The teares or lamentations of a sorrowful soul
Sunday, 1/19/25, 2 PM, MT
Poet Sir William Leighton published a book of his own devotional verse with this expressive title; many English composers of his day provided music for his poems accompanied by "broken" or mixed consort. The collection also includes some of the last works of William Byrd. Denver RS Director Jennifer Carpenter will lead you in exploring expressive sacred music in this collection by Byrd, Dowland, and others.
Gems from the ARS Members Library
Sunday, 2/16/25, 2 PM, MT
Guest Director Jon Casbon will lead the Denver Recorder Society in selections from the popular collection of commissioned works for the recorder from the American Recorder Society.
In Flight
Sunday, 3/16/25, 2 PM, MT
Spring is approaching, the birds are returning, and it's Play-the-Recorder month centered on a piece about birds - Flight Games! We'll celebrate music that evokes fanciful depictions of various birds, birdcalls, and songs about love birds. Recorders are some of the best instruments to depict birds, so join DRS Director Jennifer Carpenter for an afternoon of cuckus, warbles, and witty madrigals.
Awakenings
Sunday, 4/6/25, 2 PM, MT
Join Denver RS Director Jennifer Carpenter for a program filled with awakenings. Experience music that reflects seasonal shifts to enliven our spirits, and witness the mystiques of dawn that stir our affections.
