Program: "All creatures now are merry minded." It will consist of songs about animals
by Banchieri and Bartlet, Bennet, Praetorius, and others for voices, violin,
recorders, sackbutts, krummhorn, harp, spinettino, racketts, tartold,
percussion, and some new extreme early instruments including zuffolo and
violone.
Highly recommended book for anyone wishing to sort out the usage and history of
early tunings and temperaments: "How Equal Temperament Ruined Harmony (and
Why you should care)" by Ross Duffin of Case Western Reserve University from W.W. Norton & Co. It
is an entertaining
treatment of the
subject written with humor and great expertise. Illustrations by Philip Neuman
are included.
