Music for Brass Ensemble from the 16th - 18th centuries
Catalog Number: BIS223
One of the great brass surveys — from Pezel's Leipzig tower music and Roman's Drottningholm dances to Locke's coronation fanfares and Gabrieli's thundering polychoral canzon. Two Swedish ensembles at their finest.
Music for Brass Ensemble from the 16th - 18th centuries
This disc surveys five centuries of music for brass ensemble, performed by two of Sweden's finest groups: the Stockholm Philharmonic Brass Ensemble and the Malmö Brass Ensemble. Most of the repertoire is dance music from the 16th and 17th centuries, including Johann Pezel's Hora Decima suite, a selection from Roman's celebrated Drottningholm Music, and English dances by Byrd arranged by horn player Ifor James. Matthew Locke's Music for His Majesty's Sackbuts and Cornetts — performed during Charles II's coronation procession in 1661 — stands as a landmark in English brass writing, while Giovanni Gabrieli's Canzon septimi toni brings the collection to a magnificent polychoral close. The programming ranges from intimate quintet writing to a nine-part double-choir texture, showcasing the full breadth of brass ensemble music from the Renaissance to the Baroque.
