Love To My Liking
album release concert
APRIL 13, 2024 // Brooklyn Public Library @ 4:00 pm // Brooklyn, NY
LOVE TO MY LIKING is a very special album release concert, in which Alkemie performs 13th-century songs, dances, and motets, some of which have never before been recorded. Like the troubadours in the South, the trouvères of Northern France wrote some of the most captivating vocal music of the 13th century. Their songs of public and private adoration wove together allusions both sacred and secular—creating mystical and spicy meditations on love and longing, punctuated by repeating refrains that recur across songs and texts.
