Description

Today we're going to talk a little bit about St. George's Chapel and Windsor by talking about the composers John Merbecke and, fast-forward to today, Simon Whitely, who is a lay clerk there and leader of the group, "The Queen's Six", who you might know from their recent performance at Prince Phillip's funeral and Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's wedding. All kinds of Royal stuff going on today. www.thequeenssix.co.ukwww.soundofageschoir.com/podcast

Once understood at even a surface level, early music has the power to transform how all music is heard and felt. Discussions and interviews about a wide range of topics within the choral art and how those principles can help conductors, singers, and audience members have a deeper appreciation for historical music. We aim to connect the fundamental elements of early music to the music of more contemporary times to illustrate the relevance early music still holds. Guests include Owain Park, Carolann Buff, Peter Schubert, Eric Whitacre, Tony Silvestri, Nigel Short, Chris Gabbitas, and many more.
