Cries of London
(2006)
more music like this
performed by
Else Torp Schröder (soprano), Fretwork, Theatre of Voices (choir, chorus)
composed by
Michael East, Orlando Gibbons, Richard Dering, Thomas Ravenscroft, Thomas Weelkes, William Cobbold
One may not be too old to recall a time when, upon the discovery of the very existence of Orlando Gibbons' remarkable montage of period street cries, The Cries of London, one dashed to the University Library in haste to find a recording. This was usually followed by a sinking realization: while Gibbons' achievement was in itself astonishing, the ...

David Allsopp (alto), Fretwork, John McMunn (tenor), Oliver Brett (organ), Peter Stevens (organ), Choir of King's College, Cambridge (choir, chorus), Stephen Cleobury (conductor)
composed by
Orlando Gibbons, Thomas Tomkins, Thomas Weelkes
Times change even in conservative quarters, and so it is even in that bastion of English tradition, the King's College chapel in Cambridge, England. The all-male (men and boys) Choir of King's College, Cambridge, has been singing these English-language Anglican anthems for nearly 400 years, and the current director, British veteran Stephen ...

English Church Music

Chanticleer, David Thomas [bass] (bass), Donna Deam (soprano), Drew Minter (counter tenor), Fretwork, John Potter (tenor), Jonathan Hardy (organ), Michael Hickman (treble), Peter Harvey (baritone), Robi Bhattacharya (treble)
composed by
Orlando Gibbons, Pelham Humfrey, William Byrd
A fairly random collection of the sacred music of three English composers from the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, each disc of this Harmonia Mundi three-disc set nevertheless has its attractive qualities. In the disc given to two masses and three motets by the celebrated William Byrd, the all-male Chanticleer sings with an austere ...

William Byrd: Consort Songs
(2004)
more music like this
performed by
Emma Kirkby (soprano), Fretwork
composed by
William Byrd
For various reasons, the consort songs -- for voice and viol consort -- of William Byrd have never been terribly well known. They don't have the compelling accompanying narrative of Byrd's religious music, rife with the sociopolitical intrigue of Elizabethan England. Nor do they offer accessible fun for all like the madrigals of the following ...

With a Merrie Noyse: Second Service and Consort Anthems by Orlando Gibbons
(2003)
more music like this
performed by
Fretwork, Jonathan Hardy (organ), Michael Hickman (treble), Peter Harvey (baritone), Robi Bhattacharya (treble), Rogers Covey-Crump (counter tenor), Stephen Connolly (bass), Stephen Harrold (counter tenor), William Harpin (treble), William Roome (treble)
composed by
Orlando Gibbons
Several recordings have recently explored the largely neglected work of English composer Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625). But it is fitting that With a Merrie Noyse has been the one to receive a Grammy award nomination, for Best Small Ensemble Performance, in 2004. This U.S. industry award tends to be bestowed on good collaborations, and With a Merrie ...

composed by
Antoine Busnois, Gavin Bryars, Henry Purcell, John Jenkins, Nicolas Gombert
Lockerbie Memorial Concert is the third release on composer Gavin Bryars' boutique label GB Records, and is taken from a concert given December 21, 1998, at Westminster Cathedral as an observance of the 10th anniversary of the explosion of Pam Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. Likely an act of terrorism, this event claimed 270 lives, one of ...

Ludwig Senfl: Im Maien

more music like this
performed by
Charles Daniels (tenor), Fretwork
composed by
Ludwig Senfl
Quite a few early music releases in the years since 2000 have set themselves the task of exploring music that has rarely been recorded until now. All of these are welcome, but not all of them make a bid to rewrite the history books. Ludwig Senfl: Im Maien is one that does. Senfl (1486-1542), a student of Heinrich Isaac and a composer in the ...

Alexander Agricola: Chansons
(2006)
more music like this
performed by
Fretwork, Michael Chance (counter tenor)
composed by
Alexander Agricola, Fabrice Fitch, Heinrich Isaac, Ninot le Petit [AKA Johannes Baltazar]
In his own time, which was that of the High Renaissance style (he died in 1506), Alexander Agricola was renowned across Europe. The popularity of his song Si dedero is attested to by the composition of parodies, two of which are included on this introduction to the composer's secular music. The Agricola song itself, inexplicably, is not included, ...

In Nomine

performed by
Fretwork
composed by
Alfonso (i) Ferrabosco, Christopher Tye, John Baldwine, John Bull, John Taverner, Robert (ii) Johnson, Robert Parsons, Thomas Preston, Thomas Tallis, William Byrd, William Cornysh
For music in the key of doleful, try this Amon Ra disc called In Nomine by the English ensemble Fretwork. Featuring entirely sixteenth century English music for viols and lute, this disc concentrates nearly entirely on the dark, the dreary, and the dismal. Naturally, this predilection does not preclude musical excellence. Whether written by the ...

Bach: Alio Modo

more music like this
performed by
Fretwork
composed by
Johann Sebastian Bach
Harmonia Mundi's Bach: Alio modo features esteemed period viol consort Fretwork performing keyboard works of Johann Sebastian Bach as adapted by group leader Richard Boothby. The idea of playing Bach on a viol consort would have been a little retro for the composer, who was a capable violinist himself and regularly led groups that were among the ...

Upon its original release in 2001, Fretwork's Ottaviano Dei Petrucci: Harmonice Musices Odehecaton was widely acclaimed as an instant classic, and it was the first recording in 35 years to address its very important topic, the first volume of polyphonic music ever printed. Ottaviano Dei Petrucci was the inventor of a new and stylish kind of music ...

more music like this

Fretwork, Jeremy Avis (vocals)
composed by
Anonymous, Lumley Books, Augustine Bassano, Hieronymus Bassano, Joseph Lupo, Leonora Duarte, Orlando Gough, Philip van Wilder, Salomone Rossi, Thomas Lupo
This is not the first recording of Italian composer Salomone Rossi's 1622 settings of Jewish liturgy, and buyers seeing the subtitle "Jewish Music for Viols" may assume that the album includes further discoveries in the same vein. It's actually oversold, but this release from the innovative British ensemble Fretwork should be useful for anyone ...
