A Journey to the Orient
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
It’s the fourth weekend here in the village of Kegsworthy and we continue our trip around the world
with a visit to the Far East. In the 13th century Marco Polo opened up new trade routes to far eastern
lands, known as the Silk Road, introducing Europeans to the sights, sounds and people of these distant
exotic cultures. Throughout the renaissance explorers and merchants developed complex relationships
with these newly discovered lands. Keep your eyes open for village and court characters wearing the
lovely fashions of the Orient.
March is Early Music Month
Special events, workshops, festivals and concerts are found throughout the county.
During the European “Dark Ages”, music was primarily religious in nature, as you would only raise your
voice in song to praise God. Music was a dedicated prayer. The Renaissance marks a defining line in
musical history. Music begins to be played for pleasure and secular pursuits. In the Royal Courts of Europe
elaborate dances and theatricals featured complex compositions and every room in royal palaces had a
musician providing background music to daily life.
“Early Music” encompasses Renaissance, Jacobean and
Baroque styles spanning 2 centuries of music for pleasure.
Early Music America is a non-profit organization serving and strengthening
the early music community in North America and raising public awareness of
early music. They sponsor or support a variety of outreach programs and
acknowledge events of noteworthy contributions to the arts and education.
For more information visit: www.earlymusicamerica.org
The Florida Renaissance Festival is listed as a
prime example of the early music of the Renaissance.
The PHYFE AND FIDDLE STAGE is our music pavilion dedicated to early music artists. Featuring
The Harper and the Minstrel, Hooligan, Martyn Wylde, Cantiga and the Morning Consort, these performers have recorded dozens of albums, hold the highest honors and enjoy sterling international reputations. In the chaotic frenzy of a typical festival day, take a little time to explore the Phyfe and Fiddle
Stage and experience the sublime serenity and gentle good humour to be found there.
