Winchester, a location where our Scottish Folk Band can playTowns, cities and regions have an influence on the style of music, whether it is the 'English Countryside' feel of Vaughan Williams, the strength of Elgar's Victorian Malvern, or the skirl of Northumbrian Pipe tune. Of Winchester, has been said:- " Winchester in Hampshire is one of the most beautiful towns in Southern England. The view from St Giles' Hill has a mouth-watering sweep of the Cathedral, and many of the Medieval and Georgian buildings that have remained largely untouched until the present day. Winchester is the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Wessex. This is not a unique feature, many Saxon towns can often be described as 'capitals' because of the peripatetic nature of Saxon Kings. What is unique is that by the late 9th century Winchester became the main city in King Alfred's kingdom, and the street plans that can still be drawn today are attributed to Alfred's plans. " A genuine peasant melody of our land is a musical example of perfected art. I consider it quite as much of a masterpiece—in miniature—as a Bach fugue or Mozart sonata is a masterpiece in the larger forms. ~ Bela Bartok CLICK HERE [Scottish Folk Bands in Winchester for your wedding] [About Scottish Folk Bands] [Ensembles in Winchester wedding music repertoire] [About Winchester] [About music in Winchester] [About Wedding Venues] [About Wedding Ceremonies registrars, ministers and music] [About other kinds of music such as jazz or folk] [Frequently Asked Questions FAQs] [Ensembles1] [Ensembles2] [Ensembles3] [Ensembles4] [Links] [Home Page] |
