perkins (chamber organ). Tickets £15 (students £8\, u12 free)
