I’m in awe of this concert by Jordi Savall in Italy. The music is French, including something by Marin Marais by English composer Tobias Hume. And I’ll shut up now.
UPDATE: There are three pieces by Hume.
- I don’t know the title of the first one.
- “Deth” (2:54).
- “A Soldier”s Resolution” (4:55), with several section headings that the performer is supposed to read aloud, as Savall does here. The sections evoke marching, the sound of trumpets, the charge, and the “march away.”
I hope your head’s feeling better, Rob!

Good show. I’m delighted to see someone else showcasing Baroque music using YouTube video too. I try to post something like this every few postings, usually introducing a particular composer or genre of music.
I also present a few works from earlier music too. The Renaissance and Middle Ages have given us so much to listen to.
