5 out of 5 stars The Grand Climax of English Culture.......2006-12-02

John Dowland (1563 - 1626) and William Byrd (1543 - 1623): Goe Nightly Cares. Consort Music and Songs. Performed by Fretwork (Wendy Gillespie; Richard Campbell; Julia Hodgson; William Hunt; Richard Boothby) with Christopher Wilson, lute, Michael Chance, countertenor [CD1] and Elizabeth Liddle, viol [CD2]. Recorded at the Maltings, Snape, Suffolk (England) in December 1987 (CD1) and April 1989 (CD2). Total time: CD1 74'57"; CD2 61'25". Originally released on single CDs in 1989 and 1990. Re-issued as a 2-CD box in 1999 as Virgin Veritas 7243 5 61561 2 8.

The reigns of Elizabeth I. (1558 - 1603) and of James I. (1603 - 1620) of England produced the grand climax of English culture. The literary side of this is well-known (Spencer, Sidney, Marlowe, Shakespeare, Jonson, Webster, Beaumont and Fletcher, Donne, the earlier Metaphysical poets). The musical aspects, on the other hand, have only recently been made available to a wider public by exponents of the early music movement. Anthony Rooley, Emma Kirkby and the Consort of Musicke performed madrigals and lute songs of the period for Decca; and Fretwork set themselves the task of recording "viol consorts" from the same decades. The viol has nothing to do with the violin or viola; it is the "viola da gamba", a nasal sounding string instrument that in Renaissance times was manufactured in several different sizes and often played "in consort", i. e. by a group of five to six musicians with a "family" of different-sized viols. Although the nasal quality of the sound lends itself to melancholy, many of the pieces played here are, in fact, dances, only John Dowland's "Lachrimae" ("Tears") and his "signature tune" "Semper Dowland, semper dolens" being really deliberately melancholy. Byrd's "In Nomines" are based on the plain-chant tradition, apparently going back to a popular melody from one of John Taverner's masses. The Consort Songs are similar to lute songs of the period but accompanied by viols.

The performances sound just as riveting today as they presumably did when these CDs first appeared around 17 years ago. The viol playing by Fretwork is absolutely spot-on, with Christopher Wilson's lute underlay providing a perfect contrast. On CD1, there are six songs performed by Michael Chance, a superb countertenor. What a pity that the sung texts are not printed in the very thin booklet! This is fascinating music that deserves more than a peremptory hearing.

As a footnote I should perhaps add that Dowland's Lachrimae and the attached dances have also been recorded on a consort of renaissance violins by the Parley of Instruments Renaissance Violin Consort, led by Peter Holman (on Hyperion). This disc is equally to be recommended, and I am glad to have both versions of this meditative but moving music.

5 out of 5 stars a voice teacher and early music fan.......2006-11-20

Firstly, the buyer should know that this 2 CD album is a combination of almost the same song material that is included on the single CD album 'Goe Nightly Cares' and 'Music for Viols'. Also the above list is not totally accurate as to the songs that Michael 'Chance sings; so here they are: by Wm Byrd: 'If women could be fair'-'Lullaby, my sweet little baby'-'Ah silly soul'-'Ye sacred muses'-and 'Come to me, grief forever'; and by Dowland:'Goe Nightly cares, the enemy to rest' and 'Lasso vita mia'. It is really an excellent group of songs sung by Chance (countertenor)with his usual perfection. I maintain that no one sings this type of song as well as he does. Christopher Wilson very ably accompanies Chance on the lute and Paul Nicholson on the organ. Fretwork is an excellent groups and their performance includes the music of Wm. Byrd-Elway Bevin-Orlando Gibbons-John Dowland-Wm. Lawes and Anthony Holborne.

5 out of 5 stars Sweet and Melancholy.......2000-01-25

This is a splendid collection of definitive quality performances by two of the greatest Elizabethan masters. The music is rich and moving, though the faint of heart should be advised that the selections are unremittingly melancholy. I find this an attraction. Nevertheless, it isn't an ideal choice for light classical music, nor as atmospheric background for a rollicking Elizabethan theme party .Neither is it ideal for relaxation--it demands too much attention. Highly recommended for contemplative listeners.

5 out of 5 stars Penetrating music and fine performances.......2000-01-14

I was only somewhat familiar with this genre of music, but when a friend gave me this disc, I became very entranced with it. This music has a folk, Hausmusik feel, but with such masterly compositional effecs throughout all the pieces. Particularly fine is track 6 on the first disc, which reminds me of Barber's Adagio for Strings. Another lovely touch is the ensemble's subtle descending scale at cadences. Simply haunting, and most highly recommended.

4 out of 5 stars Nice 2-for-1 collection of consort music........1999-06-30

The first CD, recorded in 1989, features Michael Chance on six tracks (no texts included), the second CD, recorded in 1987, is solely viol music.

There isn't anyone better at this genre than Fretwork so further comment is needless.

    If you had to reduce your recordings of 16th-century instrumental music to only one disc (a horrendous thought!), you'd do very well to keep this one. Rarely is any recording of any repertoire so well conceived, programmed, and performed--and rarely is the music so consistently and incredibly beautiful. The age in which this music was created may have been infinitely different from ours, but we dearly need music with such sincerity and heart these days. Lutenist Julian Bream and his period-instrument ensemble draw us into an enchanting world of beautiful, sometimes heartbreaking melodies and lovely harmonies. Occasionally we hear a lively dance, and a few times we hear Robert Tear's plaintive tenor. But mostly it's the viols, Renaissance flute, cittern, and lute performing some of the finest examples of English Renaissance music we're ever likely to hear. --David Vernier

      Fretwork recorded this album with Michael Chance in April of 1989. This is really one of their best albums as to song selection and the time allocated to Chance, which in subsequent albums they tend to minimize. And that's not a good idea because although the string music is quite enjoyable one needs to hear a different tonality every now and then. The songs sung by Chance are absolute "gems" and he sings them with the greatest artistry and finesse!! There is no singer of lute songs today that can match his renditions. The 6 songs are: "If Women Could Be Fair"-"Lasso Vita mia, mi fa morire"-"Lullaby,my sweet little baby","Goe nightly cares,the enemy to rest"-"Ah Silly Soul" and "Ye Sacred Muses". Fretwork performs"Dances from 'Lachrimae" by John Dowland and Consort Music and songs by William Byrd. Fretwork and Chance are powerfully good musicians and work as one!!!!!!!Incidentally the album following this one :Dowland and Byrd songs includes this exact CD as their CD one. The second disc is just Fretwork.
