| 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.
