Cosmography of Polyphony

A Journey through Renaissance Music

Cosmography maps the universe, and here it charts the musical world of The Royal Wind Music. This album explores Renaissance music from England, Spain, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Flanders, with a few Baroque excursions. The repertoire spans three main areas: rich vocal polyphony, ensemble works, and imaginative arrangements of keyboard pieces, mainly for organ. With clarity, energy, and expressive detail, the ensemble guides listeners through the intricate landscapes of early European music.
