Musical Delights at the Court of Elizabeth I of England; or, an anthology of polyphonic music in two, three, and four parts performed by a consort of dulcians, lute, harpsichord, and the human voice. Elizabeth I, crowned in 1558, extended her long reign until 1603 and supported England during a fortunate and important period in its history—politically, religiously, commercially, and culturally. Like her father, Henry VIII, she loved music, playing the lute and lyre herself and surrounding herself with up to 70 musicians at court. Music was often associated with the theatrical performances of geniuses such as Shakespeare and Marlow. The dulciana (curtal) was introduced to England in the first three decades of the 16th century, likely by the Venetians Bassano, inventors of an instrument: the bassone corto (curtal), as can already be seen in two inventories from 1542 and 1547 dating back to the court of Henry VIII: "...13 short instruments caulked Dulceuses..." In the 16th century, many documents testify to the use of this instrument in England, which was integrated into wind instrumental groups (Waits), similar to other similar ensembles on the European continent, and intended for use at court and in public ceremonies. The refined sound of the dulciana in its various sizes used here—bass, but also soprano, contralto, and tenor—ideally complements both the voice and instruments essential to harmony and counterpoint, such as the lute and harpsichord. Most English composers of the time wrote vocal and instrumental music for both sacred and secular use. In so-called consort music, it was common practice to perform polyphonic pieces for four or more voices with a homogeneous ensemble of instruments. This is a rare sound document that illustrates their timbre on dulcians. Also of interest is the possibility of performing some fantasias for two basses, originally intended for the viola d'gamba, on the dulcian, which offers a sound that highlights the singable and melancholic component but also the rhythmic and witty one typical of the flexibility of this wind instrument, a forerunner of the modern bassoon.
The timbral refinement of the different musical ensembles present on this disc is enhanced by the extraordinary quality of the recording, carried out in the large Velut Luna studios in Preganziol using high-resolution digital technology.

The pants are of excellent quality
Size: XX-Large, Color: Mauve/Apples
The pants are of excellent quality, made from thick material that feels very warm. By comparison, the long-sleeve T-shirt is thinner and not as warm as the pants.

I was delighted with the quality and color
Size: X-Small, Color: Lilac
This is a super cute, and frankly, fairly high fashion little hoodie. The price was great for what it is. Really nice soft (terry?) inside. Double fabric hood. Really soft. It has an oversized cut which makes it easy to get on and off, but is just the right length to make the sizing look great and intentional - it doesn't look too big. I love the color. It's high quality, and I didn't notice any shrinkage. Even the hood is cut in a chic way. Not your average kids' hoodie.
