Delicate lute duets which conjure images of a courtly scene. Musicians play quietly in the corner of a garden, where the colours and scents are reflected in the twists, turns and melodies of this elegant music. This collection of Tudor music for two lutes includes music by the important and famous composers of the day, not only from England, but also further afield. The Tudor court was famous for its music and for employing a large number of Italian musicians throughout the sixteenth century. The latter tracks on this album are therefore by European composers of the period, and feature primarily arrangements of famous songs and choral music of the day. Many pieces are anonymous, often with a Spanish flavour, but in some instances we have indicated where the music is found, to provide a context of time and place.
