My word.
Well tuned in to #radiocapish

For "Baroque Mondays: at the court of the Capish King," we present the music contained in a manuscript known as "Concerts A Deux Violes Esgales," which belonged to Alfred Denis Cortôt (1877 – 1962) and is attributed to the master of the viola da gamba par excellence: Jean de Sainte-Colombe (ca. 1640–1700) in a recording made in 1976 by Jordi Savall and Wieland Kuijken for Astrée.

Enjoy listening.

“The Baroque Mondays: at the court of the Capish King” takes us back to a specific place and a specific day: Oxford, July 7, 1592. On that day and in that place, composers Giles Farnaby (c. 1563 – 1640) and John Bull (c. 1563 – 1628) were awarded the title of Bachelor of Music. Their mutual influence and friendship is also documented by their style, light and dreamy.
Most of their compositions have been handed down to us through a very important manuscript source of early English Baroque: the “Fitzwilliam Virginal Book,” now preserved at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.
Well, today we will listen to some of their compositions preserved in this precious manuscript, performed on the harpsichord by Pieter-Jan Belder (b. 1966).

Enjoy your listening.

Appendix to yesterday's "Baroque Monday": "Flow my tears," the aria from which the variations of "Lachrimae or Seaven Teares" are derived.

Dowland - Flow My Tears

Text:
Flow, my tears, fall from your springs!
Exiled for ever, let me mourn;
Where night's black bird her sad infamy sings,
There let me live forlorn.
Down vain lights, shine you no more!
No nights are dark enough for those
That in despair their lost fortunes deplore.
Light doth but shame disclose.
Never may my woes be relieved,
Since pity is fled;
And tears and sighs and groans my weary days
Of all joys have deprived.
From the highest spire of contentment
My fortune is thrown;
And fear and grief and pain for my deserts
Are my hopes, since hope is gone.
Hark! you shadows that in darkness dwell,
Learn to contemn light
Happy, happy they that in hell
Feel not the world's despite.

for “Baroque Mondays: at the court of the Capish King” today we present the seven pavans that John Dowland (1563 - 1626) published in 1604 under the title Lachrimae or Seaven Teares Figured in Seaven Passionate Pavans, which are written as variations on the theme of "Flow my tears" from four years earlier.
The recording, performed in May 1987 at Santa Maria de Sant Martí Sarroca in Catalonia by Jordi Savall with the ensemble Hesperion XXI (then Hesperion XX), can undoubtedly be regarded as one of the best available.

Enjoy listening.
