The Orlando Consort once again shows its intelligence and educated approach to Renaissance-era music, while not denying the beauty of the pieces.

composed by Arthur Sullivan, Charles Villiers Stanford, Edward Elgar, Granville Bantock, Hubert Parry, Hugh S. Roberton, J. Scott Irvine, John Bennet, Peter Warlock, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Scottish Traditional, Thomas Morley, William Byrd

The idea of re-creating the sound and repertoire of a Scottish choir from the early twentieth century might sound obscure, but this Hyperion recording has succeeded well enough to merit reissue in the budget Helios line. The choir involved is the Glasgow Orpheus Choir, known simply as theOrpheus. It was founded officially in 1906, after taking ...

composed by Alfonso Ferrabosco (i), Alfonso Ferrabosco (ii), Antony Holborne, Edward Johnson, John Bennet, Robert Parsons, Robert White, Thomas Tallis, Thomas Tomkins, Thomas Weelkes, William Byrd, William Cornysh

Perhaps it's an example of a characteristically Dutch sense of humor to have a group called the Gents performing music by the Gentlemen of the Chapel Royal, the court composers of sixteenth century England. But when the group gets down to the music, it's all business. The Gents are not an English but a Dutch ensemble, formed of veterans of one of ...

In 1601, English composer Thomas Morley published a volume of madrigals called The Triumphs of Oriana. The music was intended to honor the aging Queen Elizabeth I, referred to as Oriana for reasons about which historians disagree (one version of the story is given in the detailed and informative notes by Thomas Elias). Each madrigal concluded with ...
