OPENING CONCERT: ANATOMY OF MELANCHOLY
Anatomy of Melancholy, the 1621 opus by English scholar and vicar of Oxford Robert Burton, is considered as great a work of literature as it is of medicine and philosophy. David Klausner of the University of Toronto’Äôs Centre for Medieval Studies and Department of English (www.chass.utoronto.ca/~klausner/) reads from the venerable work in The Musicians in Ordinary’Äôs opening concert on October 10. The musicians intertwine the readings with songs by the famed John Dowland (1563-1626), portraying suffers of that disease. With Edwards on Renaissance lute, Fishel sings of crazy lovers who care not about the weather, irrational shepherds ardently wooing nymphs, as well as the sadder sighers.
Copies of MIO’Äôs CD, Sleep, Wayward Thoughts, featuring the music of Dowland and other composers of Elizabethan and Jacobean England, will be available for sale.
