Cambridge Early Music CONCERT SERIES 2009
English Ayres Jeni Melia, Helen Price, Selene Mills, Christopher Goodwin (voices and lute)
An afternoon concert of Cavalier songs and partsongs – cheerful songs from a troubled time. Few artists can have felt the transience of love and life more keenly than the ‘Cavalier’ poets and musicians of the early 17th century. In this programme English Ayres tell the story of a cavalier’s life, with the partsongs of Lanier, Wilson, the Lawes brothers, Locke and their contemporaries. As befits their theme, and the character of the society that made them, these seldom-heard Cavalier partsongs are at the same time as light as a feather, yet achingly poignant – and surprisingly modern in their preoccupations..
3.00 pm, Sunday 12 July, 2009 St Bene’t‘s Church Tickets: £12, £9
