There Were Three Ravens. Songs, Rounds and Catches by Thomas Ravenscroft

“Harmony to please, varietie to delight, facilitie to invite thee…” In the preface of his collection of songs Pammelia, the excentric Thomas Ravenscroft praises the power of profane music, even more cheerful when sung among good friends! The Consort of Musicke, featuring notably Emma Kirkby and Paul Agnew, offers a nice florilegium of vocal pieces including the hits There Were Three Ravens and Three Country Dances in One.
