"1000"
Programme for Arts Festivals
c1024 - c2024
~ a thousand years of musical development ~
This programme is delivered with engaging connecting narrative, adding to the drama and context of the musical developments from an Anglo-centric perspective.
“1000” opens with a Fanfare from Caen Castle, a Ballad from Bayeaux, and embarks on a journey through European medieval music, English Tudor and Elizabethan music, through to European Baroque music, processing right through Classical, Romantic, and Impressionistic periods, to open out the familiarity of film and chart music, culminating with original composition work of Andrew’s (Oushi-Machi), with music very much “of our present time”
Instrumentation: vocal narrative, lute, classical guitar, piano, orchestral timbre keyboard, electric guitar.
