Ain't Misbehavin'

The three women and two men of this Dutch classical ensemble open this recording with 6 sixteenth-century works by the Dutch composer Sweelinck (though written in French, the courtly language of the time). Two "chanson" by Debussy follow, and then selections by Poulenc and Britten, both twentieth-century composers; as is characteristic of modern music, the harmonic progressions can be something of a non-sequitur, depending on your point of view! For dessert, five close harmony arrangements, including "Besame Mucho," "My Romance" (as arranged by Puerling) and of course, "Ain't Misbehavin'". A rich and satisfying tapestry of sound.

Rossini’s “Little Solemn Mass, ” which the composer famously called “neither little, nor more than intermittently solemn,” was nevertheless a great success at its premiere in Paris on March 14, 1864, by which time the famous opera composer was already long “retired,” though he continued to write in non-operatic genres. Rossini was 71 when he wrote it, and it was to be his last large composition. The other small songs and piano pieces he created were published under the ironic title of Péchés de vieillesse – “Sins of My Old Age.” The first version was scored for two pianos, harmonium, and twelve voices and did not yet include the “O Salutaris” for soprano solo which was added later. Within three years Rossini had responded to requests for an orchestration; this version for large ensemble was not given until after the composer’s death, at the Théâtre Italien in Paris, on February 24, 1869. The Quink Vocal Ensemble is one of the best vocal groups in the world. Their repertoire includes a cappella works ranging from the early Renaissance to contemporary music. Quink has toured the U.S. at least once a year since 1985 and recorded many albums for Telarc.


Benjamin Britten

Hymn To Cecilia
Five Flower Songs
Sacred And Profane
A Wealden Trio: The Song Of Women - Ford
The Sycamore Tree - Trad.
A Shepard's Carol - Auden

Acclaimed Dutch singers perform beautifully the unaccompanied choral works of Britten. Sung with intimacy and clarity the five voices of this top notch ensemble showcases these compositions in a different setting than the usual large choir performances of these works. Recommended.

Folk songs exist in all countries and come from all centuries, whether in the form of lullabies, love songs or narrative ballads. These songs reflect our societies and diverse cultures. The Quink Vocal Ensemble has captured some of these songs from Europe, the United States and Israel. A number of them were arranged by classical composers such as Ralph Vaughn Williams who actively collected and studied folk songs and Arnold Schoenberg, best known for his less tonal works, set texts from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries to create works that rival the best Renaissance madrigals. This CD brings together a quite varied but interesting group of songs.

On Invisible Cities, Quink Vocal Ensemble perform unusual and striking a cappella repertoire. The performances heard on this recording make up a rare collection of the music of twentieth century Dutch composers. This release contains works rooted in Gregorian chant as well as pieces influenced by the atonal and twelve-tone compositions of this century.


Renaissance Madrigals

Alla Dlce ombra
Dura Legge D'Amor
Lo Non Son Pero Morto
Datemi Pace
Vezzosi Augelli
Baci, Soavi E Cari
Lo Mi Son Giovinetta
Si Ch'io Vorrei Morire
O Selce, O tigre, O Ninfa
Mori Mi Dici
Tirsi Un Giorno Piangea
Pupilette Amorose
Piangete, Occhi Dolenti
Clori Son Fido Amante

From about 1520 to about 1620 the Italian madrigal, which refers to almost any musical setting of secular verse (but especially those whose subject is love and death) of two to eight voice parts, had its brief but brilliant lifetime. Quink, (Kees-Jan de Koning, bass, Harry van Berne, tenor, Paula de Wit, soprano, Machteld van Woerden, soprano, and Corrie Pronk, alto) since its debut in 1978 has established its reputation and following on the international concert scene. "Renaissance" features 14 madrigals, one by Cipriano de Rore, four by Giaches de Wert, three by Claudio Monteverdi, two by Alessandro Scarlatti and four by Alessandro Stradella. The liner notes contain bios of these men, and the words of all the songs in Italian and English. Beautiful harmonies!

English Madrigals

Now Is The Month Of Maying
Farewell, Disdainful
No, No Nigella
Why Should I Grieve?
Sweet Phylida
Phyllis, Now Cease To Move Me
Too Much I Once Lamented
Those Sweet Delightful Lilies
Phyllis, Farewell
Come To Me Grief, Forever
Come, Woeful Orpheus
Fair Phyllis I Saw
Weep, Weep, Mine Eyes
(1st Part)I Fall, I Fall, O Stay Me
(2nd Part) And though my love abounding
Adieu, Sweet Amaryllis
The Nightingale, The Organ Of Delight
Hark, All Ye Lovely Saints

Between 1588 and 1627, the isolation of English musical culture was broken by the influx of Italian music and composers, and during this period a beautiful collection of Madrigals with English words and composers was created. The acclaimed Quink Vocal Ensemble (Kees-Jan de Koning, bass, Harry van Berne, tenor, Paula de Wit, soprano, Machteld van Woerden, soprano, and Corrie Pronk, alto) bring us 18 perfectly-recorded madrigals from this period, three from Thomas Morley, two from Francis Pilkington, two from Thomas Tomkins, two from Thomas Bateson, two from William Byrd, one from John Farmer, four from John Wilbye, and two from Thomas Weelkes. This music is bright and romantic, with a lively grace and harmonic clarity, the result of probably the first English musical "craze!"

A Dutch quintet, Quink performs both classical works and lighter, contemporary material. The 26 carols featured here are, as the CD's title implies, indeed culled from many Western traditions, though primarily English, French and German, and include the contemporary, as well as the timeless. Charles Ives' "A Christmas Carol" is a quietly lilting 3/4; Walton's "What Cheer" is a herald of joyous news, a musical announcement. The Polish "Berceuse" has a rocking motion, derived from its repeating major second interval. Favorites include "Deck The Hall," "In The Bleak Midwinter" and "The Cherry Tree Carol." Two delicate Bach works round out this understated and soothing CD.
