From the York Early Music Online Festival, Richard Boothby performs 17th-century lyra viol music.
What was a lyra viol? Not so much a particular instrument, but more a style of solo playing that often included re-tuning the viol to allow its tone to ring out in a wide range of sonorous chords. Richard Boothby explores this fascinating aspect of 17th-century English music-making, in a programme that presents dance suites and sets of variations from leading composers of the time, from Alfonso Ferrabosco and John Dowland to those working for Charles I and during the Civil War, including William Lawes and John Jenkins.
Presented by Hannah French.
