A Play of Passion

Theatrical Music for Dramatic Times

Daniel Moody, countertenor · Parthenia viol consort · William Simms, lute

  • Best Classical Solo Vocal Album

A portrait of an age reshaped by upheaval in religion, culture, and art, when royal patronage could make or break a composer. The program traces the free movement of ideas between England and the Continent, and between theater, song, and devotion.

Alongside Parsons, Purcell, Monteverdi, and their contemporaries are three premiere recordings commissioned by Daniel Moody from Elena Ruehr, Peter Knell, and Lowell Liebermann.
