An exploration of the Elizabethan and Jacobean cult of melancholy as it was expressed in music for viols. Glyn Maxwell's modern poetry included in the booklet takes its inspiration from the music and narrates a story of loss, regret and disaster. Illustrated with woodcuts by Käthe Kollwitz.
"Treat yourself to some exquisite gloom."
(Independent on Sunday)
"Concordia commissioned the British poet Glyn Maxwell to write a series of poems linked to the English music from the period leading up to the Civil War. The result is Crye, a bewitching CD from Metronome exploring the period's obsession with madness and paranoia."
