‘Now the Night her Mantle’ (1836) by Henri Herz. Performed by James Doig (voice and piano). On 28 March 2017, concert goers at Elizabeth Bay House experienced a magical evening contrasting two different musical worlds. Now available online, Here and There: Music at Home in Sydney and London, 1830–1845 contrasts the musical soundscape of colonial Sydney with that of cosmopolitan London. The first half of the program contains music found in the collections of Sydney residents, while the second half consists of music more common in London drawing rooms.
