- The traditional song Greensleeves, reconstructed from the earliest renaissance lute manuscripts, Molly Netter, soprano. Accompanied by the Voice of the Viol viola da gamba consort.
Elisabeth Reed, Farley Pearce and William Skeen, Elizabethan viols, & David Tayler, lute.
The Voice of the Viol is a program of Voices of Music, directed by Elisabeth Reed.
Elizabethan viols
Voices of Music is developing programs for two consorts of viols, one from the Elizabethan period (which you will hear tonight) and an early renaissance consort from around the year 1500 to perform works published by Petrucci, the first music publisher, and his contemporaries.
The late renaissance Elizabethan viols are primarily based on the work of John Rose, who was famous by the 1550s for his “vyalls” and other instruments. Although these instruments were from the middle of the century, only the later instruments survive, and it is not known if Rose’s style changed over the years, so these instruments either reflect the practice as early as the 1550s or, more likely, as late as the 1590s, although the changes may have been minor over the years. Notably, the design of the Amati violins from roughly the same time period changed very little. The Rose workshop parallels Elizabeth’s reign as queen, and so these instruments are an excellent choice for this repertory. The English court imported a great many Italian instruments beginning with the reign of Henry VIII, but the Rose instruments were considered preeminent for the viols, even as the lutes and recorders were mainly sourced from Italy and Germany.
For the renaissance ideal, the consort was conceived of as a matched set, and all the instruments played tonight were made by one builder, Wesley Brandt, using similar patterns, techniques and timbers based closely on historical models. The close matching gives the ensemble a unique sound and is essential for consort music.
Another major difference to the baroque instruments is the strings: wire-wound strings emerged circa 1660 and were unknown to the musicians of the renaissance and early 17th century. Without the “overspun” strings the sound of the instrument and its overtones are markedly different, especially in terms of greater transparency, and this enables each individual part in the early English viols to be heard clearly. Importantly, with wire wound strings, bowed instruments are louder in the bass register, but unwound strings have the opposite, softer sound. In addition, there is no register change as the player crosses strings with the bow: all the strings are the same. Lastly, the early English viols had soundboards that were made of very thin, parallel strips of wood that were heated and bent under tension, so they are similar to a drum: this process of tempering and tensioning the soundboard changes the harmonics of the viol.
Entrenched in a multitude of styles from an early age, Canadian-American soprano Molly Netter enlivens complex and beautiful music both old and new. Noted for her “natural warmth” (LA Times) and “clear, beautiful tone” (NY Times), Molly’s voice can be heard on five Grammy nominated albums since 2017.

This is EXACTLY how I imagine "Greensleeves" being played in the court of Tudor England. As always, Voices of Music manages to recreate *authentic* period performances that brings the listener back centuries to another era...
Suddenly, we are somewhere else, at another time. This is a musical TARDIS that brings us into the past, for a few magical minutes.
Blessed, the unknown author of this exquisite melody.
Blessed, the musicians that make it alive after so many centuries.
Blessed, the listeners as it touches their hearts.
Legend says the 'unknown' author is HENRY VIII 😮 Cheers .
Это произведение прошло сквозь века...какая божественная красота и простота мелодии,какое дивное звучание голоса и прекрасная девушка ,очень красивая перенесла нас в путешествие во времени....
А инструменты какие чудесные,браво музыкантом,вы передали атмосферу древности и навеяли тембральную ностальгию
Wow, that's deep 💖
@@mariapiazza-od8ib Interesting, and haven't heard of that before... but it seems disputable, as far as Wikipedia claims. Any other sources on that?
@@mariapiazza-od8ib It may go back that far, but it first appeared in the Stationer's Register in 1580 as 'A New Northern Dittye of the Lady Greene Sleeves.' In any case, another beautifully tasteful offering from the VOM!
Voices of music never disappoints
They really are incredible!
It sould be hard to do this so (so much) popular song without falling into something "to much".

What are “renaissance strings” actually made of? (Is it cat gut?)
No cats!
Is there any CD to purchase those recordings?
We have some CDs but mainly now we do the free videos :) voicesofmusic.org/cds.html
Amazing performance 🎉though, I have a question;at the beginning oh the piece, I've heard a minor -key version.Which one is the original?
This is the original.
GREENSLEEVES
(poss. by Henry VIII of England, 1500's.)
Alas, my love, you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
For I have loved you well and long
Delighting in your company
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady greensleeves
Your vows you've broken, like my heart
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now I remain in a world apart
But my heart remains in captivity
Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu
To God I pray to prosper thee
For I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady greensleeves
:)
I don't care about green sleeves story or history because I don't know about it, but what you did there is awesome music and preforming .
:)
Is the one singing an angel?
:)
What's the beautiful voice, sound like philharmoniker gold coins pouring down from the heaven, in middle of the world inflation crisis,
It is said that Henry VIII composed this song and melody. If that is true, I suppose he wasn't totally wicked.
