This edition features original Renaissance wind-band music played on cornetts and sackbuts. The “cornett” referred to is not the modern brass instrument similar to a trumpet, but a woodwind instrument with a mouthpiece similar the modern trumpet. The sackbut is a predecessor of the trombone and appears very similar to the modern trombone, except it typically does have as much piping and has a smaller bell. The music you will hear on today’s edition was written by the Italian composer Alfonso Ferrabosco, who lived from 1543 to 1588. For a while, he worked and lived in England and is credited with bringing the madrigal to England.
For information about the cornet (modern brass instrumet) and trumpet.
