1	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 ... see all copies from £6.13! new only from £6.13!
2	I Heard a Voice: The music of the golden age (2007) more music like this performed by 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 ... see all copies from £5.12! new only from £6.57!
3	Lawes: The Consort Setts for 5 & 7 viols and organ (2002) more music like this performed by Fretwork, Richard Boothby (lyra viol) composed by William Lawes see all copies from £13.65!
4	English Church Music (2006) more music like this performed by 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 ... see all copies from £25.10! new only from £25.10!
5	Purcell: The Fantazias & In Nomines (1995) more music like this performed by Fretwork, Imogen Seth-Smith (viol), Richard Boothby (viol), Richard Campbell (viol), Susanna Pell (viol), Wendy Gillespie (viol), William Hunt (viol) composed by Henry Purcell see all copies from £8.19!

8	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 ... see all copies from £11.98! new only from £11.98!
9	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 ... see all copies from £12.53! new only from £12.53!

Likely an act of terrorism, this event claimed 270 lives, one of ... see all copies from £11.59! new only from £11.59!
11 view cover	Ludwig Senfl: Im Maien (2004) 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 ... see all copies from £12.53! new only from £12.53!
12 view cover	Bach: The Art of the Fugue (2002) more music like this performed by Fretwork composed by Johann Sebastian Bach see all copies from £12.17! new only from £12.17!
13 view cover	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, ... see all copies from £11.98! new only from £11.98!
14 view cover	The Cries of London [Hybrid SACD] (2006) more music like this performed by Else Torp Schröder, Else Torp Schröder (soprano), Fretwork, Theatre of Voices, Paul Hillier (conductor) 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 ... see all copies from £14.00! new only from £14.00!

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 ... see all copies from £11.76! new only from £11.76!

18 view cover	Bach: Alio Modo (2005) 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 ... see all copies from £14.61! new only from £14.61!
19 view cover	Stabat Mater (1997) more music like this performed by Deborah Miles-Johnson (mezzo-soprano), Fretwork (viol), Joanne Andrews (soprano), Simon Berridge (tenor), Taverner Consort Choir, Taverner Consort Choir (choir, chorus), Andrew Parrott (conductor) composed by Arvo Pärt, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Gregorian Chant, John Browne see all copies from £12.62! new only from £12.62!

Ottaviano Dei Petrucci was the inventor of a new and stylish kind of music ... see all copies from £9.71! new only from £9.71!
23 view cover	Birds on Fire: Jewish Music for Viols (2008) more music like this performed by 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 ... see all copies from £13.17! new only from £13.17!
