The Rose Consort of Viols will be participating in a special edition
of BBC Radio 3's 'In Tune', celebrating the music of Henry Purcell,
who may well have been born exactly 350 years ago on this date.
The performance is live, with a studio audience, and the Roses
will be playing a selection of Purcell's 3 and 4 part fantazias,
his Fantazia upon One Note, and the In Nomines in six and
seven parts.
The Rose Consort will be giving concerts and coaching consorts.

The Rose Consort of Viols, John Ward Consort Music
(c.1589 - 1638) 'Upon a Bank with Roses'
John Bryan, Alison Crum, Sarah Groser, Roy
Marks, Susanna Pell, Peter Wendland
John Ward, set by Mace between two Italian composers,
appears not to have been a professional musician. Born
in Canterbury around 1589, he was a chorister in the
cathedral 1597-1604, a King's Scholar at Canterbury
Grammar School 1604-7, and then followed his father
into the employment of the noble courtier Sir Henry
Fanshawe, the Remembrancer of the Exchequer to the King,
in London and at Ware Park in Hertfordshire. Sir Henry,
according to his daughter-in-law Lady Anne, was
»a great lover of
music, and kept many gentlemen that were perfectly well
qualified both in that [music] and in the Italian tongue«. There is no record
of Ward's employment as a musician, and references to
him as a gentillman suggest that he was maintained in
some other capacity, quite possibly as a secretary.
