EnglishSweete Musicke of Sundrie KindesIn the 1530s the Bassano brothers of Venice wererecommended to the court of King Henry VIII (14911547) as musicians, composers and instrument makers.In correspondence withthe English court HenryVIII’s Venetian ambassador Edmund Harvel (d.ca.1550) wrote: ‘They arefour brethren, all excellentand esteemed above allothers in this city in theirvirtue. Whereby I hopethey shall be very gratefulBassano makers’ markto the King’s HighnessTenor recorderand to Your LordshipThe Metropolitan Museum of Art,who is also delighting inNew Yorkgood music, not vulgarlynor in vulgar music, as I understood. Besides, it shall beno small honour to His Majesty to have music comparable with any other prince or perchance better and morevariable. And because these men are poor and couldnot set forwards in so costly a journey without help ofmoney as well for their own costs as for conveyance oftheir instruments and other necessaries, I have deliveredthem 160 crowns of gold .’.King Henry VIII himself showed a live-lasting passion for music and was particularly accomplished oninstruments including lute, harpsichord, recorder, fluteand virginals, and would often entertain the court bysinging and performing his own compositions.It is difficult to track the exact year that the Bassanobrothers first arrived at Henry’s Court in London. They8seem to have travelled back and forth starting in 1531before finally settling in England in 1539. The Bassanosfounded a consort of five recorders, being joined in 1550by Augustine Bassano (d.1604) to form a six-memberconsort that was manned principally by their offspringuntil the unification of wind consorts into one groupin the 1630s.The repertory of this ‘royal recorder consort’ consistedof fantasias as well as dances and instrumental arrangements of motets and madrigals. The consort, as Augustine Bassano specified in a document from 1564, was‘bounden to give daily attendance upon the Queen’sMajesty’. Consorts provided entertainment and musicfor a wide variety of court activities, and provided occupation for many professional musicians and composers.In the theatre, where consort music was frequentlyperformed, instrumentation would often be used according to symbolic associations of particular instruments. Strings, including viols and violins, representedharmony, unity or agreement; reed instruments hadmagical associations and were regularly involved in evilacts; the soft and sweet sound of flutes or recorders, occasionally referred to as ‘still music’, suggested to symbolise scenes linked to supernatural events or sometimesdeath.In his allegorical epic poem The Faerie Queene, writtenin praise of Queen Elizabeth I between 1590 and 1596,the English poet Edmund Spenser (ca.1552-1599) includes the following verse:And all the while sweete Musicke did applyHer curious skill, the warbling notes to play,To driue away the dull Melancholy;The whiles one sung a song of loue and iollity.

and virtuosic variations upon well-known songs andground basses. The popular tune Browning frequentlyserved as the basis for instrumental variations entitledThe Leaves be greene, The Nutts be browne or BrowningMadame. The original song contains the following text:The leaves bee greene,the nuts be browne;thay hange soe highethay will not come downe.Byrd wrote a set of twenty variationsupon the Browning melody using thetune in all five voices including intricateinteractions of imitative motives andchanges of rhythmic proportions.Byrd’s teacher Thomas Tallis servedas an organist at Dover Priory andCanterbury Cathedral before obtaining an appointment as Gentleman ofthe Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace inLondon in 1543. Most of his keyboardmusic and partsongs has been preservedin a manuscript anthology compiled byThomas Mulliner between 1550 and1560, which is known as the MullinerBook. The lamenting song When shall mySorrowful Sighing slack? is included as akeyboard solo work and a 4-part settingin this compilation also appears in a fewother manuscripts.Similar to the poetry and music ofmedieval troubadours, Edmund Turgesincludes the courtly love theme of refusal and abandonment in his song Alas itis I that wott nott to say. Practically noth10ing is known about the life of Turges, a composer activeduring the reign of Henry VII (1485-1509) except forthe fact that he joined the Fraternity of St Nicholas, aLondon Guild of Parish Clerks, in 1469. Since 1274 theParish Clerks were primarily concerned with worship inchurch and occasionally with the education of children. Alas it is I that wott nottto say is included in the Fayrfax Book,a compilation manuscript from circa1505, named after the composer RobertFayrfax (1464-1521).During the reign of Queen Elizabeth(1558-1603) melancholy became fashionable among intellectuals and artistsWilliam Byrd,: BrowningOxford Mus 984 fol 68in England and was not only considered one of the humours at the time butalso turned out to be a source of creative inspiration. Dowland published hislute solo work Semper Dowland, semperDolens in an arrangement for five violsand lute in Lachrimæ or Seaven Teares(London, 1614). The solo version canbe found under various titles in different lute manuscripts and differs significantly with the consort version.According to the English lutenistand musicologist Diana Poulton, JohnDowland might have been inspired bya passage from The Diary of John Manningham, a recordbook kept by theyoung lawyer Manningham (d.1622)covering the period from January 1602to April 1603. On December 7, 1602John Dowland: Lachrimae, or SeavenManningham writes: ‘Doleo quia semTeares, London, 1605per dolens dolero nescio. Quo modo nisi

It is difficult to track the exact year that the Bassano brothers first arrived at Henry’s Court in London. They seem to have travelled back and forth starting in 1531
