Ten fantasia-suites, for two treble viols, bass viol and organ, written early in the composer’s career, and fifteen fantasia-air sets, probably late productions, add to the significant corpus of music for viol consort by this outstanding seventeenth-century composer who inherited and expanded the tradition of instrumental fantasias handed down from Coprario and Lawes.
Recordings of the fifteen fantasia-air sets, performed by the Locke Consort, are available on the Channel Classics label.
