Lady Sings The Viol

The Marais Project

The concept behind Lady Sings the Viol was to create a CD of ‘covers’ of popular tunes. Five very different singers individually and collectively perform songs from 1300 to the present day including music by Piaf, John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin’s bassist), Schubert and Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin.

There are also superb arrangements of ‘She was beautiful’ (made famous by Cleo Laine), ‘Chattanooga Choo Choo'and even a Swedish folk fiddle number. Each song is accompanied by different combinations of viols, violin, lutes, guitars, harp and percussion.

Jennifer originally formed The Marais Project in 2000 to perform the complete 600 works of Marin Marais, the famed 17th century French master of the viol. They are currently more than 80% through this unique musical marathon. Along the way she has also pursued a number of innovative side projects with jazz and world musicians.
