There were two sides to Henry VIII’s musical employ-one was the trained musicians, the professional Court Composers such as Cornysh and Van Wilder, and the other consisted the “fools” or jesters who were comedians and popular singers, always at hand for the right mood, and some of whom became personal friends and confidants. This album focuses on the populist side, and features instrumental pieces, including of course, dances, and street ballads. 26 tracks display a lively variety of popular Court music as it might have been heard at Hampton Court or elsewhere in an afternoon after matters of State (and lunch in Henry’s case!) had been settled for the day. The selection includes pavans, almains, jigs and La Volta in dances, “broadside” ballads, fantasias and love songs, plus Henry’s own composition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnsemble Sirinu travel the world recreating this entertainment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSirinu: Sarah Stowe, Jon Banks, Henry Stobart, Matthew Spring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_480x480.png?v=1573053036\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWolsey’s Wilde - Trad. \u003cbr\u003eAnd I were a maiden - William Cornysh \u003cbr\u003eMy lady Carey’s Dump - Anon \u003cbr\u003eThe Night Watch - Anthony Holborne \u003cbr\u003eI besherew you - William Cornysh \u003cbr\u003eCarol - Anon \u003cbr\u003eEliza is the fairest Queen - Edward Johnson \u003cbr\u003eMedley\u003cbr\u003eI am a Jolly Foster - William Cornysh \u003cbr\u003eVotre trey dowce regaunt - Anon\u003cbr\u003eWe be three poor mariners pub.
