English Secular Music of the Late Renaissance

Here's another fascinating, rewarding presentation of Oulde Musicke, by turns jolly and melancholy.

I particularly like the "Cries," which are merchant or other everyday voices competing for attention.

This LP came out in 1969.

I was put out by the scratches on the LP cover, so I reworked another photo of the cover sculpture.

Here are the tracks:

01.  Cryes of London - Thomas Weelkes (9:58)

02.  Hey Down a Down - Anonymous  (1:22)

03.  Weep Mine Eyes - Thomas Vautor (4:21)

04.  Alman a 4 - Thomas Tomkins (1:58)

05.  Since Robin Hood - Thomas Weelkes  (1:11)

06.  Rustic Lovers - Thomas Ravenscroft (3:20)

07.  Do Not Repine - Orlando Gibbons (8:04)

08.  Thule - Thomas Weelkes (4:25)

09.  Sing - Martin Peerson (1:53)

10.  Take Heed of Time - Anonymous  (1:49)

11.  Country Cries - Richard Dering (5:47)

Also included are scans of the complete original LP notes.
