Finding beauty in a Paradise Lost / Christopher Wattam
Hello dear friends! Today we have a special episode without sight-reading! This episode is dedicated to a concert we performed in May: Lost Paradise. The concert follows the transformation of Lucifer, as written by John Milton and re-formatted as a libretto by John Dryden. We will be talking to our friend and colleague Chris Wattam, who sang in the concert, and discuss the concept, process and final product. You will hear excepts from the concert: improvisations as well as music by Henry Purcell, Thomas Morley, William Byrd. At the end, as a special treat, Chris will recite a text heard in the concert in original pronunciation.
