Phantasticke Spirites

Inspired by the bawdy and joyous spirit of English madrigals, Harmonious Blacksmith improvises
and ornaments the music of Byrd, Morley, and their contemporaries. Named after Thomas
Weelkes' fourth book of madrigals, this program also draws from the keyboard music in the
Fitzwilliam Virginal Book.
This concert is free and open to the public
