MADAME X - Music
http://madame-x.co.uk/music
Join the MADAME X. Sing us a song! The music of MADAME X. By award-winning composer Tim Benjamin. Is influenced strongly by the music of Handel. And bears some comparison to the sounds of the Baroque. Yet it is certainly a modern piece: like the works of art that pepper the libretto, Benjamin’s score darts about the history of classical music. Have you see the trailer. Or the second trailer. Members of the PUBLIC. Soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor, bass. In addition to the voices. Harpsichord / chamber organ.
