DLR residency Spring 2016. 16th session and 2nd concert: Wednesday 1st June. The first of our pair of June concerts – marking the end of our residency – was a great success. We had a good turnout and a very enthusiastic response, with many attendees waiting to thank us personally at the end of the evening. The repertoire was generally local with some early Italians thrown in to illustrate the origins of our instruments and outlook:. 1 Giovanni Pandolfi Mealli (c.1630 c.1670) Sonata: ‘. Which followed; in...

DLR residency Spring 2016. 12 and-a-halfth session: Wednesday 4th May. Eamon and I had an off-site session just to rehearse the John Dowland song. In Darkness Let me Dwell. This was written to be played and sung by a lutenist (the composer himself), but is usually now not sung by the player. There is a consort version for viols too, as with his famous Lachrymae. But it’s a real gothic gem. The poem is anonymous, about 1600, and Dowland’s setting from 1610. Thus, wedded to my woes, and bedded in my tomb,.

DLR residency Spring 2016. 14th session: Friday 20th May. Today we returned to my DunLaoghaire Harbour-inspired composition. Which we haven’t looked at for a while. It was lovely to revisit it, it sounds better than I remember! Partly because we improved it today…). Where’s the Lexicon? Movement to the end, which is from the 11th sonata; many of them end with a. And we missed it here, so pinched this one that is in the right key. The other thing we worked on was a. Which is even more rhapsodic and his.

DLR residency Spring 2016. 20th session and final concert: Friday 24th June. Our residency concluded with this concert which was a great experience for us and an evidently fulfilling evening for the sizeable audience in the LexIcon studio. It really is a nice acoustic for chamber music; I was grateful for its resonance in the Dowland song. The full programme was. 1 John Dowland (1563-1626). In Darkness Let Me Dwell. 4 Johann Schop (c.1590-1667). 5 Erik Satie (1866-1925). Quand Je Menais mes Chevaux Boire.
