Sounds Baroque

Saturday 3rd October 2026
in Holy Ascension Church, Oddington, Gloucestershire at 4 pm.

This mostly baroque programme brings familiar melodies to Cotswold audiences sung by the ‘soaring crystal clear soprano voice’ of former BBC Singer Lesley-Jane Rogers who now lives in Bourton-on-the-Water, and an ensemble of accomplished musicians.

Lesser known is the composer of Danserye for recorder and harpsichord by the Englishman Thomas Pitfield(1903-99), whose fine craftsmanship blends perfectly with the older masters.

Purcell Music for a While and other songs

Pepusch Cantata Where love’s soft passion

Thomas Pitfield Danserye

Handel Cantata Nel dolce dell’oblio (In sleep sweet oblivion)
