HESPERUS presents an irreverent exploration of the animal kingdom. The program features a quartet of multi-instrumentalists along with spirited narration in a concert meant for anyone who ever had a pet turtle, gerbil or snake. The mysterious cat, slithering panther, mythical phoenix, and majestic lion all come alive in texts from Medieval and Renaissance bestiaries (illuminated books of beasts) and music by Machaut, Vaillant, Isaac, Arbeau, Ciconia, and Morley. Thrill to the original story of Androcles and the lion, and the tale of the dog who unearthed a murderer!HESPERUS:
Tina Chancey, viol, vielle, rebec, Renaissance fiddle, recorder, dumbek
Dan Meyers, recorders, flute, sackbut, bagpipes, percussion
Brian Kay, Medieval and Renaissance lutes
Spiff Wiegand, narrator, percussion
