Gustav Holst (1874-1934) PROGRAMME NOTES by Sarah Maxted I Fagiolini begin ‘The ache, the bite and the banger’ with three works by the Italian master of musical drama, Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643). Working for the court at Mantua, Monteverdi was one of the pioneering composers who contributed to the genesis of the opera genre at the start of the seventeenth century. Following the innovations of fellow Italian composer Jacopo Peri, Monteverdi developed the era’s fashionable court entertainments into a format recognisable as opera with his 1607 work L’Orfeo. The opera is based on the mythological story of Orpheus and Eurydice, with a libretto by Mantuan court diplomat Alessandro Striggio.

  • Thomas Tallis the Complete Works
    Thomas Tallis The Complete Works Tallis is dead and music dies. So wrote William Byrd, Tallis's most distinguished pupil, capturing the esteem and veneration in which Tallis was held by his fellow composers and musical colleagues in the 16th century and, indeed, by the four monarchs he served at the Chapel Royal. Tallis was undoubtedly the greatest of the 16th century composers; in craftsmanship, versatility and intensity of expression, the sheer uncluttered beauty and drama of his music reach out and speak directly to the listener. It is surprising that hitherto so little of Tallis's music has been regularly performed and that so much is not satisfactorily published. This series of ten compact discs will cover Tallis's complete surviving output from his five decades of composition, and will include the contrafacta, the secular songs and the instrumental music - much of which is as yet unrecorded. Great attention is paid to performance detail including pitch, pronunciation and the music's liturgical context. As a result new editions of the music are required for the recordings, many of which will in time be published by the Cantiones Press. 1 CD 1 Music for Henry VIII This recording, the first in the series devoted to the complete works of Thomas Tallis, includes church music written during the first decade of his career, probably between about 1530 and 1540. Relatively little is known about Tallis’s life, particularly about his early years. He was probably born in Kent during the first decade of the sixteenth century. When we first hear of him, in 1532, he is organist of Dover Priory, a small Benedictine monastery consisting of about a dozen monks.
