Synergy Series: Ceremony and Battle
Synergy Series
Discover the connections between art and music in this major new partnership with Orpheus Sinfonia.
Through five intimate performances filmed within the splendour of Hertford House, we invite you to explore the styles, forms and compositions that unite music – performed live in our galleries during lockdown – with paintings, decorative arts, and arms and armour.
With concise introductions from Wallace Collection Director, Dr Xavier Bray, alongside Orpheus Sinfonia’s Artistic team, Thomas Carroll and Rosemary Taylor, each premier broadcast features Orpheus Sinfonia musicians performing a specially-selected repertoire that brings the synergy of art and music into focus.
Ceremony and Battle - Originally broadcast 18.00 BST 18 April 2021
Hertford House is home to one of the world’s finest collections of arms and armour, and with this performance we take the opportunity to explore it through the music of ceremony and battle. Fanfare music for brass quintet and percussion takes us through the splendour of Sovereign Ceremonies, the drama of music in battle, a pistol duel, and dynamic selections of music from Richard III.

Bliss, arr. Bettley – The Sovereign’s Fanfare
Infantry – Last Post and Reveille
Purcell, arr. Bettley – Queen Mary’s Funeral March
Walton, arr. Bettley – Selections from Richard III: Fanfare, Trumpets Sound, March and Finale
