Musings of the
Rev'd Thomas Twining

Linnet Baroque explores music making in the provinces with extracts of letters and poems by the Rev'd Thomas Twining of the tea merchant family based at Twickenham.

Rev’d Thomas was vicar at Fordham near Colchester, a keen amateur musician and friend of Dr Burney, the great musicologist and composer.

Music includes English & French songs, cantatas and instrumental music by the great masters Rameau, Handel, Burney, Boismortier, C.P.E.Bach and Haydn’s Welsh folk song arrangements, presented alongside the works of lesser known English composers, including John Carr of Boxford and Henry Holcombe.
