Fantasias, Pavans and Galliards
by Jerome and Augustine Bassano
The Bassano family recorder consort stretched over several generations, originating with employment by Henry VIII in 1539, and continuing to serve successive monarchs, up until the Civil War.
Augustine Bassano came to London with his parents in 1539, at the age of about 13. He worked in the royal court as a recorder player and lutenist, as well as an accomplished composer, until his death in 1604.
Jerome Bassano was born in Barking in 1558, the second generation of his family to become a royal wind player. He worked up until the age of at least 72, being “the ancientest musician the king has.” He died a wealthy property owner in 1635, with several of his 12 children continuing the line.
Marion studied recorder, oboe, baroque oboe and piano at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. She has performed and recorded with many of the leading early music specialist orchestras, including English Baroque Soloists with John Eliot Garner, Academy of Ancient Music, English Concert and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. She is a versatile teacher at all levels from beginner to music colleges. She also directs recorder ensembles.
