Madrigals and Ayres - 1632

Album by Walter Porter & The Consort of Musicke

Madrigals and Ayres is a 1632 collection of vocal music by English composer Walter Porter. Musically it sits at the cusp of late Renaissance and early Baroque practice in England, blending polyphonic madrigal textures with simpler ayres for solo voice accompanied by lute or basso continuo, and reflects Porter's engagement with both courtly and ecclesiastical vocal traditions in the early Stuart era.
