About this product
Hardly any gambist was as famous in the middle of the 17th century as William Young. Emperors and kings held him in high esteem. His contemporaries celebrated him as the new Orpheus, and even decades after his death, he was still considered one of the best gambists that Europe had ever had. And few gambists were so thoroughly forgotten as William Young, despite his extensive, extraordinary, and stylistically extremely diverse oeuvre. This discrepancy alone was reason enough for gambist Juliane Laake and her ensemble Art d'Echo to focus all attention and dedication on Young's work. It quickly became apparent that Young who seemingly came out of nowhere when he became employed at the Archduke's Court in Innsbruck in 1652 - neither his year of birth nor any other facts of his earlier life are known - was a wayfarer between the worlds and times. His compositions were refreshingly casual and played with the different musical styles and trends of his time a wonderfully unconventional and still largely unacknowledged field of experimentation, a musical world of it's own that is off the beaten track and is difficult to classify in the usual categories. The album at hand contains a cross section of Young's work, taken from his only known sheet music print or from manuscripts from all over Europe. Several of the compositions are recorded for the very first time here.

The Inchpromotion of the worship of God and German loyalty, cultivation and improvement of the German language and poetryInch was the goal of the so-called Pegnitz-Schäfer, formulated in baroque floweriness. The poets' association, based in Nuremberg and named after the river Pegnitz there, was progressive in one respect, however women could also become members. Gertraud Möller was the best known of them in her time, and was even crowned Inchpoeta laureataInch in 1671. The poet, who came from Königsberg, took the opportunity to compile an extensive collection of her works, which were printed under the title Parnaß-Blumen. Much of this magnificent collection of poems was set to music by Möller's Königsberg composer friend Johann Sebastiani, just as magnificently for singing voices with instrumental accompaniment. Alternating between touching love and mourning songs and pointed caricatures, Wunderkammer and Aelbgut's selection presents the plump baroque reality of life with haunting intensity. Album Tracks 1.
