FiRST MUSEUM CONCERT: The MUSEUM OF COPENHAGEN 27 April 2008
incl.
1 HOUR "Introduction to concert " with
the author Mike Harris (Wales) and Ensemble Music for the Mysteries:
In the composition "The Seven Natures" Hanne Tofte Jespersen has set a portion of a Celtic ritual manuscript in music together with an extract of the Creation myth according to Enoch. The Celtic script is by the author Mike Harris (Wales) who was special guest at the programme in the Museum of Copenhagen.
During the introduction Mike Harris told about Enoch and the connections between Judaic and Celtic mythologies - interchanging with the musicians playing extracts of "The Seven Natures".
A question from the audience made Mike Harris retell the myth of how Gwion becomes the bard Taliesin through dipping his fingers into the cauldron of Ceridwen, the Goddess, literally licking the drops of Awen (Celtic for "divine inspiration").
Music for the Mysteries performs Anders Hvidberg's instrumental suite The Swords
The concert was supported by The Music Council of Copenhagen and The Soloists' Association of 1921.
Mike Harris' visit to DK was organised in collaboration with the Tarot Festival.
