Notes
The 'live oak' is an evergreen oak known for it's strength and long life. It has been a symbol of revitalization since ancient times. Duo LiveOak (Nancy Knowles, soprano and Frank Wallace, guitarist/baritone/composer) performs the great song repertoire from the middle ages to contemporary, accompanied by the guitar and it's ancestors. In concert, LiveOak is known for it's versatility, grace, and spontaneity. They sing and play with passion and drama, combining rich vocal harmonies, virtuosic playing, and acting skills to create performances that transcend the standard recital format. LiveOak made it's name in medieval and renaissance music in the 1980s and early 90s, but in the last decade Frank Wallace has become a formidable composer of music for solo classical guitar, and most recently, of songs with either guitar or lute accompaniment, often with Knowles' poetry for text. This body of new work, contemporary in style, but with echoes of ancient music, is now a major feature of the Duo's performances. Both as a duo and as members of the early music ensemble LiveOak and Company, Wallace and Knowles have toured widely throughout the U.S. and Europe since 1976, performing at festivals such as the Holland Festival, the Regensburg Festival, Música en Compostela, and the Boston Early Music Festival, and the Barcelona Festival. LiveOak was a member of the New England Touring Program roster for many years and is now on the New Hampshire Touring Program. Although their main focus has shifted in recent years to duo work, Knowles and Wallace still occasionally perform with other colleagues (Mary Graham, harpist; Jane Hershey, violplayer; Grant Herreid, lutenist/winds/tenor, Steven Yakutis, actor/baritone, and others) as LiveOak and Company. LiveOak has recorded for Titanic, Centaur, Musical Heritage Society, and most recently, Gyre [link to Gyre homepage]. Frank Wallace won the coveted Artist Fellowship Award of the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts for his playing and composing on his new solo guitar CD, Frank Wallace: his own new works (Gyre 10012). In July of 2001 Duo LiveOak released their first CD of 19th century repertoire with historical guitars, Schubert and Mertz (Gyre 10022). Four more duo and solo CDs are in the final stages of editing and production to be released 20021 and 2003. Their first recording was the self-produced quintet recording LiveOak Live in 1978, followed by two trio LPs of Spanish music of the 12-16th centuries on Titanic Records in the early 80's. Their first CD, The Lost Spindle: Theatrical Music from the Courts of Ferdinand and Isabella was released on Titanic in 1989 and again on Musical Heritage Society in 1994. Three more CDs (solo, duo, quartet) came out on Centaur Records in the 90's. In 1979, with a desire to experience medieval music in a medieval acoustic, Trio LiveOak (the late John Fleagle, Nancy Knowles, and Frank Walllace) established their international reputation with in a most unusual manner, by following the ancient pilgrimage routes on foot over the Pyrenees mountains from the French border to Montserrat (near Barcelona). For four weeks the trio trekked through the mountains and villages of the province of Catalunya with a few instruments on their backs and enough vocal power to fill the gorgeous romanesque churches that grace every village and hilltop. [link to articles] Always greeted with amazement and enthusiasm, the trio returned a month later to follow their route by train and car in a formal concert series. The tour ended with a packed Santa Agatha church in the barri gotic of Barcelona. In the 1980's, with singer/actor Steven Yakutis, and also with singer/multi-instrumentalist Grant Herreid, LiveOak and Company did wonderful original work putting renaissance songs into a dramatic framework in fully staged dramatic productions such as The Lost Spindle. The very popular result, inspired by commedia dell'arte, combined humor and pathos, music and slapstick, in a plot

- i***m (85)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe clarity of this VHS tape is superb. The seller packaged the tape securely. Not expecting Tracking to show sender as Stamps dot com, I had a couple minutes of worry as I was unaware that the USPS would make that reference. Looked it up, and saw the purpose of that site. Had me going there at first. The VHS tape is of superior quality in audio and color. It is great to be able to trust an eBay seller, and the cost worked for me. Thank you.
