Songs of Love and Marriage
Benjamin Thorn
Wayne Madden (spinet/percussion) and well-known Australian composer/recorder player Benjamin Thorn present a journey through 600 years of music on the theme of love. You'll find rarely heard works by Barbara Strozzi and Francesca Caccini as well as the more familiar music of Telemann and Ortiz. Thorn's own arrangements and compositions are interspersed to give a more contemporary angle on a timeless subject.
" Press quotes:
“There is no doubting the talent of Benjamin Thorn ... and, on the evidence of the pure music he has contributed to this exploration of songs of love and marriange spanning six centuries, he is capable of creating tunes of high quality.”
— Bob Crimeen, Sunday Herald Sun Audio preview:
