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.

So soft and amazing quality
Color: 12 - Light Beige, Size: Twin
I can't tell you if they're cooling or not yet. The weather took a turn for the cold so I haven't put them on the bed yet. But the quality..omg it's exceptional! These are insanely soft! Not slippery like satin but not scratchy like percale. They're like the best of both worlds..light as satin but nicely weighty like percale. I don't know what kind of sorcery this is but these are literally better than those 6-zillion count Egyptian cotton sheets that cost more than the GDP of a small nation. These are exceptional!! Soft as butter but still feel like they'll last a while and not let you fall out of bed like silk lol. When you fold them, they snap nicely. They seem to have a lived in look..like they'll never be utterly wrinkle-free but who cares..they're smooth, soft and supposed to be cooling. I never thought I'd find anything more comfortable than cotton sheets but these are even better. The colors are ok. Pretty basic but they are true to life..some others look different online than when you get them..not these colors online are accurate. This was a great deal and I'd recommend a thousand times over!

The softest sheets ever! 💙
Color: 05 - Dusty Blue, Size: Queen, Color: 05 - Dusty Blue, Size: Queen
This sheets quality feels great! It feels a little heavy but comfortable. I love the way it just drops. It feels cool to the touch, and so so gently on my skin! I previous had gotten a 100% cotton sheets from this same brand and it feels soooo rough on my skin, but this one is great! Best money spent! Bamboo material! I'm never going back! I got the dusty blue, in the photo is looks gray because of light but I love the blue color, it looks great!

Comfy, cool
Color: 01 - Dark Grey, Size: Queen
This is my first time buying rayon/ bamboo sheets, and now I finally see what I've been missing. Very comfortable, soft, and feel really nice against the skin. Nice for this price point too. I took off one star because they do tend to wrinkle quickly, so I have to readjust them every night before going to bed. Also be aware that oil from your skin and hair products tend to stain them very quickly, and the stains are not easy to get out. But I'm ok with that as a trade-off for the comfort!

Color: 01 - Dark Grey, Size: Queen
Queen. Grey. Beautiful. Nice snug fit. Feels like silk. Super comfortable, soft, almost buttery. And truly cooling fabric. The price point is a steal. I will be ordering these sheets in all the colors. P.S. these sheets also laundered beautifully. I’m very very pleased with this purchase.
