The songs and consort pieces on this recording have one thing in common: they were all written for domestic performance, and they therefore cover a wide range of social activity in the seventeenth century. But while music was available to all classes, all classes of music were not available to everyone. It is highly improbable that the average farm labourer for instance would have heard Matthew Locke's elegant 'Little Consorts', written, as they were, for 'Several Friends'.
