"The
sound of the lutes is absolutely delectable
the group seems to
run the gamut of expressive effects that one can produce with such an
ensemble.
very highly recommended..."
Sweet Division includes music by Europe's greatest composers of the 16th and 17th centuries, including original works by Nicolas Vallet and newly made arrangements of music by Lassus, Praetorius, Charpentier, Purcell, and many others. The program runs the gamut of Renaissance instrumental fare, from sprightly and fashionable Italian dances through tuneful music from English court masques to complex and highly involved intabulations of the finest vocal counterpoint. The recording is a joint project with the Lute Society of America and is available for purchase online (click on the cookies at left). Sweet Division is truly an exquisite "symphony" of sound! |
