Early music performance in Cincinnati, English Renaissance music, Music of Shakespeare's Time, Renaissance lute, Medieval lute, Baroque lute, Vihuela, Medieval Citole, Rebec and Vielle, Baroque Guitar and Hurdy Gurdy. We present a popular program of Music From the Time of Shakespeare. Shakespeare used many different songs and musical instrument references in his plays. The folk song and ballad tunes in his plays were equally well known by both the groundlings and the more distinguished patrons. Bits of these songs were used to create jokes in the plays, to create mood, and to evoke certain emotions as well. A favourite device of Shakespeare was to turn the lyrics of a popular song into a bantering dialogue between characters. Now you can hear this music as Shakespeare's audience would have heard it, performed on historical instruments of the time! Spanish Sephardic Music from the 14th - 17th centuries. The Noyse Merchants also offers a program highlighting the astonishing musical wealth of Sephardic music, music carried from Spain (after the expulsion of the Moors and Jews in 1492) to the Ottoman Empire and to North Africa. The Sephardic sound is medieval with distinct modes - the melancholic sounds that immediately remind us of Spanish, Hebrew, and Gypsy music. Since Sephardic music has its roots in the musical traditions of medieval Spain, we thought it appropriate to perform it on early instruments. The addition of the violin and chalumeaux (early clarinet) reflects the fact that Sephardic music has adopted the rhythms and tone colors of the various countries where the Sephardim settled.See our History of performances.Our Early Music group The Noyse Merchants plays Medieval and Renaissance music as well as music from the early Baroque. We play music from the 12th through the 17th centuries on historical musical instruments. Music from the Middle Ages, the Crusades, music from early Ireland, Scotland and England--essentially popular music from previous centuries.
