Throughout history, musicians have engaged with familiar and beloved music by reimagining it in their own new ways. They may use melodies as the cantus firmus for new compositions, reharmonize works, transform one style into another, ornament and embellish pieces, or arrange them for novel instrumentation, like modern cover songs. In this new program, The Aulos and the Kithara explore the diverse ways that earlier composers reimagined well known material of their times, with their own creative twist. Some reimaginings involve minor adaptations to the instrumentation, while others reshape the original material into something completely new. This unique trio of recorder, viola da gamba, and the rarely heard harp guitar performs music by Sermisy, Ortiz, Bach, Gounod, and multiple O’Briens that is sure to delight the ears and spark the imagination.
The Aulos and the Kithara: Emily O'Brien, recorders, Michael O'Brien, guitar, harp guitar, Nathan Varga, double bass, viola da gamba
