Music Inspired by Fear of Illness in the Pre-Anaesthetic Era
Old Operating Theatre Museum
9A St Thomas Street, London SE1 9RY
Tickets: £20.00
Description:
This experience will be divided into two parts: First, there will be a short
overview by Dr Nick Newton of the fear of illness and impending surgery
on individuals in the 17th & 18th Century, followed by an introductory
talk from Dr Tim Smith, focusing on the aetiology and management of bladder
stones in the pre-anaesthetic era.
These brief introductions will set the scene for a concert by the Royal Baroque Ensemble, under the direction of Katarzyna Kowalik, of music composed by Marin, Lully, Froberger, Couperin and Zelenka reflecting the patient's anxieties concerning illness, surgery without anaesthesia and the close encounters with imminent or untimely death. Part of the programme will be the legendary 'Tableau de l'opération de la taille' by Marais - a musical depiction of the stages of an operation for removing a urinary bladder.

REBEL REBEL
Handel House Museum, London
Jean-Féry Rebel (1666 – 1747) was an innovative French Baroque
composer, violinist, harpsichordist and conductor. He was a real rebel of
his time as many of his compositions
are quite original, based on complex counter-rhythms and audacious harmonies
they were not fully appreciated by listeners of his time and may still sound
shocking nowadays. Royal Baroque make their Handel House debut with an exquisite
programme of music by this revolutionary
composer.
