VIVID Consort Debut CD

Bitter Fruit CD Production

VIVID Consort calling out for brave adventurer! Join us on our journey of creating «Bitter Fruit» ! #earlypopmusic

• Debut Album «Bitter Fruit»

«Pastime with good company, I love and shall unto I die…»

The album title «Bitter Fruit», inspired by the symbolic meaning of lemon in Renaissance art: pleasure of life, nature, fidelity in love, a bitter heart, unresolved conflict…

«…I weep, I sigh, I grieve and groan! Yet she regardeth not my moan…» «Bitter Fruit» celebrates life, nature and love in it’s wicked, various forms. It presents a collection of secular music from England and France, showing the beauty and the drama of renaissance era polyphony, with lyrics that feature the alluring tension between joy and sorrow, loved and unloved, life and death… a mixture of melancholic and uplifting songs delivered by recorders and voices.
