I have rarely had the opportunity to play six-part viol music. The only time I can think of was at a workshop or two where there happened to be six players left over after everyone else had been assigned to a session. I do remember it was glorious!
Lately I have been playing through some of the six-part music because I know that even if we were not sheltering in place I would still not get many chances to read it. I have been finding it some of the most satisfying music, partly because of the inspired writing and partly because a large ensemble sounds so "orchestral"! Some of the composers that MIDI files of six-part fantasias and pavans can be downloaded here are: William Byrd Charles Coleman John Coprario Alfonso Ferrabosco II Orlando Gibbons John Jenkins Thomas Lupo Thomas Tomkins John Ward William White |
