Podcast appearances and mentions of suzanne aspden

For our next few episodes, we're going to turn to performance and look at how music, theatre and dance have intersected with education in the past. Our stop will be in early modern England, where Dr Amanda Eubanks Winkler will be our guide to performance in the schoolroom. Amanda is a historian of English music in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and twentieth centuries at Syracuse University. Her research interests include the relationship among musical, spiritual, and bodily disorder; performance and pedagogy; and the intersection of music and politics. Her most recent book, Music, Dance, and Drama in Early Modern English Schools, touches on a number of these topics. A transcript of the episode is available at the History of Education Society website, along with more information about our events, publications and conferences. You can follow the History of Education Society UK on Twitter and keep up-to-date with the latest research in The History of Education journal.SourcesMusic, Dance, and Drama in Early Modern English Schools by Amanda Eubanks Winkler  Shakespeare in the Theatre: Sir William Davenant and the Duke's Company by Amanda Eubanks Winkler and Richard Schoch‘Opera at School: Mapping the Cultural Geography of Schoolgirl Performance' by Amanda Eubanks Winkler, in Operatic Georgraphies: The Place of Opera and the Opera House, edited by Suzanne Aspden

This week I am joined by Professor Suzanne Aspden, an expert on both Handel, and the construction of identity through music, to trace the composer's journey from his youthful Italian Cantatas & Operas to his later English Oratorios, and the impact that his compositions have had on British culture and musical life from the Georgian era all the way to the present day.You can listen to the podcast right here on this page, or click on the links in the player (via the symbol of the box with the arrow coming out of the top) to find it in Apple, Spotify, Stitcher and other popular podcast apps, where you will be able to subscribe and receive notifications when new episodes become available in the future.If you are enjoying the Presto Music Podcast please like and subscribe to it on your preferred platform, and maybe even give us a short review.  And we would love to hear your feedback and suggestions for future topics, and also guests who you would like us to talk to.

An ageing King is driven to murderous intent by the youthful heroisms of David, he of giant-slaying fame. The setting is ancient Israel but the story of a nation in transition hit home to an eighteenth century England still in political flux when Handel premiered Saul in 1739.
