Graindelavoix
(introduced
to us by David Allinson last Friday lunchtime) is an Antwerp based
multidisciplinary company with a fascination for the voice, the
genealogy of vocal repertoires and their relationships with the

sing Stabat
Mater by Josquin des Prez. (9mins)

if you’re interested, is a video examining their unique sound

Allemande
from Handel’s Suite in E
(the
Harmonious Blacksmith) played by Jill Crossland on Handel's birthday
(Tuesday) The story is that while working at Cannons near Stanmore in
North London, Handel took shelter from the rain and heard the
eponymous blacksmith beating out his rhythm at the anvil (or singing
the theme of the final variation movement). The fabrication went to
the lengths of finding a deceased person associated with the parish
(but who was NOT a blacksmith) and giving him a completely fake
gravestone saying he was the Harmonious Blacksmith. In fact, Handel
wrote the piece before he even arrived in England. He published his
keyboard suites both as a calling card, and to combat pirate
editions. It came live from St George’s Headstone here.
(5 mins)
Also for Handel’s
birthday, Eternal
Source of Light Divine
