Le Jardin de Mélodies: 16th-century French dances and songs

David Douglass, violin; Robert Mealy, violin & viola; Shira Kammen & Julie Andrijeski, viola;
David Morris, basse de violon; Ellen Hargis, soprano; Paul O’Dette & Patrick O’Brien, lutes, guitars & cittern; Tom Zajac, bagpipes & percussion

In a back-by-popular-demand performance, The King’s Noyse opens the Festival with a welcoming and fitting program of 16th-century French songs and dances. Honored with the Noah Greenberg Award in 1997, Le Jardin de Mélodies presents the Renaissance French ballad and dance-song repertory culled from the wealth of music written for the entertainment of monarchs at court, with music ranging from ceremonial royal entries with drums to the lament of a great queen on the death of her husband.
