Gareth Moorcraft has released a new work for a trio of period instruments - recorder, viola da Gamba, and lute - with a modern ensemble (fl. cl. perc. celesta (+synth) harp vln. db.) Alternative views from history. is a suite of arrangements, transcriptions, and free 'recompositions' based on Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque-era models. It was composed, workshopped and recorded at the Royal Academy of Music, London, in 2021.
The music was developed in close collaboration with Tabea Debus (recorder), Kate Conway (viol) and Toby Carr (lute), who demonstrated the period instruments so brilliantly in workshops and helped to find the best solutions for Gareth's ideas.
