The Eight Symphonies

Album by William Boyce & Bournemouth Sinfonietta & Ronald Thomas

The Eight Symphonies is a set of orchestral works by English composer William Boyce, published in 1760. They mix Italianate influences and Baroque contrapuntal textures within an emerging classical idiom, and they come from the period when Boyce moved from church and theatre music into instrumental composition.
