Programme Note
Filmed in the medieval ambience of York’s grade-one listed National Centre for Early Music, the multi-award-winning vocal ensemble I Fagiolini presents an hour of vocal music from four musical capitals of the 16th-18th centuries: Byrd in irrepressibly joyful mood plus one of the great laments of the period; frisky French music plus a soulful lovesong; a touch of Carnival before the intensity of Monteverdi and friends in devotional mood; and to finish, a short but graphically expressive funeral piece that Bach would have known, leading to Bach's own two-choir motet, 'Komm Jesu Komm', sung by a dream team of Bach specialists.
