Nairn Book & Arts Festival: The Musick Fyne Soloists

Inverness Fragments

The enterprising Highland ensemble under their director D James Ross perform music for voices from the Inverness Fragments, a fascinating manuscript preserving church music composed at the Inverness Sangscule in the 1540s.

Providing a unique window on music-making in Renaissance Inverness, the reconstructed music includes hauntingly beautiful processionals and choral music for the elaborate celebration of Palm Sunday.

The Musick Fyne Soloists will perform this intriguing local repertoire in a context of the finest choral music from the Scottish Golden Age, including the Missa Pater Creator omnium of 1546 by Scotland’s finest 16th-century composer, Robert Carver.
