Notes

Following on from their debut release on Resonus – Music for Troubled Times (RE 0194) – The Ebor Singers, with director Paul Gameson, returns to the label with a companion album of music for Christmas from the time of the English Civil War.

With A Cavalier Christmas, the choir are joined by the Chelys Consort of Viols in exploring this fascinating, yet turbulent, period in music as Charles I sought to continue to observe the festive season in style, contrary to attempts by England’s Puritan- influenced parliament to ban such celebrations.

Reviews

“... And the performances here are good enough to show that this music by the likes of Lawes and Jeffreys is well worth being performed.”

MusicWeb-International.com

“In every way it is an outstanding release”

Yorkshire Post

“Orlando Gibbons’ anthem “See, see the Word is Incarnate” is magnificent, its severity offset by a sublime viol consort backing. Byrd’s unaccompanied “Behold I bring you glad tidings” is also beautiful. The instrumental numbers, immaculately played by the Chelys Consort of Viols, include a quirky work commemorating the 1644 Siege of Newark.”

The Arts Desk

“ ... A surprise seasonal hit for me ...”

BBC Radio 3 Record Review

“ ... the best of the bunch ... The Ebor Singers and the Chelys Consort of Viols combines fascinating repertoire with joyous, bustling musicianship”

Gramophone magazine

“... Fine singing and playing ...”

The Times

“... The programme was brilliantly executed and beautifully sung ...”
