John and Henry Playford were the compilers of the best-selling \"English Dancing Master,\" published in 1651. The book was published in 1728, and was expanded to three volumes (with many editions in each volume). The score contained only the melody, leaving the chords and basses to the improvisation and taste of the performer. The Playfords, a period instrument ensemble founded in Weimar in 2001 and named after the composer, is known for its playful approach to such music, bringing ancient butoh music back to life in the modern age. The new album by The Playfords evokes the joys of life in the English countryside, much of it centered around the pleasures of cooking and eating.The ensemble evokes rustic country life by blending English dances by the \"English Dancing Master,\" English Renaissance ballads and lute music by Thomas Campion and Tobias Hume, and historical folk songs in the ensemble's own arrangements. The collection includes such delightful traditional tunes as \"Nutmegs and Ginger,\" \"Lumps of Pudding,\" and \"Cook's Humour,\" which thematize the joys of cooking with wit and ambiguity. Songs like \"The Merry Merry Milkmaids\" evoke a cheerful escape to the countryside, while Tobias Hume's \"Tobacco\" is a tribute to the exotic pleasures of the time. I will give my love an apple\" speaks of the power of love through the hidden symbolism of fruit, while \"The Glory of the Kitchen\" celebrates the importance of good cooking.Playford's meticulous research and passion for unusual music is reflected in each piece.
