Instruments of Time and Truth
Songs for these distracted times
Music of reflection and relief from the English Civil War
Curated by Christopher Bucknall, this programme turns to music born out of one of England's most turbulent chapters. In the upheaval of the Civil War, composers and poets found in song, for voices and instruments, a means of reflection, solace, and escape. Their music speaks with a remarkable intimacy across the centuries.
