The Musician

Music in leisure time.
Attention early music lovers: the Early Music Festival starts next week in Utrecht. The festival is a source of inspiration for amateur choirs because a lot of ancient composers are being rediscovered. Early music by Portuguese or Spanish composers was not performed here until recently. Now the Portuguese Duarte Lôbo and Manuel Cardoso or the Spanish Alonso Lobo are programmed more often. Those three composers from the late Renaissance meet each other in a recording of vocal ensemble Multiple Voice. After that, music for amateurs from the late Renaissance and Baroque: music for Catholics and Protestants in churches and monasteries in light of various reformations.
