SUMMARY:Lessons for a King - virtual premiere
DESCRIPTION:\nSilentwoods showcases the innovation and virtuosity that flou
 rished in the middle years of France's ancien régime. French composers of
  the late 17th and early 18th centuries—and their English counterparts a
 cross the Channel—addressed the crushing authority and repression of the
 ir time through music. These humble and most obedient musical servants (as
  they were obliged to designate themselves on their publications’ title 
 pages) wove cautionary tales and reflection into their work\, implicitly r
 eminding rulers of their own fragility\, moral responsibility\, and tempor
 al existence. The works of Clérambault\, Rameau\, Rebel\, Barriere\, Purc
 ell\, and Locke draw on mythology and rhetoric to navigate an environment 
 of social hegemony. Hidden within these gorgeous pieces\, we find cryptic 
 warnings to rulers on the dangers of hubris and greed\, as well as message
 s of hope that humanity will triumph over cruelty.\n\n\nSilentwoods Collec
