Collection: Renaissance Subcollection: Voices and Chamber Ensemble At the beginning of the 16th century Nuremberg (“The spider in the web”) was a northern European centre in which many threads of international music life came together. Early on Nuremberg had established itself as a centre of book printing. The first printing-offices that occupied themselves seriously with the printing of music, however, were those of Hieronymus Formschneider and Johannes Petreius. Most of the pieces on this recording are taken from these collections of three-part music. They contain international repertoire, including old masterworks such as Caecox and Tandernaken by Alexander Agricola, but also arrangements of German folk songs and ballads, as well as French compositions and more recent Italian forms. |

Subcollection: Chamber Ensemble Thirty largely original instruments in the hands of music-making angels in Freiberg Cathedral are unique evidence of Saxon musical-instrument-making in the sixteenth century. Copies were made of the angels’ instruments - cornetts, trombones, shawms, triangle, tambourine, harps, citterns, violins and lutes - during the course of a research project. Their sound can be rediscovered on this CD of late-Renaissance instrumental and vocal works from Saxony. Musica Freybergensis is a hand-picked group of musicians chosen by Music Instrument Museum of Leipzig University and Raumklang for the purpose of practical research into the sound of the Freiberg instruments. Before making this recording a number of concerts were presented over the period of a year, including one in Freiberg Cathedral, giving the musicians time to break in the instruments, to become accustomed to them, and to discover their possibilities. |
