Greene, M:After so long a race
Happy ye leaves
Faire Eyes
Ye tradefull merchants
The rolling wheele
The merry Cuckow
How long shall this like dying life endure
The Laurell leafe
Like as a ship
What guile is this
Arion
Sweet smile
Marke when the smiles
The Love which me so cruelly tormenteth
Trust not the treason of those smiling lookes
Fayre cruell
Faire ye be sure
Thrise happy she
After long stormes
Like as a huntsman
Fresh Spring
One day I wrote her name upon the strand
Lacking my love
Since I did leave the presence of my love
Like as the Culver
Benjamin Hulett (tenor), Luke Green (harpsichord) & Giangiacomo Pinardi (theorbo)
Popis
The distinguished English composer Maurice Greene was appointed Master of the King’s Music in 1735. He soon composed a series of 25 sonnet settings taken from the collection of 89 Amoretti (‘little loves’) written by Edmund Spenser, one of the greatest poets of the Shakespearean age. These settings show Greene to have been a master of word-painting technique, and a subtle colourist with a sensitive ear for Spenser’s verse. This jewel of a collection is also historically important, as it can be considered one of the earliest song cycles in the history of English music.
