We Say...
Fretwork is yet another of England's top-shelf Early Music groups. As the name implies, they're built around fretted instruments, especially the family of bowed strings known as viols — fretted cousins of the violin and cello. (The lute makes a couple of cameos as well.) In Nomine is a collection of 16th-century English music for the viol consort; with its silvery sheen and its independent but often intertwining parts, it was a favorite medium for composers of the day. Fretwork delivers lovely performances of music by well-known composers like William Byrd and John Taverner, and overlooked gems by Christopher Tye and both Alfonso Ferraboscos — the Italian-born composer/spy and his illegitimate but wholly English son. Also sprinkled throughout are the complete consort pieces of Thomas Tallis, which alone are worth the price of admission. This is a peculiarly English corner of the music world, and Fretwork are, as the Brits like to say, to the manor born.
