On the Morley Canzonets, she says: In 1595, Thomas Morley published his Canzonets for Two Voices. Some texted and some not, these two-voice madrigals and fantasies fit on all sorts of instruments, including recorders. We’ll play a selection of these duets with attention to the principles of Renaissance phrasing and articulation.

The music will be played with C instruments.
