This 2-CD recording features the complete English vocal works for 4 and 5 voices with continuo by George Jeffreys, showing him to be the forgotten composer of the English 17th century. This one-time organist to Charles I fused the Italian madrigal with English church music, creating a unique style and bringing the baroque to British shores.

This is the second of a series of location-specific Solomon’s Knot recording projects. It was made at Kirby Hall in Northamptonshire, where George Jeffreys lived and worked for the Hatton family. Thanks to the kind permission of English Heritage, and the generous donations of so many of our supporters, we have the great pleasure of bringing his music back into the light.
