Popular music has been based on repeating, cyclical patterns since the get go. Songs from antiquity through today share harmonic and melodic forms with one another across the centuries. Chatham Baroque artistic directors Andrew Fouts (violin) and Scott Pauley (theorbo & baroque guitar) partner up for a plugged-in program that covers a whole lot of musical ground, from renaissance songs, baroque ground basses, and old-time tunes. Utilizing amplification, loop pedals, and playback, two players become a full band.
