This programme reflects the full flavour and richness of English music and the instrumental and vocal repertory it inspired in Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The rhythmic impulse of this repertory - sometimes making use of ostinato - culminates in the grounds, jigs, contredanses and so on that were all the rage at the time and led to the publication of John Playford’s collection The English Dancing Master in 1651. Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien, showing their familiarity with early sources from England, Scotland and Ireland, also emphasise the melodic aspect of these dances, which in the course of time became sung airs - the soprano Fiona McGown and the baritone Enea Sorini complete a colourful instrumentarium. Finally, the light-hearted dimension of entertainment is present everywhere in this repertory, which was popular in the sense that it was universally practised at the time, achieving a fame that spread far beyond the British Isles.

Quelle chanteuse. Merci aux musiciens de saint Julien

[@switzerlandful]

That was surprisingly beautiful!

[@switzerlandful]

One reason I this piece is exceptional is that it stands out as very elegant and proper and the words are understandable (Loreena McKennit is astonishingly beautiful but it is difficult to understand the lines she sings when she sang this one).

Wonderful music. I really love the album. The video is beautiful, I'd very much prefer it with smaller subtitles if any.

[@arnaudcocaul1091]

Merci infiniment pour cette découverte et qu'elle chanteuse

Belle musique! Faites-la connaitre!

[@mclarsj]

Marvellous performance! I only knew it from a band called" Horslips". But it was an instrumental 'folky' style. This is really great also.

[@YavorArseniev]

Marvellous! Thoroughly enjoying the performances, but I'm quite confused as to why mademoiselle Boulanger is playing standing up.
