Long & Away presents an eclectic program that travels with the Muses from the 1400s to the present day.

Inspired by the time hopping “Song of Time” theme from The Legend of Zelda, the journey begins with a trove of early Renaissance music by Dufay, Binchois, and their contemporaries performed on the vielle, ancestor of the viol.

The program then highlights the great 16th and 17th-c.

English viol consort composers Gibbons, Jenkins, and Purcell.

Moving ever forward in time, the musicians sample dance tunes of 18th-c.

Scotland and choral writing of 20th-c.

France, then make their way to the modern era with pieces by living composers Will Ayton and Larry Wallach.

The consort bids farewell to the Muses and closes the Door of Time with James Perretta’s Consort Fantasy on The Song of Time.

Long & Away: Karen Burciaga, treble & tenor viol, vielle; Anne Legêne, treble & tenor viol; James Perretta, bass viol, vielle
