Pellingmans' Saraband
Twenty Waies upon the Bels
Division-Musicke and polyphonic pieces for viol and lute
The art of 'dividing' upon a ground bass, or playing 'divisions', was the Elizabethan and 17th-century equivalent of our modern jazz tradition. Sometimes improvised, sometimes composed, 'Division-Musicke' was central to the musical life of skilled amateur and professional players.
In this programme for viol and lute, virtuoso players Susanna Pell and Jacob Heringman (Pellingmans' Saraband) perform examples of this rich and vibrant repertoire. John Dowland will be among the featured composers, to mark the 400th anniversary of his death, in February 1626.
Tickets will be available at the door, and tea will be served afterwards.
