Music for viols by the cavalier composer.
CONCORDIA directed by Mark Levy
Consort Setts a6 in F, B flat and g minor
Lyra viol Trios in D and d minor
Catches Hark jolly lads; Come my lads; Whither go ye;
The wise men were but seven
" Be careful you might get hooked" The Times
"Concordia's treatment is the most illuminating of all
for its sense of the music's shape and thought. We get
a strong feeling here of rolling paragraphs and
episodes, guided by a tightly governed momentum
from among the performers as a group, and an
awareness of the viol fantasy genre as a kind of
dramatic dialogue in notes. Indeed, Levy believes the
consort sets had their premiere in a theatre. His
programme note is exemplary in its stylishness and
detail"
