Voices (finally) Appeared
Back in June of last year I wrote in this blog about a forthcoming project, specifically a live soundtrack of music to accompany screenings of Carl Theodor Dreyer’s 1928 movie, La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc. The performing ensemble is The Orlando Consort, with whom I have sung since it was formed in 1988. I promised back in June to chart the progress of designing the soundtrack, a task that fell to me, but it’s been so time-consuming and so demanding that I don’t really feel I’ve had the time to sit down and report. I’ll try to remedy that in the coming months, sharing here some of the thoughts and preoccupations that it’s prompted. In the meantime – and if you’re interested – you might want to have a look at The Orlando Consort webpage where you will find details of past and forthcoming performances.
