Blake Neely - The Flash: Season 3 (Original Television Soundtrack) - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The decades around 1600 bore witness to the flourishing of a remarkable musical tradition the art of diminution, in which simple melodies were given exquisitely virtuosic embellishments, effectively creating new works. One such creation, Francesco Rognoni's ornamentation of Palestrina's Io son ferito, was captioned 'con arte e maestria' - with art and mastery - referring to the consummate craftsmanship displayed in it's invention and performance. Giving new life to this tradition was the inspiration for this unique programme alongside iconic works from the diminution canon, Monteverdi String Band members Oliver Webber and Steven Devine present newly ornamented versions of a selection of sixteenth- and early-seventeenth-century works.

2024 . Known for their unique blend of punk rock, post-punk, folk, alternative rock and all kinds of musical sub-cultures, New Model Army refuses to belong to any club or style. Formed in Bradford in 1980, the band's lineup has changed over the years, with Justin Sullivan being the constant and central figure. They have released numerous albums and continue to tour and record music, maintaining a dedicated fanbase. Their music often addresses themes related to social and political issues, personal struggles, and the human condition, making them a significant presence in the alternative rock and post-punk music scenes. Described as 'Dark Motown' by Justin himself, 'Unbroken' features a diverse collection of tracks that touch on topics ranging from social and political commentary to deeply personal reflections. The album is a powerful and emotionally intense body of work ranging from rebellious tracks as 'I Did Nothing Wrong', to contemplative songs like 'First Summer After'. With this album, the band continues to push the boundaries of their signature sound while staying true to the themes that have made them a force to be reckoned with in the music world. 'Unbroken' is the first studio album since 2019's long-player 'From Here' and the 16th studio album of the band.
