The King’s Flutes: Early Tudor Court Music at Raudondvaris Manor
08 February 2022
On the 18th of February at 17:00 in Raudondvaris Manor and on the 20th February at 16:00 in Bauska Castle early music concert “The King’s Flutes: Early Tudor Court Music ” will take place.
Henry VIII’s passion for singing, dancing and composing songs was well known during his reign. By the time of the King’s death in 1547, he had amassed an enormous collection of instruments, including over 70 transverse flutes. In this program, Phaedrus aims to bring the sound of Henry VIII’s flutes back to life, presenting a selection of music which might have been played by his instruments from the most beloved manuscripts which circulated in the English court during the king’s lifetime: courtly love songs, instrumental fantasies, and some of the earliest English dance tunes arranged for traverso consort.
