However, he was an English musician and composer, particularly associated with the viol, and all of his surviving works seem to have been viol consort or solo pieces for viol. After the siege of the city of York, he was sheltered by Sir Robert Boles, Lord of Skempton, Lincolnshire, and became a musician attached to Boles' estate. Lord Bolls reportedly hired him as a music teacher for his son. His famous book, The DivisionViolist, has remained in print for 60 years and is one of the sources of modern orthodoxy in old-time music performance.However, few of his works are extant, and this piece, which has been handed down in draft form, is one of the few. This collection of fantasias is composed for two voices each of treble viol and bass viol, as well as for basso continuo instruments. Each of the \"Seasons\" is written in a three-movement form of fancy, aire, and galliarde, and is not really a title piece that conjures up the four seasons. The music just flows along with the time, which is a slow flutter. The lyrical performance by the Sirius Viols is unforgettable.
