Description:

Over thirty years ago, Fretwork made its first recording â?? well, technically speaking it was the second album to be recorded, but the first to be released â?? and it was called â??In nomineâ??, which consisted mainly of 16th-century examples of this remarkable instrumental form. While this isnâ??t an anniversary of that release, this record looks back to that first release and forward, to bring the genre up to date. There were several examples of the In nomine and related forms that couldn't be and weren't recorded in 1987, and this album seeks to complete the project. -

Over thirty years ago, Fretwork made it's first recording - well, technically speaking it was the second album to be recorded, but the first to be released - and it was called 'In nomine', which consisted mainly of 16th-century examples of this remarkable instrumental form. While this isn't an anniversary of that release, we want to look both back to that first release and forward, to bring the genre up to date. There were several examples of the In nomine and related forms that we didn't or couldn't record in 1987, and this album seeks to complete the project. The form was created unwittingly by John Taverner (1490-1545). His 6-part mass, Gloria tibi Trinitas, is based on the plainchant of that name. In the Sanctus, at the words Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini (Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord), the six-part texture is pared down to two and three parts; and then, with the words in nomine Domini, Taverner makes, for the only time in the mass, a complete statement of the cantus firmus, accompanied by three voices. This four-parts section - very beautiful as it is - must have struck contemporaries as some kind of perfection, to be used as a template, to be emulated and copied. And then those copies were copied and changed again.
