Early Delights

thu 20 jan 2022 20:00 hrs

A Sunday hour with early music goodies.

In the Early days most composers were employed by a church, by a municipal government or by a sovereign. Though there were also sovereigns who were quite good composers themselves. Today we present works by four of those sovereigns.
