Radiance, Romance, and a Rocket (Oxford Chamber Music Festival)
Sat 28 Sep, 13:00 - 14:00
Holywell Music Room, Oxford
In the 1970s an eighteenth-century manuscript was discovered in Christ Church library containing Handel’s chamber arrangement of his immortal Water Music, originally written for an evening Royal pageant on the Thames – with a barge accommodating 50 musicians. Perhaps the royal party also saw the fireflies which buzz through Bridge’s fine Phantasy, or finished their excursion in the beautiful twilight of the Phantasy’s ending. In between Handel and Bridge, Oxford-based Jennifer Walshe’s very funny performance piece for a multi-tasking ‘cellist, and some Radiant Romance.
