The association of Denis Gaultier with Apollo in a 17th c. lute manuscript is not as audacious as it might at first appear: the lutenist was held in great esteem by his contemporaries; indeed, for many he was the embodiment of genius on the lute, the “nonpareil”, and one of the very few capable of “speaking” to his listeners. At first glance, his compositions seem little different from those of his collegues, but further examination reveals a sophistication unparalleled in any other lute music of the period. One is immediately struck by the economy of the writing, in which no note is superfluous and the musical structure reduced to its essence. This minimalist approach is even more apparent in later, published versions which show subtle traces of revision. Denis Gaultier exploited the instrument to the full, and in doing so take the art of lute-playing to a realm undreamt of by elder colleagues. His music placed great demands on the lutenist, lute and listener alike for, knowing what could be achieved, Gaultier chose to push the instrument to its limits, and everyone else along with it.

  Jean-Baptiste Loeillet of London (november 18, 1680 – July 19, 1730), was a Flemish baroque composer as well as a performer on the recorder, flute, oboe, and harpsichord. He is called the London Loeillet to distinguish him from another famous composer, his first cousin Jean Baptiste Loeillet of ghent, and he was the elder brother of Jacques Loeillet, also a composer. Loeillet was born at ghent, then in the spanish netherlands. in 1705, after his studies in ghent and Paris, he moved to London and became known as John. in London, his last name was sometimes rendered as ‘Lully’ or ‘Lullie’: he was unrelated to Jean-Baptiste Lully, the French composer. His works were published by Walsh in London under the name of John Loeillet. He was successful as a player and teacher of the harpsichord. He played woodwind in the Queen’s theatre in the Haymarket and held musical gatherings every week at his home. His performances were well received in London; and he was responsible for introducing Arcangelo corelli’s 12 concerti grossi to Londoners. According to the new Penguin Dictionary of Music, he helped to popularise the transverse flute (a new instrument compared to the recorder) in england. He died in London.

Estoński zespół Vox Clamantis tworzą wokaliści i instrumentaliści zainteresowani chorałem gregoriańskim jako źródłem muzyki zachodnioeuropejskiej. Ich interpretacje muzyki średniowiecza nigdy nie są czysto historyczne. Trzymając się jej idei, prezentują jednak współczesne podejście do repertuaru. Na prezentowanym albumie skoncentrowali się na motywie przewodnim, jakim dla tradycji średniowiecza był temat Filia Sion. Vox Clamantis prezentuje tu muzykę średniowiecza od chorału gregoriańskiego począwszy po Perotina, Hildegardę z Bingen i, co ciekawe dla polskich odbiorców, Piotra z Grudziądza. W starym Testamencie Filia Sion czyli córa Syjonu oznacza święte miasto Jerozolimę, jak i naród żydowski, który zbudował świątynię na górze Syjon. W średniowiecznej tradycji chrześcijańskiej Matka Boska to córa Syjonu, w wymiarze symbolicznym personifikująca kościół jako zgromadzenie wiernych.Tracklista:1. Ecce venit / Psalm 942.

In this latest volume from The Cardinall’s Musick acclaimed Byrd series, the composer’s overtly Catholic agenda is clearly displayed. In an age when censorship was rife and spies were everywhere, it is not surprising that possession of the first volume of Gradualia should have been cited as one of the reasons for the arrest of a Jesuit priest called de Noiriche (although obviously the spies had other more compelling evidence to hand). Only one set of the 1605 partbooks remains intact, although they have had their introductory material removed and perhaps these volumes were considered too dangerous to own. This fear, whether real or perceived, was not enough to dissuade Byrd and his publisher from producing a second book of Gradualia in 1607, or from re-printing both volumes in 1610. All of the music on this disc is drawn from the first volume of Gradualia published in 1605. The music is a world away from the dark broodings of the Cantiones Sacrae from 1589 and 1591 where Byrd is preoccupied with the melancholy which dominates his middle years. In the later publications Byrd achieves a fusion of styles, mixing the energy, wordpainting and rhythmic vitality of the secular madrigal tradition with the spirituality and liturgical context of words from the Mass and Divine Office. The witty use of short bursts of melody often thrown from one voice to another, together with the energized rhythmic cells, suggests a man who is not obsessed with a hopeless cause. It may be that in the Essex countryside, surrounded by sympathetic folk, Byrd had found a real home away from the political maelstrom which raged in London. These pieces show a glimpse of the man which is rather different to our more usual perception of the composer racked with misery at the deprivation of Catholics in England. Here we see a man in the later stages of life, affected by the aftermath of the Reformation (as his earlier publications clearly show), yet who is now sufficiently relaxed and secure to be able to indulge his considerable wit and imagination, and who is confident enough to use the most up-to-date musical styles. Here there is no wringing of hands, nor downcast eyes but rather the musical embodiment of an unshakeable faith.

Following the success of the Westminster Cathedral Lay Clerks in their glorious men-only recording of Victoria’s Missa Gaudeamus, the choir returns to full ranks for a further issue in their survey of the Masses of this undisputed Master of the Renaissance.This new recording opens with Victoria’s five-part setting of the Marian antiphon Salve regina, followed by two of the composer’s Masses: Missa De Beata Maria Virgine and Missa Surge propera, which is preceded by its Palestrina model. Released to mark the conclusion of a highly successful American tour, this album finds the choir in superb voice and the thrillingly involved sound is perfectly coloured by the Westminster resonance.
