The Turbulent Life and Times of Nicholas Lanier
The Turbulent Life and Times of Nicholas Lanier
Nicholas Lanier was the first Master of the King’s Music in the reign of Charles I (1625–1649). Internationally renowned as a lutenist, song writer and art expert he joined the dots between politics, poetry and art at one of the most culturally ambitious courts of the seventeenth century. His songs were collected and published for decades after his heyday. Lanier and his fellow court musicians experienced tumultuous times — their music reflects both the languid serenity of a Golden Age and sorrow at its destruction.
Alan Fellows, Ryland Angel, and friends ~ voice, viols, theorbo, and chamber organ.
