BEDLAM is Kayleen Sanchez, soprano, and Laudon Schuett, lute.
Bedlam is a 15th and 16th century colloquial term for the Bethl
Royal Hospital in London, England. At the time it was an in~ou
psychiatric facility and an inspiration for artists and writers living
around it. Perhaps the most famous musical reference to Bedlam is
Henry Purcell' s "From Silent Shades and the Elysian Groves," also
known as "Mad Bess of Bedlam" and is an early example of the
"mad song" genre. Both Kayleen (BM, MM in Voice) and Laudon
(MM, DMA im.Early Musi'c.) studied at the Eastman School of
Music and have decided, perhaps madly and against all good advice,
to pursue careers in music! Bedlam is dedicated to exploring the rich
repertoires of music for voice and lute in the 16th and 17th
centuries. It is not our goal to simply recreate performance practices
of early music for educational purposes but to use the knowledge of
such practices to produce vivid, visceral, and above-all, entertaining
music. We hope you enjoy!

Pronunciation:
Historical pronunciation of Scottish English and
English English has become a fascinating topic of
interest for per~ormers over the past few decades.
When looking at the texts of songs from the 16th and
17th century, it immediately becomes apparent that
when using modem pronunciation, issues arise with
rhyme and double meaning. For example, a line of
' "say," and the next
poetry might end with the word
line ends with "die." In modem English these two
words do not rhyme, but in early 17th century
English English, the word "die" sounds like the word
"day" to modem ears. As performers, we have to
weigh the advantages and disadvantages of
performing with OP, or original pronunciation. On
the one hand, OP can sometimes make it difficult for
audience members to immediately understand what
is being said, while on the other hand, it adds a
distinct color to the music that helps to separate it
from other english song repertoire. Bedlam has
decided to perform the works in as close to original
pronunciation as possible because we believe that it
allows us to explore the full spectrum of colors and
sounds that were available to 16th century and early
17th century singers.
