+ Lachrimae Consort

'Formed in 1999 by a group of early music enthusiasts in the Midlands area of the UK ... specialising in performing music written for the Elizabethan Consort of Six (treble viol, recorder, bass viol, bandora, cittern and lute) ... All of our musicians play in other ensembles or orchestras, but are brought together in Lachrimae by a love of the very special music composed for the Elizabethan "consort of six" during its brief, but very popular heyday, between 1575 and 1615.'
