‘The Virgin Queen’ Elizabeth I was the focal-point of all England; the subject, dedicatee and audience for much of the music composed and performed throughout her long and now legendary reign. The music on this album, chosen for a concert of words and music devised for the Sarum Consort by Deborah Mackay, includes sacred and secular pieces by composers from Byrd to Weelkes. The Sarum Consort here makes its Naxos début under founding musical director Andrew Mackay. “The Sarum Consort is a finely balanced and blended group… whose pacing and control of light and shade cannot be faulted.” Penguin Guide “The Sarum Consort and its director establish and stick limpet-like to the underlying beat in this album's choice of works for vocal ensemble, catching the sibilant energy and vigour of O clap your hands and unleashing a terrific account of Morley's Hard by a crystal fountain. I've heard other early music ensembles, including household names, make heavy weather of pieces that emerge here with lightness and clarity.” Classic FM Magazine, June 2011 **** | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

Tomkins: | Music divine, proceeding from above To the shady woods now wend we O let me live for true love See, see the shepherds' Queen Phyllis, yet see him dying When I observe those beauty's wonderments Too much I once lamented Fond men that do so highly prize Oyez!
