Alison Kinder
Workshop for Instruments and Voices – the Serpent and the Dragon
Ruggiero Giovannelli (1560–1625) Estote fortes in bello
(Be valiant in war and fight the ancient serpent, and you shall enter the everlasting kingdom. Alleluia.)
Richard Dering (c1580–1630) Factum est silentium
(There was silence in heaven When the dragon fought with the Archangel Michael. The voice of thousands of thousands was heard saying: Salvation, honour and power be to almighty God. Thousands of thousands ministered to him and ten hundreds of thousands stood before him.)
If there’s time, we might also visit the insect hotel to meet a singing cricket!
