Last Ensemble before Social Distancing 2020
By Chuck Smythe
As you know from my several posts about the Seicento Baroque Ensemble of Boulder, Colorado (most recently on January 12, 2015), I concertize with that ensemble, singing tenor. When we began “social distancing,” we had to take some time off from making music together. However, as Amanda, our artistic director, informed us by recorded statement, “While we cannot gather together in the concert hall, we can still share our love of music.” Here is a sample from the concert we recorded in an empty church prior to social distancing, two settings of “By the Waters of Babylon,” by Baroque composers Franz Tunder (North Germany) and Salamone Rossi (Northern Italy) [7:46]:

Thank you for singing, Chuck, and for bringing the song to us.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Morris. Not much of an audience, it seems...in Early Music you get used to that.
