The Morning Star - Music from Northern Europe

This program spans the centuries from the anonymous works of Medieval England to the German Baroque of Johann Sebastian Bach, with a sprinkling of lively polyphonic dances from the 15th century and a healthy dose of sublime prayers, earthy songs, and instrumental compositions by Ludwig Senfl, William Byrd and others.

Farallon Recorder Quartet is a California-based early music… Show more group that brings the music of the Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque and Modern Eras to today’s audiences with polish, verve, and precision. They employ a fascinating array of recorder sizes ranging from 6 inches to 6 feet tall, modeled after medieval, renaissance and baroque originals. Their most recent CD recording, From Albion’s Shores, has been described by Early Music America as “the sound one would get if one could turn honey into wood or stand underneath a caramel fountain.”
