Mozart’s Pilgrimage
Lucie Skeaping presents highlights from a concert given by The Cardinall's Musick at the 2011 Bath Mozartfest. Mozart spent many years travelling across Europe absorbing the music he heard and learning from the musicians he met. This concert features choral music by some of the composers Mozart admired or may have met on his travels, including pieces by William Boyce, Antonio Lotti, Gregorio Allegri, Giovanni Palestrina, J.S. Bach and Mozart himself.
Don’t be put off
WAM appears only at the beginning and the end.
Sunday
Fretwork and winners of the National Centre for Early Music Composers Award
Lucie Skeaping introduces highlights from a concert given by Fretwork at Kings Place in London last month, featuring actor Sir Tom Courtenay and the winners of the Radio 3/NCEM Young Composers' Award.
Composers under the age of 25 were invited to write a short piece especially for Fretwork and the winning three entries were given their first official performance in this concert.
The other music in the programme reflects the theme of the Winter Solstice through appropriate music and poetry.
Also in this edition of the Early Music Show, Lucie Skeaping announces the details for the 2012 Radio 3/NCEM Young Composers' Award.
