SMALL PROGRAMMES

2008/9

 

COOL CONTINUO

Music from the Baroque to the present day for

Flute, Oboe, Cello and Harp 

 

with Mezzo Soprano 

Yvonne Howard

 

The harp is an infinitely older instrument than the harpsichord, and at one time, the great houses and courts of Britain all boasted a resident harpist. It gives a very rich effect when used with continuo cello 

 

Programmes include 

Cantatas by Telemann and Bach Bach Cello Suites and 

sumptuous Trios with harp

.

                           

                Rowena Bass Harp 

FLUTE AND HARP

Flute and harp is the ideal duo combination: there is a varied and attractive original repertoire and the sounds complement one another perfectly. Also, no piano needed! We offer a Victorian programme in addition.
