Beautiful English Renaissance vocal music from the time of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. Selections sung in Latin and English.
The early music ensemble The Forces of Virtue displays the wealth of important music from the Renaissance and the Baroque, with an emphasis on neglected sacred and dramatic compositions of the 15th through 18th Centuries. The Forces of Virtue, founded in 2003 by director Alexander Bonus, structures its programs to reflect contemporary life, issues, and culture, proving that great art of the past can have profound relevance to modern society.
The name of the ensemble is drawn from the opera la Forza della Virta by Baroque composer Reinhard Keiser. This namesake also embodies the tenets of The Forces of Virtue; that art can be a force for good and a catalyst for positive change, educating audiences, enriching lives, creating stronger communities, while stimulating thought and action.
Elizabeth I :Ruler and Legend, released in November 2003, is the debut recording by The Forces of Virtue. The CD (FVE 4293), intended as the musical companion to the largest North American exhibit ever created to honor Elizabeth I, features the world premiere recording of "Nil maius", a 1527 political motet dedicated specifically to her father Henry VIII. |
