25 and 26 April Shakespeare, Music and Sonnets

Weekend Shakespeare birthday bash at Renaissance Island. (Music and sonnets that you won't believe.)

Details to be anounced.

4 APRIL 09 Mostly Baroque (but still alive)

4 April 2009. Thom and Gorse will play a concert of mostly baroque music at Music Island at 12 pm (21.00 Suisse.) Gorse has a new bass recorder! She will play the basso continuo for me on several pieces. This is going to be fun!!!

Will will open with 2 renaissance pieces by Landini for tenor and bass recorders, then I will play Wat zal men op den avond doen, one of my favorite pieces by van Eyck on a transition soprano.

Next we will enter the 18th century with a suite of an unknown composer (Fischer?) for alto recorder and B.C.

After we will go to France for a suite for 2 alto recorders from Les Fleurs (The Flowers) by Delavingne. Then a solo suite by Demoivre. Finally we will play the famous solo sonata in F major for alto and B.C. by Telemann.

If you are not in SecondLife you can listen at 38.96.45:8888

I-TUNES, advanced, open stream, paste the number 38.96.45:8888 ok.

Enjoy!
