Composer:
William Lawes

Artist(s):
Hesperion XX

Conductor:
Jordi Savall

Background: Tireless in his task or rediscovering English music, Jordi Savall offers a double CD of William Lawes' complete Consort Sets in Five & Six Parts. This allows the listener to savour the full bodied, voluptuous consort sound of his stunning ensemble Hesperion XXI in these pieces by this outstanding composer.

Aware of the technical possibilities of the instruments and the new sounds that could be achieved with the consort, Lawes did not hesitate to introduce innovations in his composition: dissonance, changing textures and colour, unexpected harmonic modifications in the melodic line, conceived with a great sense of the music's architecture.

These 5 and 6 part pieces exude great energy, written in the form of dance movements which compose a kaleidoscope of sounds and moods.
