Psalmody workshop
Psalmody workshop
Join David Owen Norris and enjoy a colourful afternoon recreating - or just listening to - the sounds of country churches 200 years ago.
Psalmody also known as West Gallery Music after the spaces where choirs would perform it from, is the music described by Thomas Hardy in many of his novels. Simple to perform, it is written for various combinations of singers and instruments. There are many amateur 'Quires' devoted to it who often dress in period costume.
This afternoon's event is also an opportunity to view the University of Southampton's psalmody collection. Housed in the Hartley Library, the collection was recently expanded with the acquisition of the Rollo Woods bequest of manuscripts and working papers named after the renowned folk musician and music researcher.
