Jiri Stivin, RecorderCampion - I Care Not for these Ladiesbubblykings2010-07-07 | Secular vocal music finds a place, above all, in the madrigal. Developing from earlier Italian vocal forms, the madrigal provided an element of popular entertainment in part-songs, music apt for viols or voices, in which a vocal line might be replaced by an instrument, according largely, to the taste and fancy of the performers. The Italian tradition found particular expression in the England of Queen Elizabeth and her immediate successor, with composers that include Byrd. Closely associated with the madrigal is the solo lute-song, a song with lute accompaniment, of which the famous lutenist John Dowland was a noted exponent. One song, in particular, enjoyed the widest popularity. This was the melancholy "Flow my tears", an embodiment of a humour that was the height of fashion in England in the last years of the 16th century. The lute-song is further exemplified in the work of the composer-poet Thomas Campion and others, as displayed here.

Dorothy LinellDowland - Flow My Tearsbubblykings2010-07-07 | 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.

Dorothy LinellGoudimel - Bienheureux est quiconque (Psalm CXXVIII)bubblykings2010-07-07 | Protestant Europe developed its own national traditions. The French psalms of Goudimel, using translations by Clément Marot, include relatively simple musical versions for general use. The setting of Psalm CXXVIII " Bienheureux est quiconque" (Blessed are all they that fear the Lord) offers a more complex example, in motet style. In Germany still never style. In Germany still never styles were introduced, as in the work of composers like Michael Praetorius.
Ensemble Claude Goudimel/ Christine MorelLassus - Kyrie from Mass BellAmfitrit, altera (a 8 voci)bubblykings2010-07-05 | Born at Mons in Hainaut, Orlando de Lassus was a composer of the greatest versatility. His early career was at the court of Mantua, followed by service in Naples and in Rome. For much of his life, however, he worked in Munich in the service of Duke Albrecht V of Bavaria and his successor. He wrote and published a considerable quantity of sacred music, in addition to secular songs, Italian madrigals and settings of French and German texts. In these he demonstrates a wider variety of styles than Palestrina. The 'Kyrie eleison' (Lord have mercy) from his eight-voice Mass "Bell'Amfitrit, altera" here, its title suggesting its secular source, demonstrates the skill of the composer, as exhibited in some sixty surviving Mass settings.
Here is a recording of the Kyrie performed by:
Schola Cantorum of Oxford/ Jeremy SummerlyDallQuila - La traditorabubblykings2010-07-05 | In 1500 Petrucci had established in Venice a means of printing polyphonic music with movable type. This led to the diffusion of compositions by composers like Jowquin. By 1507, he was printing lute music, forestalling Marco dall'Aquila, who had been granted a licence for such publication. Others followed, often with lute arrangements of vocal works. With this came books on how to play the lute, how to read the form of notation used, lute tablature, and how to pluck the strings with the right hand. Among the most distinguished lutenists and composers for the lute was Francesco da Milano, who spent much of his life in papal service. The popularity of the lute was not confined to Italy. In Spain, the related vihuela de mano (hand-viol) inspired a continuing repertoire, while there were parallel developments throughout Europe.
Here is an example of lute music by Dall'Aquila played by:
Shirley Rumsey, the lutistTodos los bienes del mundo (Cancionero Musical de Palacio)bubblykings2010-07-04 | it was in Spain that a particular national music was encouraged. In spite of the expulsion of the Jews and the conquest of the Moorish kingdoms where diverse traditions of learning and the arts had flourished, Spanish music retained identifiable elements of what had been rejected. Something of this can be heard in the 460 surviving compositions perserved in the "Cancionero de Palacio", a royal collection of music at the Spanish court in the first decades of the sixteenth century.

Christopher Wilson, solo Lute/ Shirley Rumsey, Lute DuettistSephardic Songs: A la nanabubblykings2010-07-04 | Vocal music was very important during the Renaissance years and many vocal pieces were secular. Some surviving popular music may be heard in the music of a new Jewish diaspora, the music of Spanish Jewry, the Sephardim, expelled from Spain in 1492 as Ferdinand and Isabella consolidated their power. Those thus displaced often found a welcome in the lands of the Ottoman Empire, to which they brought linguistic and cultural traditions that still survive.
Carmen Cano/Ensemble Accentus/Thomas WimmerMussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition (Promenade I + Gnomus)bubblykings2010-07-01 | Pictures at an Exhibition (Russian: Картинки с выставки -- Воспоминание о Викторе Гартмане, Kartinki s vystavki -- Vospominaniye o Viktore Gartmane, "Pictures from an Exhibition -- A Remembrance of Viktor Hartmann") is a famous suite in ten movements composed for piano by Modest Mussorgsky in 1874.
The suite is Mussorgsky's most famous piano composition, and has become a showpiece for virtuoso pianists. It has also become known through various orchestrations and arrangements produced by other musicians and composers (see: Arrangements and Interpretations, below, for further discussion), with Ravel's arrangement being the most recorded and performed.

The opening French Ouverture, with its characteristic solemn introduction and following fugue is followed by an Air, played by strings and continuo, a movement later popularized in an arrangement by the nineteenth century violinist August Wilhemj as Air on G string which in its original form it is certainly not. The pair of Gavottes are played in alternation, followed by a Bourrée and a lively Gigue, the most frequent conclusion to any set of dances.

His sacred works are very much in the same style as his madrigals, the former exemplified in his five voice "Peccantem me quotidie" (Sinning daily and not penitent, fear of death perturbs me), taken from the Office for the Dead and published in Naples in 1603.

It is written for solo piano and symphony orchestra, closely resembling a piano concerto. The work was written at Villa Senar, according to the score, from July 3 to August 18 1934. Rachmaninoff himself, a noted interpreter of his own works, played the solo piano part at the piece's premiere at the Lyric Opera House in Baltimore, Maryland, on November 7, 1934 with the Philadelphia Orchestra, conducted by Leopold Stokowski.Bellini: Vedi, o madre, e afflitto e mesto ~Natalie Dessay & Francesco Melibubblykings2010-01-28 | La Sonnambula

Overview: Aida, an Ethiopian princess, is captured and brought into slavery in Egypt. A military commander, Radames, struggles to choose between his love for her and his loyalty to the Pharaoh.
