A Wayfarer's Winter Prayer
Nigel Shaw (flutes, electric piano, ancient and ethnic instruments)
Carolyn Hillyer (hand drums, vocals)
A candlelit winter concert by two renowned Dartmoor
musicians/composers who will wrap their music around the quietening of
the year and the deepening of our collective journeys into the
darkness.
"We will share an honouring to the frosted land, the chill waters, the
incubating earth and the fires that warm winter dreams. We will spin
together music and songs from new and recent work, perform with some
strange and ancient instruments and share a simple ritual that will
bless all our footsteps as we follow the trails of winter and rest
inside the cold months. Featuring music from the new album BONES, as
well as songs from THE WYCHED WOMBE, NOCTURNES and WEAVING THE LAND.
You are very warmly invited to join us for an evening of gentle
wayfaring."

Shepherds, what have you seen? A Flemish Christmas
Join us for an evening of seasonal 16th century music that centres on
the nativity scene, and upon the humble shepherds who were among the
first to see the baby Jesus. Our programme features works by Jacob
Clemens and his Franco-Flemish contemporaries. Clemens's music is
polyphonic perfection: unlike most northern European composers of the
time he never travelled to Italy; he revels in relatively conservative
close-worked counterpoint and sonorous chording. His Missa Pastores
quidnam vidistis moves seamlessly between moods of contemplative
reverence and joyful dancing. All is crowned by a rapturous Agnus Dei
in which the texture is enriched by an extra voice. The setting of the
Mass will be interspersed with seasonal motets by Gombert, Verdelot,
Josquin, Willaert and Clemens himself. Mulled wine and mince pies will
be available at the interval. Vrolijk kerstfeest!
