This double-CD set, a budget reissue of two 1990s releases by the Chicago-based ensemble the King's Noyse, captures a sound still relatively uncommon in performances of English music from the seventeenth century: the violin band. British art demonstrates the popularity of the violin during the period listeners instinctively associate with the ...

performed by Daniel Taylor (counter tenor), Elizabeth Kenny (harp), Elizabeth Kenny (lute), Frances Kelly (harp), James Bowman (counter tenor), Mark Levy (gamba), Ralph Fiennes, Theatre of Early Music
composed by Abraham Cowley, Anonymous, English, Ben Jonson, Francis Quarles, George Herbert, John Dowland, John Playford, Robert (ii) Johnson, Robert Jones, Thomas Campion, Walter Raleigh, William Shakespeare

This collection of post-Elizabethan melancholy risks being overly ambitious, for it tries to pursue two innovative goals. First, it mixes songs and poetry of the period; it is not the only recording to have done so, but it is likely to be the first one that attendees at the Stratford Festival, say, run across on the rack. Second, it tries to ...

Byrdland (2007) more music like this

performed by Lawrence Zazzo (counter tenor), Paragon Brass Ensemble (brass ensemble)
composed by Anonymous, Antony Holborne, Henry Purcell, John Danyel, John Dowland, John Playford, Orlando Gibbons, Thomas Morley, William Byrd

Countertenor Lawrence Zazzo's collection of lute and consort songs by English Renaissance and Baroque composers is performed with a twist; instead of using period instruments for accompaniment, Zazzo uses a saxophone quartet. The purist, before running screaming in the other direction, should take a deep breath, listen to a few tracks, and ...

English Renaissance masques were extravagant, evening-long entertainments compiled of various songs and dances loosely organized around a plot or theme. Little is known about John Maynard (1577-1633), who wrote a set of songs titled The XII Wonders of the World, which forms the framework around which this masque is reconstructed. This version ...
