About
Experience the music of the middle ages and early modern period – with a 21st century twist – in Consort of 1, Looping Through Time at the Chantry Chapel!
Lizzie Gutteridge (a member of The York Waits and Blondel) explores historically informed interpretations of pieces from historical manuscripts, ranging from 13th century dance tunes through 15th century chansons and 16th century consorts to divisions on a ground from the 17th century.
The music is given the lightest of modern make-overs with the aid of live looping equipment which records and plays back what happens on stage. Much of this material lends itself well to the layers and cycles that can be produced using the loop station, and most of the musical arrangements are based on the premise of “what might a person from the period when this tune was written have done with this technology, had they had the chance?”
