Music from the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, transcribed for mixed consort.
CD OF THE MONTH - BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE
"an inspired concept...outstanding in every respect"
BBC Music Magazine (Disc of the Month)
If you are adverse to early music groups playing arrangements, perhaps you should read no further, but then on the other hand, perhaps you really should! Charivari AgrA©able's forte is playing arrangements"1very carefully researched arrangements, and certainly following historical practice in which it was popular for a composer to make a setting of another composer's piece, long before the days of copyright lawyers! The group is one of the UK's most outstanding ensembles and it has an international reputation for fresh and yet scholarly approach to early chamber music. The ensemble consists of flutes, various pluckies and keyboards, violin and viols"1the latter played by Susanne Heinrich, Susanna Pell and Reiko Ichise.
The Fitzwilliam Virginal Book album uses the whole ensemble and presents such favorites as Byrd's Walsisngham and Rowland, Morley's O Mistress Mine,Inglott's The leaves bee Greene and Peerson's The Fall of the Leafe. The arrangements are copyrighted by various members of the group.
Particularly arresting on this CD was Bull's Ut re mi fa sol la because of its chromaticism. The piece is based on the hexachord and daringly modulates through all 12 keys. Since Fitzwilliam is for keyboard, it suggests that some form of equal temperament or a keyboard with split keys must have been used. But there is no sound evidence of either equal temperament or split keys in England during Bull's time, so it has been surmised that the piece may have been conceived for viols (like the hexachord fantasias by his contemporary Alfonso Ferrabosco II) and later adapted to keyboard.
Particularly enchanting on this CD were the violin divisions in Farnaby's Daphne. Also special were the gutsy King's Hunt (Bull) and Gipseis Round (Byrd). These two were done with full ensemble, and it's fun to follow the keyboard score and see what clever things were done texture-wise in the scoring. Byrd's Rowland divisions make a wonderful duet for two bass viols and are admirably played by Susanne H. and Susanna P. There is also a handful of non-English pieces of which Sweelinck's Praeludium Toccata is an outstanding duet on this recording, as performed ravishingly by Susanne Heinrich and Lynda Sayce (theorbo).
