Early music is such a passion of mine, and next week I join with two fellow Guildhall alumni for a performance-demonstration of medieval and folk music. My colleagues are experts on recorders and fiddles – just the ticket for a medieval concert. But what did trumpets get to play in the medieval times other than a crude blast here and there? Not much! That’s why I’ll be bringing out a little more than just a trumpet for this one. Naturally, lots of singing will take place, but I also promise the special surprise of my re-learned cornett – wish me all the luck!
