An exploration of animal and bird life in music from the 16th to the 18th centuries.
Creatures in music vary from the literal to symbolic & they can also serve as moral inspiration for humanity. Whether it’s the recognisable sound of the cuckoo or the lesson in cunning from the fox, animals have inspired musicians throughout the centuries. From Biber’s frogs through Clérambault’s oysters to Telemann’s canary, these vocal and instrumental pieces have their roots in the animal kingdom.
To include music by Purcell, Monteverdi, Gibbons, Biber, Clérambault,Telemann & others.
Héloïse Bernard voice, Annemarie Klein recorders, Angela Stevenson viol, Jan Waterfield harpsichord
