This performance invites you into the world of graceful and intimate music nurtured in England from the Elizabethan period in the 16th century to the Baroque period in the 17th century. In this performance, the clear overlapping sounds of the two sopranos and the soft tones of the ancient instruments will create a three-dimensional portrait of the charms of English music. The program traces the flow from the concise and profound melodies of Thomas Morley and Robert Jones to the art of Henry Purcell, who is known as the English Orpheus. We invite you to experience the warm and transparent world of sound where two voices cohabit, sometimes intersecting, and sometimes resonating with each other. The performance will be presented with Japanese subtitles and video projection, making it accessible to everyone. We hope you will enjoy to the full the rich scenes of British music at its peak and the timeless melodies that have been loved throughout the ages.
