(Music from around 1600 by Robert Jones, William Corkine & Tobias Hume for voice, lyra viol, lute & harp)

In the heyday of English Renaissance music, the boundaries of musical forms and instrumental technique were expanded and composers set out in search of new, fascinating sounds

Thanks to the outstanding ensemble on this recording - Anna-Lena Elbert (soprano), Friederike Heumann (viola da gamba, lyra viol), Evangelina Mascardi (Renaissance lute) and Angelique Mauillon (harp) - this music blossoms again in its ancient splendor, and we can be enchanted by its beauty, ingenuity and bittersweet melancholy.
