‘Music from the English Provinces’
Sunday 23rd February 2025 – St John’s Church, Totnes, 4pm
Handel’s music, excellent though it is, is not the only way to put English music on the 18th-century map. So here are a number of fine composers making their music outside London: Mudge (Birmingham), Avison (Newcastle) and Hellendaal (Cambridge), each with their individual sound. The outlier is Walter Leigh, a 20th-century voice from London, whose delightful music owes much to the style of the 18th century.
G. F. Handel Concerto Grosso op. 6 no. 11 in A major
Richard Mudge Concerto no. 2 in D minor
Walter Leigh Concertino for harpsichord and strings
Pieter Hellendaal Concerto no. 2 in D minor
D. Scarlatti Two Sonatas for harpsichord K.31 and K.9
Charles Avison Concerto no. 9 in C after D. Scarlatti
