Collection: Chamber Music
Subcollection: Chamber Ensemble
The method of composition, which has recourse to existing musical material, reworking it into a new composition, figures as a central principle of occidental music history. This applies particularly to the mass and motet compositions of the Renaissance, when this method of adopting and reworking existing music represented one of the key features of musical production. An especially vivid example - which however remains singular in its appearance - for the continuous engagement with a certain musical “theme” is the English “In Nomine“ genre dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries.
This tradition started out with the six-voice mass Gloria tibi Trinitas by John Taverner (around 1495-1545), composed no later than around 1528. To the words “In nomine Domini” the section of the Benedictus (the lyrics are: “Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini” - “blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord”) has a salient four-voice section, which, as cantus firmus in the alto part, contains the antiphon “Gloria tibi Trinitas” quoted in its entirety.

Collection: Instrumental
150 years of English virginals music
Classical Periods: Baroque, Medieval, Renaissance
For this CD David has chosen a programme which reflects the social and political changes taking place in Britain through the 16th and 17th centuries, and which explores the different influences on the repertoire of the virginal, an instrument which was a major part of musical life at that time. Through a chronological survey, he also focuses our attention on the development of the instrument itself and how it adapted to the demands of the changing repertoire.
David makes particular use of the Arpichordium, or ‘bray’ stop: a batten parallel with the bridge, in which are fixed a set of metal hooks that touch the strings when the stop is engaged, resulting in a colourful ‘buzzing’ sound.
The instrument used in this recording was made by Ian Tucker, and is a Muselar virginal, an exact replica of one made in Antwerp in 1620, by Andreas Ruckers.

Subcollection: Oboe
The young musicians of the Harmony of Nations Baroque Orchestra come from fourteen countries. The highlight of this CD is undoubtedly the well-known Oboe Concerto by Tomaso Albinoni, wonderfully played by Baroque oboist Alfredo Bernardini. The youthful freshness and the enthusiasm that the young musicians bring to this recording make this a thrilling musical experience. |
