Music for violins and lute from seventeenth-century England.
John Playford’s ‘The Division Violin’ was published in 1684 and features lively and virtuosic variations with a repeating ‘Ground Base’, based on popular songs of the day such as ‘John Come Kiss Me Now’ and ‘Johney Cock thy Beaver’. Marketed as ‘the First Musick of this Kind ever published’ it was immediately reprinted with ten extra songs and was widely known and performed. The composer Matthew Locke followed Charles II into exile and eventually wrote for his Royal Wind Band and Royal Band of Violins. He resisted the fashionable French style of the day and his music remained original, very English, and rather eccentric. This programme features his colourful Suites of Airs and Dances. Purcell represented the culmination of English 17th Century music and is arguably England’s greatest composer. His rich, Italiante trio-sonatas include a Chaconne on a ground bass – continuing the theme of this programme. Alison Bury and Henrietta Wayne, violins Music by Mozart for clarinet and strings including the one of the greatest masterpieces of the repertoire, the Clarinet Quintet. Mozart Clarinet Quintet Mozart Divertimento in D for string quartet Antony Pay, clarinet
