Strings of the Philharmonia Orchestra
(Leader. Max Salpeter )
Conducted by Walter Goehr
This is the first of three weekly programmes in which all Purcell's Fantasias (including the two In Nomines) will be played by a string orchestra in a version prepared from the original manuscripts by Walter Goehr in collaboration with Michael Tippett. The Fantasias, written when Purcell was twenty-one (and first published in 1927. in an edition by André Mangeot and Peter Warlock ), are generally believed to have been designed for a consort of viols, and it is probable that in the seventeenth, century such music was often performed with more than one player to a part. Later in the year it is hoped to broadcast the Fantasias in performances by solo strings. Harold Rutland

Although Isaak (c. 1450-1517) spent most of his hfe in Florence and Innsbruck it was his link with the cty of Constance that was commemorated in the title of the Choralis Constantinus , published several years after his death. This great collection of liturgical music was completed and ieen through the press by the composer's colleague and pupil Ludw:g Senft. Isaak's monumental work, which comprises music for Saints' Days, Feasts, and Sundays throughout the year, is the most comprehensive of its kind between the settings of Leonin in the twelfth century and those of Byrd in the sixteenth.
