Fantasias (8) for 5 violsFarewell, sweet woods and mountains
God is gone up
Hence stars too dim of light
Life tell me
O Lord of whom I do depend
O clap your hands
O give me the comfort of thy help again
Turn thy face
When David heard that Absalon was slain
When I lament
Now are my thoughts at peace

About
Both sacred and secular, these include so-called verse anthems with music alternating between solo sections (the ‘verse’) and the full choir, with an accompaniment provided either by organ or a consort of viols. But the viols also join in in the madrigals, following the description of the contents on the title page of East’s Fourth Set of Bookes: ‘apt for viols and voyces’. Regretting the lack of modern repertoire for this combination the performers have also commissioned a new piece by the composer Jill Jarman. Setting a verse by Sir Henry Wotton, a contemporary of East, Now are my thoughts at peace sums up the journey of the fantasias from Desperavi to Amavi, 400 years after they were written.
