John Coprario (ca 1575-1626) Fantasia à 4 ex C Viol Consort

Bass, Tenor and Treble Viol do form this viol consort, (My Lu-Mi consort).
Pictures are from Elizabethan mansions, where the music might have been performed and consort pictures from this glorious consort period.
John Cooper (around 1570 - 1626), also known as Giovanni Coprario or Coperario, was an English composer, viol player and lutenist.

Thank you for that relaxing and enjoyable music. The pictures are an added bonus as I always enjoy old paintings of musicians, much appreciated.

All the best.
