Looped Local Roads
THREE TRAPPED TIGERS:
David Barnett and Tom Bickley, recorders
The recorder duo, Three Trapped Tigers (Thomas Bickley and David Barnett) present Looped Local Roads, an afternoon of pre-modern music for post modern ears and vice versa. The repertory includes familiar and surprising early music and newer music, all prepared to engage and delight you. The program will include favourites from the trecento Italian repertory (Landini et al), canzonas by Thomas Morley,) alongside solos, duos and trios form the 20th and 21st centuries by Frans Geysen, Alun Hoddinot, Will Eisma, Jens Margraff, Jim Wilson and Tom Bickley. TTT will be joined for this performace by guest Tiger, Greta Haug-Hryciw for a performance of Lou Harrison’s Serenade for 3 Recorders (1943), and the Landini set. Ms. Haug-Hryciw has joined TTT for past performances, most notably John Cage’s 3 for Three Recorders and we are delighted to be collaborating with her again.
The instruments for this performance range from sopranino to bass recorders, modern designs by Tarasov and Helder, and historic designs after medieval, renaissance and baroque originals by Tom Prescott, Bob Marvin and Von Heune. Each set of instruments brings their own colours and pitch centers to transport us musically in and out of our own time and place to worlds that cohere across time and space.
