Grammy-nominated American countertenor Reginald Mobley invites you on a musical journey spanning English Baroque music and American ballads, accompanied by theorbo, guitar, and viola da gamba.
Solitude
English Songs and American Ballads
Performers:
- Reginald Mobley – countertenor
- Brandon Acker – theorbo and guitar
- Doug Balliett – viola da gamba
This new program by Reginald Mobley perfectly illustrates the art of setting words to music, ranging from English songs by Dowland and Purcell to popular American ballads from the late 19th century. Though still relatively unknown on European stages, the American countertenor opens the door to a fascinating world that takes us from Elizabethan England to the present day.
Rarely have Henry Purcell’s hits "Music for a While" and "O Solitude"—or John Dowland’s "Sorrow Stay"—received such a sensitive and dreamlike interpretation.
A musical pioneer and champion of diversity, Reginald Mobley places great importance on reviving the work of composers such as Justin Holland (1819–1887), who played a significant role in the civil rights movement and profoundly influenced the development of art music in his country. His works stand as a remarkable synthesis of European scores and the melodies sung across the vast plains of the New World.
