Collection: Instrumental Subcollection: String instrumentsThis recording thus serves as homage to the memory of the glorious period, in which some of these instruments existed, in the form of a suggestive approach to the disquieting and enigmatic sonic world of the time. The exquisitely selected ingredients for this menu are sheep gut strings, Venice catline gut roped bass strings according to Praetorius, black horse hair for the bows, historical tunings (such as the French music played at 390 hertz), historical temperaments (Pythagorean for the Vihuela), English scordatura tuning, instruments made according to old techniques, instrument models of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, etc…

Collection: Traditional Subcollection: Spanish SongsDas „United Continuo Ensemble“ liebt es, alte Musik mit neuen Aspekten zu verbinden. Auf dem Programm dieser „Fiesta Española“ ergänzen sich in temperamentvoller Anmut frühbarocke Stücke - wie das eingängige „Ojos pues me desdeñais“ von José Marin (gesungen von Mercedes Hernandéz) - mit modernen Flamencokompositionen. Besonders spannend wird die Aufnahme durch das hörbare Tanzen von Elva La Guardia - Palmas, Kastagnetten und der kraftvolle Rhythmus ihrer Füße begleiten nicht nur die Flamencostücke, sondern auch einige der frühbarocken Kompositionen. So wird bspw. das Instrumentalstück »Jácaras« von Gaspar Sanz mit dem Flamencorhythmus der bulerias unterlegt, am Ende steigert es sich bis zu den markanten zapateados der Tänzerin. Aus diesen zahlreichen Begegnungen entstehen ungewohnte und mitreißende Momente. Eine wahrhaftige „Fiesta española“, auf der Laute und Barockgitarre gemeinsam mit Flamencogitarre und Cajon erklingen und auf der sich frühbarocke Melodien mit dem Klagegesang des Flamenco verbinden.

Once again Raumklang presents a fascinating programme allowing us to glimpse into the music of the 16th century. This time at the Spanish Court in Naples. Songs, Organ pieces, Dances, all played and sung expertly by members of Ensemble Oni Wytars. Many of these fine compositions sound extremely lyrical and modern for the time they were written.

Collection: Renaissance Subcollection: Historical InstrumentsWords were more important than music in the Italian 16th century and song was therefore a higher art form than instrumental music. Composers such as Cipriano da Rore who observed the natural speech rhythms were afforded the highest accolades.
Wordplay presents a collection of highly decorated vocal music in purely instrumental performance. The disc explores the role of the soloist in a period of music which has come to be defined by consort playing. In the two centuries that this repertoire covers the borrowing and reworking of the music of earlier composers was regarded as creative, original and even as an act of respect or homage.
The disc is structured around instrumental divisions on five famous songs of 16th century and one bass-dance tenor. The divisions are for recorder, bass viol or lute. In total 17 different instruments are used including three types of recorder, three types of lute, seven sizes of viol, and a chamber organ. All are precise copies of early Italian instruments including wide-bore recorders and sound-postless viols.
Central to Wordplay are the writings of Slyvestro Ganassi, a recorder and viol player in early 16th century Venice. In La Fontegara (1535) and Regola Rubertina (1545) Ganassi defines the aim of the instrumentalist as being to imitate a good singer, and describes two distinct ways of doing so.
The first is naturalistic - how to replicate the singer's tonal and dynamic variety exactly (on the recorder with varied breath pressure and alternative fingerings, on the viol with bow and finger vibrato etc).
The second involves study of the text and using trills (from suave quarter-tones to vivace wide major thirds) and elaborate divisions (with notated syncopations and rubato) to express the sense of particular words and emotions. Fifty years later, Dalla Casa, Bassano and Rognoni have developed a more idiomatic instrumental style and have more polished and formulaic passaggi.
All the pieces - though instrumentalists - use exclusively vocal originals, and all would pay more than lip service to Giovanni Bardi's precept: "Words are the soul, music but the body"
WordPlay is one of the first recordings made in York's newly opened National Centre for Early Music in the church of St Margaret, Walmgate.
