| Boughton Aluph Church, Ashford, Ashford, United Kingdom Friday 21-Jun-13 07:30pm Triumphs: Renaissance Conquests in Love and War Tickets: £22.00 £16.00 £12.00 One of the world’s most celebrated ensembles, The King’s Singers have a packed schedule of concerts, recordings, media and education work that spans the globe. They champion the work of both young and established composers, whether singing Tomkins or Takemitsu, Bach or Bublé. Love and War: two favourite Renaissance themes feature in this programme of music from England, Italy and France. The inspiration for the first half is the 1592 collection of madrigals Il trionfi di Dori; the second half starts and finishes with two of the great chansons by Clément Janequin – his depiction of street life in Paris (Les Cris de Paris) and his musical rendition of the 1515 Battle of Marignano (La Guerre).

Boughton Aluph Church, Ashford French Flair : Italian Furore Stour Music |
Works by Boismortier Works by Vivaldi Works by Marais Works by Dornel |
| ||
| Boughton Aluph Church, Ashford, Ashford, United Kingdom Saturday 22-Jun-13 07:30pm French Flair : Italian Furore Tickets: £18.00 £15.00 £12.00 Given the difficulties of travel and communication three centuries ago, it is all the more exciting to find that there was actually a great deal of musical exchange in Europe at this time. Indeed, because music was so highly appreciated at the Courts, composers were often paid to travel in order to bring back the latest styles and compositions. So it was that during the first half of the eighteenth century many French composers adopted Italian elements in their compositions, and also used the Italian vocabulary to name works and movements.
