About An Early American Quilt
Review Engaging stage presence, backed by programs put together with exceptional imagination and irresistible! --The Washington Post An argument could be made that Hesperus, in addition to being an award-winning early music ensemble, is in the travel business, transporting listeners across time zones that reach into the distant past. Well known for making delightfully evocative use of period instruments, Hesperus deftly conjures another time and place time and again, resurrecting Celtic hornpipes, jigs and odes, English country dances and French cotillions along the way. Not all the music is imported. Shape note hymns, played on recorders, point to the birth of a genuinely American genre and create a harmonically tart and resonant interlude. As for the common thread running though this musical quilt, it's easy enough to spot, thanks to the finely honed artistry and rapport consistently displayed by Tina Chancey (fiddle, viola da gamba and recorder), Scott Reiss (recorders and pennywhistle) and Grant Herried (lute, guitar, theorbo and recorder). --The Washington Post "Hesperus is a cutting-edge consort. The performers are consummate musicianswith unqualified command of their instruments who give us a performance thatis thrilling from beginning to end." --American Recorder Magazine An argument could be made that Hesperus, in addition to being an award-winning early music ensemble, is in the travel business, transporting listeners across time zones that reach into the distant past.
