This brand new program of spooky music for the Hallowmas season depicts ghost encounters, witches’ dances, mad songs, fantastic beasts and more.

Pilgrims' Progress Lecture-Concert
Seven Times Salt: Karen Burciaga, violin, guitar, voice; Dan Meyers, recorder, flute, bagpipes, percussion, voice; Josh Schreiber Shalem, bass viol, voice; Matthew Wright, lute, cittern, bandora, voice; with Barbara Allen Hill, soprano & percussion
Seven Times Salt presents "Pilgrims' Progress" at the American Musicological Society's Annual Meeting, this year held in our hometown of Boston. In our AMS lecture-concert, we'll look at the process of creating a compelling concert program around a historical topic for which very little musical evidence exists. We'll explain how we pieced together a musical narrative for the Plimoth settlers for the period 1590-1650 drawing on works by Dowland, Morley, van Eyck, and Campion, collections of catches and part songs published in England and the Netherlands, songs from the Elizabethan theater captured in Shakespeare’s plays, traditional English country dance tunes, and our original setting of a text by Thomas Morton of Merrymount--along with a healthy dose of imagination. We'll perform musical examples along the way, and we may even ask you to sing along!
4pm - Westin Waterfront, 425 Summer St. Boston, MA
Open to registered attendees. Single-day registration is available for non-AMS members.
