Saturday, December 17, 2009 Saturday, January 17th 2009 Join Owain Phyfe of the New World Renaissance Band & KIVA To celebrate Inauguration Weekend and a NEW YEAR! Come be enraptured by the beautiful voice of Owain Phyfe (along with members of KIVA) in multiple languages of music of old! Owain has been a HIT of many Renaissance Festivals around the country including our Maryland Renaissance Festival. His music and voice enchant and his humor and wit draw the audience in to laugh, sing and enjoy his unique and totally entertaining style of performance. KIVA will also be performing our winter songs and some favorites for your dancing, singing and listening pleasure. Click here for KIVA's website www.kivasong.com More about Owain Phyfe Excerpt from Renaissance Magazine. Vocalist, instrumentalist, and composer, Owain Phyfe grew up in a bilingual family where Welsh was a second language. Nourished by his grandparent's appreciation for song, Phyfe's study of languages in college and his travels abroad to England, France, and Spain as well as his experience later as a musician in New York City's Greenwich Village led to the kindling of his own Renaissance spirit. Phyfe believes that good renaissance music and lyrics imbues its listener with the knowledge that humanity should exist in freedom, that virtue is worth pursuing, happiness is not to be sacrificed, and that life is an adventure worth living. Through his music, Phyfe endeavors to contribute to humanity these ancient values he cherishes so greatly. Although Phyfe considers the re-creation of period music as an homage to the era, the Band does not perform their music exactly as it was historically played. Rather, they use modern performance practices because, according to Phyfe, early music played in a scholarly fashion does not "press the same buttons" with modern audiences than it would have to audiences of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Purely as an esthetic choice, the Band emphasizes bass in their recordings; and where lyrics would have been historically sung with an Italian or French flavor, Phyfe's songs have a distinctly American folk flavor.
