In 1612, Prince Henry Frederick, son of James I and heir to the thrones of England and Scotland, died from a suspected bout of typhoid fever. His untimely death inspired a massive outpouring of artistic tributes in both verse and music, reflecting the mood of a nation mourning the loss of this popular future king at just 18 years of age.'Dialogues of Sorrow' is the second disc from early music consort group Gallicantus, here joined by lutenist Elizabeth Kenny to perform familiar masterpieces and undiscovered treasures of the late English Renaissance, composed at the time of the young prince's death. The release follows the group's critically acclaimed debut recording, 'Hymns, Psalms and Lamentations' - music by Robert White.Reviews for Gallicantus’s 2009 disc, Hymns, Psalms and Lamentations: Sacred Music by Robert White (SIGCD134)“Taste the final amens in Exaudiat te, Dominus, where imitative exchanges spiral in ecstasy. Impassioned, exciting music.”The Times“What an outstanding disc … never once is there a loss of clarity, a hint of muddiness.” The Gramophone“ ... this is a well-sung, intelligently produced and exhaustively researched project, which deserves great success. ”International Record Review“One of the the year’s best choral releases”TheArtsDesk.com"This is a perfect selection … lovingly and movingly performed."Early Music Today – Editor’s Choice, December 2010
From Michael Praetorius‘ extensive works we hear the same pieces again and again during the Christmas season, such as Es ist ein Ros’ entsprungen (A great and mighty wonder). Thus wellcomposed, but at the same time, because of their congregational use, simple compositions have become well-known to a larger audience. In this way Praetorius has gained the unjustified reputation of being a composer of naive and folk-like music. The aim of this recording is to adjust this false picture somewhat. In order to emphasize the whole range of his art of arrangement, the choice was limited to five groups of hymns and two additional concertos. In this way it can be shown just how much vivid imagination was used by Praetorius: from the canonic bicinium through the simple four-part harmonization and the very complex contrapuntal chorale motet right up to the multi-choral vocal concert with solo voices, choir, instruments and figured bass.

Michael Praetorius was a hugely versatile German composer. His 1603 post as Kapellmeister in Wolfenbüttel necessitated extensive travel throughout Germany, enabling him to establish widespread acclaim as a conductor and musical advisor. Praetorius’s church music is much less known today than it should be, partly because of the sheer volume that he composed. This beautiful selection of hymns, chorales and carols attempts to reproduce the effect of a performance under Praetorius’s direction; soloists are drawn from the choir and instruments of late sixteenth- or early seventeenth-century design are used.
