The quest for political power has changed little over the centuries. Kings and Presidents, popes and senators, all have their partisans, their detractors, their scandals, and their victories. Long before today's 24-hour news cycle, the propaganda machine ran on verse. Meravelha’s timely tour of Medieval political songs explores themes of nationalism, corruption, greed, propaganda, and justice for the common people. The program includes songs of the troubadours, works by Philip the Chancellor and Robert Morton, and selections from the Roman de Fauvel, the Trinity Carol Roll, the Notre Dame conductus repertoire, and the Carmina Burana. Between songs, the performers provide cultural and historical context for the music, and modern readings from social media and public commentary connect these works to our contemporary experiences.


Meravelha: Teri Kowiak, artistic director, voice: Joy Grimes, bowed strings: Barbara Allen Hill, voice, percussion; Jaya Lakshminarayanan, voice, harp; Dan Meyers, voice, winds, percussion; Eric Miller, voice; Catherine Stein, voice, winds
