Musica Pacifica – Henry Purcell (1659-1695) - Pavan Recorded live at the Coal Seller’s Concert in Palo Alto, CA Oct. 31, 2008. Judith Linsenberg, recorder; Elizabeth Blumenstock, violin; David Morris, viola da gamba; Charles Sherman, harpsichord. With special guest Robert Mealy, violin and Peter Maund, percussion To view Musica Pacifica’s original videos, please also visit http://www.youtube.com/MusicaPacificaSF. Musica Pacifica achieved recognition as one of North America’s premiere baroque ensembles soon after the group’s founding in 1990. They have been described by the press as "some of the finest baroque musicians in America" (American Record Guide) and "among the best in the world" (Alte Musik Aktuell). At home in the San Francisco Bay area, the artists are members of Philharmonia Baroque and American Bach Soloists, and they appear with many other prominent early music ensembles nationally and abroad. They have collaborated with such early music luminaries as Stephen Stubbs (lute/guitar) and Maxine Eilander (harps); sopranos Ellen Hargis and Julianne Baird; countertenor and cornettist, Michael Collver; bassoonist Michael McCraw, and Baroque dancers Linda Tomko & Co. Musica Pacifica’s stylish, high-energy, and virtuoso performances have consistently received enthusiastic reviews from critics and audiences alike. These qualities have led to appearances on such prestigious chamber and early music concert series as Music Before 1800 and the Frick Collection (NY), Tage Alter Musik (Regensburg), the Shrine to Music Museum (Vermillion, SD), the Cleveland Art Museum, the Pittsburgh Renaissance and Baroque Society, the Seattle Early Music Guild, Milwaukee’s Early Music Now, the Houston Early Music Society, the Los Angeles County Museum, the San Diego Early Music Society, and the Cambridge Early Music Society (MA), among many others. They have three times been a featured ensemble at the Berkeley Early Music Festival, and their first appearance there was cited in Early Music (UK) as "perhaps the standout of the entire festival." They have performed at festivals in Germany and Austria and have been heard on German National radio as well as on National Public Radio’s "Performance Today" and "Harmonia." Musica Pacifica’s seven CD releases--Bach Trio Sonatas and a 2-CD set of Marais, Pièces en trio on Virgin/Veritas; Alessandro Scarlatti Concerti da camera, Mancini Concerti da camera, Telemann Chamber Cantatas and Trio Sonatas, Vivaldi La Notte: Concerti per strumenti diversi , and Fire Beneath My Fingers, on Dorian--have won national and international awards, including the highest ratings in several CD magazines and each one being chosen as "CD of the Month" by the early music journal Alte Musik Aktuell (Regensburg). Fire Beneath My Fingers was touted as “one off the most exciting Baroque recordings I’ve heard” on Audiophile Audition, and was a featured recording on Minnesota Public Radio. The Telemann CD, described by Early Music America Magazine as "superbly elegant . . . exemplifying the finest in historical performance today," won Chamber Music America and WQXR’s 2003 Record Award honoring the best chamber music recordings of the year. The Mancini recording was cited as a "Noteworthy Disc" in the 2000 International Antonio Vivaldi Awards for Italian Early Music in Venice--the only CD that year by a North American ensemble to receive the honor.

Fire Beneath My Fingers was touted as “one off the most exciting Baroque recordings I’ve heard” on Audiophile Audition, and was a featured recording on Minnesota Public Radio. The Telemann CD, described by Early Music America Magazine as "superbly elegant . . . exemplifying the finest in historical performance today," won Chamber Music America and WQXR’s 2003 Record Award honoring the best chamber music recordings of the year. The Mancini recording was cited as a "Noteworthy Disc" in the 2000 International Antonio Vivaldi Awards for Italian Early Music in Venice--the only CD that year by a North American ensemble to receive the honor.

Jonathan Dunford - La connerie
"When the viola da gamba is confronted and subsequently linked to a Macintosh computer and digital sounds of our time, it is not just a magnificent instrument from the past, but clearly shows it’s wealth in tone quality, and is an incredible source of contemporary creation."
About Jonathan Dunford
Jonathan Dunford has become one of the principal forces in bringing solo seventeenth century music for unaccompanied bass viol back to public attention.
For over two decades he has performed to great critical acclaim in packed concert halls worldwide for a public moved and enthusiastic of his musical quality and his control of the instrument. His regular performances at the musée de la musique in Paris have convinced the many neophytes of the single and unutterable charm of the viola da gamba. He has sounded his viol in the most various places: museums, theatres, castles, mills and churches.He is invited regularly to large festivals as well as musical associations.Besides his activity as a performer, Jonathan DUNFORD is an avid researcher : he has worked in libraries and archives in the whole world on unedited music for the viol. He has published editions of this music for the Cahiers du Tourdion of Strasbourg, the Société Française de Musicologie, and has written articles for various newspapers, magazines as well as the New Grove’s Dictionary. He has also participated in countless conferences and radio broadcasts on the viol. In 2004 he was appointed curator of viol music at the Centre de Musique Baroque in Versailles.The abundant discography of Jonathan DUNFORD, devoted primarily to unedited music for the viol for Adès - Universal Music Classics is unanimously greeted by critics with prizes such as the " diapason d’or " or the " choc de la musique ". We find him in diverse groups with a repertoire ranging from the 16th to 21st centuries : Renaissance Consort Music, Elizabethan Music with singers, baroque music as a solo player or in a small chamber group, traditional Chinese Music, or improvisations with the guitarist Fred Frith.He performs as a solo player with his group “A 2 Violes Esgales” who he founded with the violist Sylvia Abramowicz and plays as part of the group XVIII-21 (Jean Christophe Frisch) or the . Baroque orchestra Le Parnasse Français.He has lived in Paris since 1985 and greatly appreciates the charm of the « city of lights ».About Benjamin Morando
Having followed classical piano and violin study, Benjamin Morando becomes an iconoclast composer, harnessing electronic instruments to cultivate the musical fields with an energy only matched by his serious appetite for off-the-beaten tracks projects: Pentile, France Copland and Octet, whose first release was widely recognized by french and international publications (Le Monde, Libération, Les Inrockuptibles, Technikart, La Repubblica, Spex...).
He performed in France and abroad in Montréal, New York, Berlin, Milan, Londres, Tokyo and Copenhague. He signed remixes for Beck, Ennio Morricone, Stephan Eicher, TTC. He is one of the master minds behind the famous Dirty compilations, recognized by the critics as essentials in any respectable music collection.

]]>The Spirit of Gambo - a Chicago Consort of Viols - William Byrd (1543-1623) - My Mistress Had a Little Dog
My mistress had a little dog
Whose name was Pretty Royal
Who neither hunted sheep nor hog
But was without denial
A tumbler fine that might be seen
To wait upon a fairy queen.
Upon his mistress he would wait
In courteous wise and humble,
And with his craft and false deceit,
When she would have him tumble,
Of coneys in the pleasant prime,
He would kill twenty at a time.
The goddess which Diana hight
Among her beagles dainty
Had not a hound so fair and white
Nor gracéd with such beauty;
And yet his beauty was not such,
But his conditions were as rich.
But out, alas! I’ll speak no more.
My heart with grief doth shake;
This pretty dog was wounded sore
Ev’n for his mistress’ sake:
A beastly man or manly beast
Knocked out his brains and so I rest.
A trial royal! a trial!
Oyez! Oyez!
Ye hounds and beagles all,
If ye sat in Appleton Hall,
Would you not judge that out of doubt
Tyburn were fit for such a lout?

Out of the orient crystal skies
a blazing star did shine,
Showing the place where poorly lies
a blesséd Babe divine,
Born of a maid of royal blood,
who Mary hight by name,
A Sacred Rose which once did bud
by grace of heavenly flame;
This shining star three kings did guide,
even from the furthest East,
To Bethlehem where it betide
this blesséd Babe did rest,
Laid in a silly manger poor
betwixt an ox and ass,
Whom these three kings did all adore
as God’s high pleasure was;
And for the joy of his great birth
a thousand Angels sing:
"Glory and peace unto the earth,
where born is this new King."
The shepherds dwelling there about,
when they this news did know,
Came singing all even in a rout,
fa-lan-ti-ding-di-do.
