Please join us on Sunday, March 4 at 2pm, for “Love, Lust, Longing… Loss – an Elizabethan Romp” at the Bayport-Blue Point Public Library!

“Love, Lust, Longing… Loss” has proven popular with audiences of all kinds, from those who know every John Dowland song by heart to those who have yet to dip a toe into this amazing repertoire. You will come away with a sense of the richness and range of popular music during the Renaissance – from bawdy tales of soldiers and wenches to heartfelt love songs to tongue-in-cheek lovelorn laments and political satires. This performance will surprise lute song enthusiasts with fresh interpretations of more “well-traveled” songs, and delight them with rarely-performed gems.

We’ll be reprising the Good Pennyworths’ first concert program with soprano Laura Campbell, mezzo Kirsten Kane and tenor Timothy Joyce, with baritone Garald Farnham on lutes.  Details can be found on our Dates page and on the Library’s homepage.

If you have an iTunes account, please go to iTunes and give our album, “Love Lust Longing Loss” and the two iMixes on our page 5-star ratings! We need as many 5-star ratings as possible to help our music start to appear on other artists’ pages in the “If you like this, you might like…” section. This will really help our visibility and sales! If you’ve heard the album (you can listen on our Music page), you can add a review, too!

You can also do the same on cdbaby.com, amazon.com, rhapsody and digstation.com. If you download, digstation is our favorite site because they don’t take a cut of our sales. Every penny goes right back into the organization!

Our new album “Love! Lust! Longing… Loss – An Elizabethan Romp” is now available! Just in time for Holiday gift giving. You may download it right now for $9.99 at www.DigStation.com/TheGoodPennyworths.  (We like DigStation — we keep 100% of the proceeds, which is very helpful for a not-for-profit organization like ours!) The CD features ballads and lute songs from our popular concert of the same name, with selections by John Dowland, Thomas Campion, Philip Rosseter, Thomas Morley and many other Elizabethan-era composers. We’ll be selling CDs after our holiday concert on Dec. 19th, of course. CDs and downloads are also available on iTunes, Amazon, cdbaby.com, and other online music retailers. All net proceeds from the sales of CDs go directly back into the organization to support new concerts and touring initiatives. Buy one for yourself and one for a friend!
