At present the choir has 34 members. The group’s repertoire is very eclectic: from spirituals to sacred polyphony, from pop music to regional and international folk songs. The Ensemble has performed in many beautiful churches and other landmarks in Rome and in Central Italy, with concerts in the most important concert halls in the capital city and festivals in many wonderful villas and palaces scattered around the countryside near Rome. In 2007 and 2009 the choir participated with great enthusiasm in the International Choir Festival in Val Pusteria. In the 2010 regional choir contest at Formello the choir came first in the pop category and second in the category for choral music from the 20th and 21st centuries. The choir also won a special prize for having given the best performance of the whole contest. In 2011 the choir participated in the international cho...    less

They have been featured on BBC Radio 3’s ‘In Tune’ and ‘The Early Music Show.’ The members of the 1607 Ensemble hail from Britain, Canada, and the US, and their diverse musical backgrounds and affinity for a variety of musical styles are evident in their music. Equally at home singing Renaissance music and jazz, they also write their own compositions and arrangements, often combining old and new styles in music tailored to their unique vocal colours. One of the Ensemble’s long-time interests has been the poetry of Clément Marot in 16th-century chanson. Drawn to the poet’s fantastically varied output, they have recently recorded settings of his psalm translations, prayers, courtly poetry, and vulgar comic verse for their first commercial recording, Amour et Foy: Songs of Love and Songs ...    less

"Qui, dist Alix, bon remede il y a". Lors le pourceau à sa jambe lya. Et Martin juche qui lourdement engaine. Le porc eut peur et Alix s'escria : "Serre Martin, nostre pourceau m'entraine". Translation: Martin was taking his pig to market With Alice, who, as they crossed the plain, Invited Martin to sin with her, One on top of the other, and Martin asked, "But who will hold on to our pig, you saucy girl?" "Who indeed," said Alice, "I know what to do. Once she had tied the pig to her leg, And Martin was heavily grunting away, The pig took fright, and Alice cried out, "Hold on tight, Martin, our pig is dragging me away!"  less
