English Cornett and Sackbut Ensemble celebrate the Music of Renaissance London
This recording is representative of the music that was heard and played in London during what is rightly referred to as the 'Golden Age' of English music making. The sheer variety of music available from such a teeming and diverse metropolis is astonishing and this collection finds this specialist ensemble with guest vocalist, Mark Chambers (counter tenor) exploring the works of Anthony Holborne, William, Byrd, John Dowland, John Adson and Giles Farnaby among others.

The English Cornett and Sackbut Ensemble was formed in 1993 by London's leading young specialists on early brass instruments and is now one of the most respected ensembles in its field.  Following the success of their debut CD 'Accendo', The English Cornett and Sackbut Ensemble have continued to be involved in many exciting and innovative projects making world premiere recordings and collaborating with other leading period instrument groups.
