SUMMARY:Volunteer Fundraiser: Songs without Words - musically-illustrated t
 alk
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]St Nicholas Priory’s volun
 teer team invites you warmly to support their fundraiser!\n\n A musically
  illustrated talk by Alan Hoyle\nIn Europe\, between around 1500 and 1620\
 , there was a huge amount of music (somewhere in the region of 8\,000 piec
 es survive) composed and available for the renaissance lute– nearly all 
 of it intended for domestic enjoyment in a growing market of a rapidly gro
 wing mercantile class in their city houses and\, in England from about 154
 0 onwards\, former religious residences like St Nicholas’ Priory.  Ther
 e were dance suites and contemplative fantasias\, but the largest genre wa
 s "intabulations": that is\, instrumental versions of vocal music\, sacred
  or profane.\nAlan Hoyle\, in his musically-illustrated talk\, will attemp
 t to breathe a little life in a genre that would have been familiar to\, a
 mongst other people\, the Tudor residents of Exeter’s former priory.\n\n
 St Nicholas Priory: Founded by William the Conqueror in 1087\, St Nicholas
  Priory was home to Benedictine monks for over 400 years and is the oldest
  building in Exeter. In 1536\, like other monasteries\, it was closed and 
 the remains became the home of wealthy Tudor merchants.\n\nDirections: St 
 Nicholas Priory is in Mint Lane with walking access from Fore Street or Ba
 rtholomew Street West.\nThe nearest car park is Mary Arches Street (5 mins
 ). Parking at Smythen Street and Harlequin Shopping Centre is also availab
 le. Exeter Central railway station (10 mins). The bus station is a 15-minu
 te walk away with many buses stopping on the High Street (1o mins).\n\nAcc
 ess: Unfortunately\, only the ground floor of our building is wheelchair-a
 ccessible.\n\nFacilities: Accessible loos and nappy-changing facilities.\n
