About this product
What makes a piece of music difficult? This album introduces a pair of riveting, technically ambitious, historically important, and never-before-recorded polyphonic masses of the fifteenth century, performed by an ensemble that has developed a new approach designed to honor the music's variety and unflagging intensity. Both works stand out for their notational complexity. They are also exceptional for the skill they demand of the performers we find hair-raising rhythms, intricate counterpoint, and long melodic phrases. Rather than mitigate these challenges with a large ensemble and a generous acoustic, this recording enhances them the performances are one-on-a-part, featuring energetic tempi, close miking, and minimal reverberation. This approach is unforgiving-but together with bright vowels and a flexible vocal technique, it has the benefit of allowing the music to come across with uncommon directness and clarity.

Intimacy, intensity, passion-this album explores the unfamiliar idea that fifteenth-century songs might cause us to sigh, weep, or laugh out loud. In bringing to life a world in which crying in public was not just acceptable but required, we have to take seriously the crushing despair of a line like InchMy only sorrow is that I am not dead,Inch or the undisguised sarcasm of InchThis is how she chopped and cooked me up.Inch In Johannes Ockeghem's roughly two dozen songs we find not only unparalleled compositional prowess, but feelings that range from happiness to loss, anger to despair, and bitterness to merriment. The album's all-vocal, fully texted, close-mic'd performances are rooted in a flexible, full-blooded vocal technique that aims to capture the music's technical brilliance and emotional depth.
![Royal Swedish Navy Band - Teike: Marches, Vol. 1 - Alte Kameraden; Prinz-Albrecht-Marsch - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/010a7699-bb18-4afa-87ae-1c9e5bcfb22b.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Carl Teike's Alte Kameraden is one of the most popular marches in the world but surprisingly little is known of it's composer or the circumstances surrounding his compositions. This is the first volume in a comprehensive edition of Teike's marches, made with The Royal Swedish Navy Band conducted by Alexander Hanson.
The year was 1985. The reformation of Sweet was under way. I had been hanging out with Mick Tucker and we'd talked about putting together a InchnewInch Rock line-up of Sweet after the hiatus of the original band. I had recruited Phil Lanzon on keyboards and Mal McNulty on bass, now we needed the Voice! Paul Mario Day walked in and we looked no further. Paul was the original singer with Iron Maiden and had a stint with the band More before he joined Sweet.Our first dates were in Australia, total sell-outs which boded well for the future. Europe followed suit and 3 sold out nights at the original Marquee Club in London produced a live album, video and DVD. InchLive at the MarqueeInch did well in various charts around the world and Paul's vocal performance has stood the test of time.There were also tracks recorded at Pacific Studios in London which feature Paul's incredible vocals. These recordings were meant to be the start of a new phase for Sweet but due to a management dispute only 4 tracks were released. Sadly Paul is no longer with us but the legacy is right here for everyone to appreciate.Andy Scott
