The inspiration of “La Volta” is the performance practice of music and compositions from the Elizabethan period, specifically Thomas Morley’s “First Book of Consort Lessons” (1599), the most significant publication for broken consort during the Renaissance.

Black Pencil’s own arrangements of a number of consort pieces are being combined with new works by Klaas de Vries, Roderik de Man, Oene van Geel and David Dramm – each composer taking a very personal view on the Broken Consort music.
