There programme tells the remarkable story of Margaret of Austria, one of the greatest patrons of the arts, though music from her own manuscripts. Margaret not only loved to dance and sing: above all she loved her green parrot.The programme’s title comes from the remarkable chanson Soubz ce tumbel, with its tragic text by Margaret’s court poet, Jean Lemaire, taken from his Epitaphe de l’Amant Vert, in which the Green Lover refers to the beloved green parrot.
The programme comprises songs and instrumental music, played on renaissance viols, with rebec, pipes and drums.
Audience quotes:
“A really enchanting and uplifting evening a joyous feast of melancholy!” “Somewhere between perfect and sublime”
