Description:
A delightful collection of 17th century songs constructed around the major influence of the 4 seasons, showcasing enthusiasm for amateur music making. During the Commonwealth of England (c.1640-1660), music disappeared almost entirely from religious and court occasions. The use of instruments and music in churches was banned, and organs were destroyed by order of the regime - so the public turned to village and tavern musicians, country dances and new musical clubs for music making.
