The Queen's Delight: Elizabethan Music for Voice and Recorder

The 2017 program of GMMEV will feature the three famous masses of William Byrd and recorder music by Byrd and his contemporaries. Byrd, a favorite of Queen Elizabeth, composed masses for three, four, and five voices. GMMEV will perform the entire 5-voice mass and portions of the 3- and 4-voice masses, as well as the gorgeous motet Ne irascaris, Domine. The Far and Away recorder ensemble will perform lively pieces by Byrd, Hilton, Morley and others to complement the sacred texts of the masses and motet.

The performances will take place as follows:

·      Friday August 18 – Unitarian Church of Montpelier, 130 Main Street – 7:30 p.m. 

·      Saturday August 19 – First United Methodist Church, 21 Buell Street, Burlington – 7:30 p.m.

·      Sunday August 20 – ​Seven Stars Arts Center, Sharon, 5126 VT Route 14 – 4:00 p.m.
