SoHIP 2016: Cavalier Consort - Music from Court and College: A musick meeting from Oxford
In the 1640s, the city of Oxford hosted the royal court - and it's musical establishment - as tensions between king and parliament became too great for Charles to remain in London. Twenty years later, after stability and the monarchy were restored, Oxford was once again a musical center. The school of music hosted regular meetings where a mixed group of professional and highly skilled amateur musicians met to play the intricate and exciting new music by luminaries such as Christopher Gibbons, Christopher Simpson, and Matthew Locke. This musick meeting explores both of these Oxfordian styles - the airs and dances for royal entertainment, and the abstract works of the university players.
