After a first volume in 2017 devoted to Orlando Gibbons, the Fretwork Ensemble, the Magdalena Consort and His Majesty's Sagbutts & Cornets under the artistic direction of William Hunt continue their exciting exploration of the extraordinarily powerful rhetoric and poetic power of the royal psalms and hymns that could be heard in the Royal Chapel and in domestic chapels at the end of the 16th century in England.
This second volume is largely devoted to William Byrd, the great master of the late English Renaissance. Famous pieces, such as Byrd's Easter Mass or Thomas Morley's Nativity, are performed alongside compositions by John Bull, Benjamin Cosyn and Edmund Hooper. Here, we are transported to rooms intended for intimate devotion.
Personal prayer manuals were extremely popular during the reigns of Henry VIII and Mary I (Mary Tudor), and Byrd naturally set them to music. Some of the instrumental accompaniments on this album have been reconstructed from arrangements found in two contemporary organ books. The "Tudor organ" used for this recording was specially rebuilt by the historical organ builders Goetze & Gwynn from the remains of two soundboards found in Suffolk. This resurrected instrument gives an additional authentic guarantee to the historically informed knowledge of all singers and musicians. © François Hudry/Qobuz
