Would Leonard Cohen have been a lutenist?
In the 16th century, long before mp3 files and that now old fashioned medium the CD (or in my house the LP!) people wrote and sang songs, about deep feelings of life and mortality and matters of the heart and accompanied them on the lute.
Nowadays we often talk of singer songwriters. The death last week of Leonard Cohen reminds us strongly of this tradition. Yes, I think that if he had lived in an earlier time he would have been a lute song writer.
On Sunday afternoon we have a chance to hear music from this time. Mary Morgan, soprano and Steve Graham, lutes, return with a short programme of music, for solo lute and songs. Music by Thomas Campion,, Morley and many others. Come and hear them, you wont regret it.
4.00 pm Sunday 20th November. Cannington Parish Church. admission £8.00 students and children free. Tea and home made cake for all!
