Product Description

Dive into the intricate world of Renaissance music with Thomas Morley's "Fantasies to Two Voices," a captivating collection of nine instrumental pieces released on April 28, 2020, under Astres Records.

Each track, from the melancholic "Il doloroso" to the lively "La caccia," offers a unique glimpse into the musical styles and techniques of the era. Morley, an English composer and organist, was known for his contributions to madrigals and keyboard music, but his "Fantasies to Two Voices" demonstrate his prowess in instrumental composition as well. The album is a testament to his ability to blend technical skill with expressive depth, creating pieces that are both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant.
