Guy's Gallimaufry - aka Music; The Food of Love - Part 2

Guy Woolfenden is another well respected english composer with a long history of creating wonderful music for a myriad of ensembles but his specialty is in theatre music - in particular, theatre music associated with Shakespeare. He as written for the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Comedie-Francaise, the Burgtheater, the Teatro Stabile and the Norwegian National Theatre.

The Woolfenden work that the we will present this weekend is Gallimaufry and is, as is quoted in The Winter's Tale, "a hotch potch made up of all the scraps of the larder." It is a collection of music that has been used in the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Henry the IV in 1982. As one would expect, it is full of scenic imagery including the pomp of royalty to an all out tavern brawl.

So, join King Henry and Falstaff and other Shakespearean favourites in PSWE's musical celebration of the world of the Bard at the Evergreen Cultural Centre on February 21st at 8pm Tickets are available on line or at the Evergreen Cultural Centre Box Office.
