description
Alfonso Ferrabosco Jr was the son of an Italian musician who had worked at the court of Elizabeth I, where he composed mostly madrigals but also sacred pieces and instrumental works. He received an English upbringing and a full musical training and, like his father, held an official position at Court, composing madrigals and sacred music; one of his collaborators was the notable playright Ben Johnson. He gained a solid reputation as a violist and as a composer of instrumental works for viol and consort of viols. Alfonso Ferrabosco Jr was the first to compose music which was entirely dedicated to the lyra viol. The lyra viol was a typical English instrument of the viola da gamba family mounted with six gut strings; more than fifty different tunings are documented, Ferrabosco using three of them. Among his output are the Lessons for 1, 2 and 3 viols, which include the works for solo lyra viol, collected here for the first time as a monograph edition and recorded by Paolo Biordi.
