Dirges at Dusk: Nightscapes from the British Isles
Jarring Sounds (Danielle Reutter-Harrah, mezzo-soprano and Adam Cockerham, guitar/lute) will present "Dirges at Dusk: Nightscapes from the British Isles" a program of English music that evokes the feeling of night with works by Benjamin Britten (born 100 years ago this year in 1913), Dowland, Purcell, Duarte, Lawes and Campion.
Jarring Sounds was formed in 2011 out of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music as a result of mutual artistic interests. Comprised of mezzo-soprano Danielle Reutter-Harrah and Adam Cockerham, who plays guitar, lute, & theorbo, the duo is committed to the repertoire of early European songs of the 16th and 17th centuries, as well as contemporary classical works of the 20th and 21st centuries. The small ensemble setting of a single voice and instrument allows for flexible creative interpretation not possible in a larger setting.
"Jarring Sounds" may have a modern connotation, which resonates with their affinity for contemporary compositions. The line is in fact taken directly from the lyrics in John Dowland's (1563-1626) lute ayre "In Darkness Let Me Dwell," one of the first collaborations between Reutter-Harrah and Cockerham. The name's link to both early and recent works exemplifies the duo's artistic mission.
