Musical Delights at the Court of Elizabeth I of England; or, an anthology of polyphonic music in two, three, and four parts performed by a consort of dulcians, lute, harpsichord, and the human voice. Elizabeth I, crowned in 1558, extended her long reign until 1603 and supported England during a fortunate and important period in its history—politically, religiously, commercially, and culturally. Like her father, Henry VIII, she loved music, playing the lute and lyre herself and surrounding herself with up to 70 musicians at court. Music was often associated with the theatrical performances of geniuses such as Shakespeare and Marlow. The dulciana (curtal) was introduced to England in the first three decades of the 16th century, likely by the Venetians Bassano, inventors of an instrument: the bassone corto (curtal), as can already be seen in two inventories from 1542 and 1547 dating back to the court of Henry VIII: "...13 short instruments caulked Dulceuses..." In the 16th century, many documents testify to the use of this instrument in England, which was integrated into wind instrumental groups (Waits), similar to other similar ensembles on the European continent, and intended for use at court and in public ceremonies. The refined sound of the dulciana in its various sizes used here—bass, but also soprano, contralto, and tenor—ideally complements both the voice and instruments essential to harmony and counterpoint, such as the lute and harpsichord. Most English composers of the time wrote vocal and instrumental music for both sacred and secular use. In so-called consort music, it was common practice to perform polyphonic pieces for four or more voices with a homogeneous ensemble of instruments. This is a rare sound document that illustrates their timbre on dulcians. Also of interest is the possibility of performing some fantasias for two basses, originally intended for the viola d'gamba, on the dulcian, which offers a sound that highlights the singable and melancholic component but also the rhythmic and witty one typical of the flexibility of this wind instrument, a forerunner of the modern bassoon.
The timbral refinement of the different musical ensembles present on this disc is enhanced by the extraordinary quality of the recording, carried out in the large Velut Luna studios in Preganziol using high-resolution digital technology.

Feels soft!
Color: Black, Size: 4X-Large
The fabric is great, as is the weight, fit, color. It covers the backside and doesn’t bulge around the hip. Would love to see it in several colors!

Really great quality and fit for the price
Color: Navy Blue, Size: Large
These tank tops are beautifully cut, the colors are great, the fabric is stretchy and comfortable and they don’t look at all cheap. A very welcome surprise that they exceeded expectations. I spend the entire summer in slim fit tanks and A-line skirts with a jean jacket or shirt over and ended up buying practically every color because I like them so much - can pair them with much more high end items and they don’t look out of place.

Super soft, nice material and you'll want a few of these!
Color: Black, Size: Medium
I’ve been really happy with this ANRABESS ribbed V-neck tank overall. It fits snug, and the material is soft, stretchy, and lightweight, which makes it perfect for warmer weather or layering it. The ribbed texture and V-neck give it a slightly more polished look than a basic tank, so it’s easy to dress up or keep casual with jeans or shorts. I’ve found it to be comfortable for all-day wear, and it holds its shape well after washing. I really like the wider shoulder material which covers my bra strap well. Fit-wise, it runs pretty true to size, although I could see sizing up if someone prefers a less fitted look. One thing to note is that lighter colors may be a bit more sheer depending on what you wear underneath. Overall, it’s a simple, versatile tank that didn't break my bank so it's worth it. In the winter I'll probably wear it under the majority of my shirts. I'm absolutely planning on ordering more colors.

Perfect flattering tank
Color: Hot Pink, Size: Large
These are the best tank tops! No gaping arm holes. The tank gives some coverage on the sides and under the arms so it conceals any problem spots. The back neckline is higher than most tanks so the straps are a perfect flattering length for me. I'm under 5'3 with a short torso so it's rare to find a tank that doesn't require shortening the straps. The V-neck is wide and hits at the perfect spot, not too high to be awkward looking but not so low that I'm flashing people at dinner. The fabric is light- medium weight. Not so sheer that it looks cheap but not thick enough for the white to be opaque. These are well made and hold their shape after washing and drying and come in a ton of colors. I have several and will buy more.
