Album Notes
Think of this as a sort of Baroque "concept" album, a thoroughly theatrical program which showcases a variety of early instruments played with skill and spirit and also compares continental showiness with contemporary English formality.
There's much fun in Biber's setting of a battle, at least until the ultimate lament. After a ramifying "Passacaglia" for archlute and a brief "Tune for the Woodlark" on flautino, Biber presents a fascinating musical menagerie with instrumentalists imitating nature in a mixture of merriment and elegance. The same composer's "Partia" is particularly fine proof of the variety in Baroque forms, many of them dance-based.
Locke's creation for an operatic adaptation of 'The Tempest' by fellow Englishman Shakespeare was written less than a century after the play and again features references to dance and dramatic evocation. But Locke is less ornate and imitative of nature and more involved with a formalized musical structure that evolves towards the classical form of the art.
