Biblical texts of lamentation were embraced by composers of the late Renaissance for their artistic and expressive potential. But in Portugal – a kingdom without a king, it”s people governed by a foreign power – such settings gave life, as well, to a rich expression of covert political commentary. Rory McCleery”s ongoing interest in this field of polyphony bears fruit for the first time in a groundbreaking programme. Many of these Portuguese composers are known, if at all, for a very few pieces. Once again, McCleery and his Consort make a clarion call for music that deserves, and with their advocacy should now receive, far wider recognition. Taking it”s name from the Blessed Virgin Mary, a focus of religious devotion in the sacred music of all ages, The Marian Consort is a Gramophone Award-nominated and internationally renowned early music vocal ensemble, recognized for it”s dynamic freshness of approach and innovative presentation of a broad range of repertoire. Under it”s founder and director, Rory McCleery, this ”astounding” ensemble has given concerts throughout the UK and Europe, features regularly on BBC Radio 3, and is a former ”Young Artist” of The Brighton Early Music Festival.
