After many programs on the sacred side of Lowlands music, we focus this series on the secular repertoire:
#09-18: 04/27/09 --Flemish Dance and Songbooks: The Early Performers--A look back at some of the early dance recordings: the Capella Antiqua, Musica Aurea, Musica Reservata, and the Early Music Consort of London.
#09-19: 05/04/09 --Flemish Dance and Songbooks: Piffaro--The superb American wind ensemble, with their informed performances of this popular repertoire.
#09-20: 05/11/09 --Giaches de Wert: The Madrigals--Born probably in Weert near Antwerp, Giaches not only went to Italy but was a master in the evolution of the late 16th century madrigal form.
#09-21: 05/18/09 --Cipriano de Rore: Madigals and Secular motets--Born in Ronse of a Francophone father and Flemish mother, Cipiriano (like Giaches de Wert) brought the Flemish musical genius to Italy.
#09-22: 05/25/09 --Suzanne van Soldt--The woman's ensemble Les Witches bring vividly to live the 1599 songbook of this Antwerp girl who fled with her family to Elizabethan England at the time of the Spanish invasion.
