Programme Note
World-renowned for its musical accomplishments, King Christian’s court in early 17th-century Copenhagen was a lodestone for composers and virtuosi across Europe, including John Dowland, Tobias Hume, Irish harpist Cormacke Mcdermid, Praetorius and Scheidt. Rose Tremain’s bestselling novel Music & Silence is set at roughly the same time in Denmark and centres around the King’s musical establishment as well as the colourful life of his court.
