Good Companye: Great Music from a Tudor Court CD

Take a musical journey to the 16th-century world of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I, and feel your cares drift away at the sound of gentle lute music, wistful love songs and stately dances. You'll be charmed by works from King Henry's music manuscript collections, including music he wrote himself, such as "Pastime with Good Companye" and "If Love Now Reigned." Elizabeth inherited her father's ear for a good tune, as you'll hear in William Byrd's "A Voluntarie: For My Ladye Nevell," and John Dowland's "Come Again Sweet Love." Twenty-three Tudor treasures, performed on viols, violin, recorders, lute and clavichord, with singing by The Elizabethan Consort.
