gaspard Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Hey, I was hoping it would be okay to put some of my recordings that are not compositions here. I play early keyboards, so harpsichord and clavichord. Here’s a sample: 2 Quote
Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago Hi @gaspard! Nice performance. I always get fascinated by early instrument performance with lots of ornaments. The Virginal is a beauty both for its acoustic and its look. English music was much more colorful than the Ars Perfecta back then. Thx for sharing! Henry 1 1 Quote
gaspard Posted 1 hour ago Author Posted 1 hour ago (edited) thanks @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu - yeah, English renaissance was very colorful and actually had a pretty big range of expression from the silly character pieces to some of the serious monoliths. Sometimes I get upset that I discovered it so late. Edited 1 hour ago by gaspard 1 Quote

Yeah William Byrd's music is so colorful! The false relation in English Renaissance is very espressive. And I always like how Dufay is influenced by Dunstable with all the uses of 3rds and Faxbourdon texture. Basically the English are the one who pushes the history forward from the era of octaves and fifths to thirds by moving that overtone series one step further. Henry Quote
