成人快手

Live from Cadogan Hall, London

Presented by Clemency Burton-Hill

Vocal ensemble Tenebrae, in its Proms debut performance, conjures up the spirit of early 17th century London with old and new music based on the rhymes and street-cries of its inhabitants.

Orlando Gibbons's The Cryes of London uses viols to accompany street vendors' cries, while Steve Martland's modern-day equivalent uses a marimba along with the voices in traditional songs such as 'Oranges and Lemons'. There's also the world premiere of Julian Philips's Sorowfull Songes, which sets an excerpt from the first anthology of English poetry, Tottel's Miscellany, published in London in 1557.
