Dhrupad Fantasia - Part 2: Afternoon, Evening and Night
The second part of a concert from the York Early Music Festival - an imaginary meeting of Elizabethan consort music and Hindustani Dhrupad from the court of Akbar the Great.
Hannah French presents the second half of a concert from the York Early Music Festival - an imaginary meeting of Elizabethan consort music and Hindustani Dhrupad from the court of Akbar the Great.
This concert, given at the National Centre for Early Music as part of this year's York International Early Music Festival features the Belgium-based ensemble - the Hathor Consort, alongside Hindustani vocalist Uday Bhawalkar and jori player Jasdeep Singh.
"Dhrupad Fantasia" is the imagination of creating a wondrous fancie, a visionary idea or illusion to bring together raga-based improvisations over the idea of polyphonic instrumental music, both rooted in the art music of the 16th Century. This second half focuses on music associated with the afternoon, evening and night-time.
The programme also includes interviews with cultural historian Nima Poovaya-Smith and poems read by actor Art Malik.
