20 April
A little response, by Tweet, to the worlds within the programme that Arcangelo (@ArcangeloTeam) brought to Saffron Hall (@SaffronHallSW) on Sunday 19 April at 7.30 p.m.
On a technical, performance level, there is so much being said
At @yorkearlymusic, @ArcangeloTeam @SaffronHallSW ? Great wonder in these suspensions, dissonances, closes, bounded / unbounded emotions !

Palettes of textures, sound-worlds, vocal contrasts are givens, but @ArcangeloTeam runs the gamut from infectious joy to affect-less lulls !

Concerts as places where we can learn to listen – to living music
Not talking above its head, with techniques, theorbos, Jonathan Cohen helped an audience at @SaffronHallSW listen to @ArcangeloTeam better.

The English word 'madrigals' could just sound like 'a drag' - but *madrigale*, with a gesture and gusto, soars, sings - as @ArcangeloTeam !

Why this music matters to us
Monteverdi's music matters, @SaffronHallSW, as communicated by, and within, @ArcangeloTeam, because its humanity is our own - our joys, pain

With male @ArcangeloTeam singers on the @SaffronHallSW balcony, it made head sense (San Marco), but only 'sound sense' later Context is all
