Bawdy Songs and Fythel Tunes
Our program features a program of Bawdy Songs and Fythel Tunes including Hit her on the Bum by Robert Bremner (1713-1789) and Watkins Ale, an anonymous work from an English Broadside.
Robert Bremner was a Scottish violinist and composer who wrote sonatas and variations based on popular tunes of this day. Watkins Ale comes from an old English broadside, which was sort of a newspaper in its day. It is a cautionary tale for young women with a moral at the end.
This performance by Ars Antigua directed by Jerry Fuller, features Nancy Bristol, soprano.
