 The Lady Fortune

TENETVA6.jpg

2023-2024 Season

Life at the hands of the mighty goddess Fortune…

Fortune and her wheel brought a wealth of music and art centered around the constant life changes that occur at the hands of the mighty goddess. Countless songs and ballads were dedicated to life’s twists and turns by medieval composers, and stories of Fortune’s whimsical power extend beyond the middle ages and take hold in art and music. TENET will perform odes and laments created in honor of Fortune: Machaut’s “Ha Fortune”, “O Fallaze e ria fortuna” by Robertus de Anglia, “Fortune Plango Vulnera” and “O Varium Fortune” from Carmina Burana, and “Tribum que non abhorruit” by Philippe de Vitry.
