Jubal is probably best known in the words of 'Oh, had I Jubal's lyre!' from Handel's oratorio Joshua. Depending on the translation of Genesis, Jubal is credited as being the inventor of music, as 'the father of all such as handle the harp and organ' in the King James Version, and in the New International Version of the Bible, Jubal is given as the father of stringed instruments and pipes. Ficino Ensemble with special guest piper Mark Redmond will present Jubal's Air by Kevin Volans in an exciting programme which includes Felix Mendelssohn's jubilant String Octet.
