Modern Madrigals (and a warning against smoking…)
A musical setting of tobacco warnings features in The Tudor Consort’s upcoming concert Modern Madrigals at St Andrew’s on The Terrace on August 31.
Smoking can kill is the work of contemporary Finnish composer Jaako Mäntyjärvi, whose set of four Modern Madrigals gave the concert its name. In keeping with the Consort’s Renaissance Influences theme, sixteenth century music is juxtaposed with later works in the same vein.
“The vast majority of the music we perform is sacred – masses, motets, Gregorian chant,” says Music Director Michael Stewart. “This programme is entirely secular, which means we can let our hair down a bit more.”
The programme also features Kings Singers arrangements of Lennon/McCartney favourites Blackbird and Yesterday, alongside works by Gesualdo, Ravel, Stanford and Poulenc.
