This production was first performed on September 2011 in Santa Maria dei Miracoli, Venice, and has been newly adapted for Trinity College Chapel. The piece tells the story of the struggle of Anima and Corpo (Soul and Body) to resist earthly temptations and dedicate themselves to a holy life. They encounter a succession of corrupting influences, intent on derailing their resolve: The World, his companion Worldly Life, Pleasure and her acolytes. Under the fearsome supervision of their Guardian Angel, Anima and Corpo are given a glimpse of the eternity that could await them… in Heaven or in Hell. Philip Thorby, one of the world’s most distinguished exponents of Renaissance and Baroque music, professor at Trinity Laban and responsible for the modern edition of the Rappresentatione, conducts. Lewis Reynolds, who has directed at the Arcola Theatre, The Kings Head Theatre and now as an assistant director at the Royal Opera House, returns as director. The cast will be led by soprano Ruth Fraser, recent graduate of Trinity Laban, and baritone Guy Hayward, an ex-choral scholar of Trinity College, Cambridge. Cavalieris miraculous, pioneering music will be brought to life by distinguished instrumentalists, including Jennifer Bennett, violin, and David Hatcher, bass viol, improvising obbligato parts around the voices in a way described in contemporary sources but rarely heard today, and Cambridge University choral scholars will sing the roles and chorus.

Kids don't often get the chance to hear live music so we're organising these projects to get out there and really fire their enthusiasm for learning about music and picking up an instrument. The performances will be very short -- only around 30 minutes, and constitute perhaps a couple of brief pieces and a basic explanation of how you got interested in music and what you enjoy about playing. It's short, it's easy, it's flexible, it's enjoyable and it's a great way to get involved in the amazing work that CaMEO does --- transport will be FREE and you can organise with the schools directly for a time in your busy schedule that suits YOU. *** If you're interested please drop me a message - <a href="mailto:performers@mus.cam.ac.uk">performers@mus.cam.ac.uk</a> *** ab243 on "Violin And Viola Wanted" http://www.cammuso.org.uk/forums/topic/516#post-537 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:41:13 +0000 ab243 537@http://www.cammuso.org.uk/forums/ Violin and viola wanted for Piano Quartets March 9th 2012 - Friday at 7.30pm.

It has become shorthand for non-long poems, for short poems concerned with voice and feeling, for poems that address a readership, for poems which are musical, for poems based on ballads, hymns, jingles, tunes, song, and hip hop, for poems in which a tacit or explicit ‘I’ speaks to no one in particular. These problems of definition are inseparable from more general issues concerning the verbal work of art: what are its extra-linguistic, illocutionary and perlocutionary features, and how is it made? Furthermore, what is the relationship between lyric and metricality? between lyric and subjectivity? Is lyric a mode of thinking? How does lyric address authority and the discourses which underwrite power? What is the relation between lyric and capital? The study of lyric remains in a significant position at the disciplinary junction of historical poetics, versification studies, musicology, linguistics, aesthetics, and social theory. We envision this conference to be a multi-disciplinary forum through which scholars from various disciplines—English and Comparative Literature, Classics, Musicology, Linguistics, Philosophy among them—address the theoretical, historical, and social dimensions of lyric. We invite papers that conceptualize ‘lyric’, as well as papers which take a specific text or historical focus. We welcome interdisciplinary approaches which consider lyric’s relationship to music, visual art, drama, dance, and performance. Papers should be 20 minutes in duration. Poetry readings will follow the conference proceedings. Please send paper proposals of no more than 250 words to Ryan Dobran at shapeofsong [at] gmail [dot] com before 15 February 2012. gwg24 on "Singing Lessons" http://www.cammuso.org.uk/forums/topic/512#post-533 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 10:44:24 +0000 gwg24 533@http://www.cammuso.org.uk/forums/ I'm very keen to have singing lessons.
