Sunday, November 23 @ 3pm 
Longy School of Music, Cambridge

Songs and Vocal Chamber
Music by Benjamin Britten

Cantata Singers Chamber Series
Allison Voth, Music Director

The British Isles’ long line of great poets,
writers and playwrights inspired an equally
great line of song writers, but Britten’s
star shines particularly brightly among this
group.  For Britten, a beautiful melody
and pleasing accompaniment were
never enough - words and music
became inseparable as he lifted text
setting to a level never before heard.
