STUART AGE MUSIC (TUNES FROM TROUBLED TIMES) - SIRINU

This successful re-enactment ensemble brings “music from troubled times” – the arrival of the Scottish Kings, Catholicism and civil war. “Tunes from Troubled Times” brings to you songs and dances from the era of the Suart Monarchs; a period of bloody civil war, colourful kings and the lust for life of the common people. Songs and dances are included, from the spectacular court masques, harp music from the Scottish Castles and folk music for bagpipes, hurdy-gurdy, and pipe and tabor from the village green. Sirinu round off their recording with broadside ballads – topical stories sold in markets and fairs which were the tabloids of the age.

Medley: The Whim, Bobbing Joe, Goddesses, Red House, Grimstock 
When the king enjoys his own again 
Gather ye rosebuds William Lawes 
Johney cock thy beaver 
I wish I were where Helen lies 
The witches 
Fairest isle Henry Purcell 
I serve a worthie lady 
Martin said to his man 
La Folia, division on a ground 
No more shall meads Nicholas Lanier 
Green grows the rushes 
Tomorrow the fox will come to town 
Frog’s galliard 
The jolly barber 
Greensleeves to a ground
A masque 
The Queen’s masque 
The saint turned sinner 
Daphne 
No, no, fair heretic William Lawes 
Medley: Heart’s ease, Cuckolds all in a row, Hockley in the hole
