Dunedin Consort
Reformations: Cantata
Hilary Cronin, Jess Dandy, Roderick Williams
Pulled from an Irish bog in 2006, the Faddan More Psalter serves as the inspiration for a new cantata from David Fennessy that uses similar orchestration to the unusual forces of this evening’s other three cantatas. Pairs of recorders, cellos, and violas da gamba take centre stage, sharing the limelight with four outstanding soloists, in music that reflects on life and death.
