Rose Consort of Viols
Remembering Byrd and Weelkes
Music 'apt for voyces or vialls'
William Byrd and Thomas Weelkes both died 400 years ago in 1623. Both wrote elegant fantasias, In nomines and dances for viols, alongside vocal music that both composers described as fit for voices or viols. This programme presents a cross-section of their output, enabling us to admire their skill in exploring a wide range of musical styles.
