Description

Pastime with Good Company, also known as "The King's Ballad" is an English folk song reputably written by King Henry VIII in the 16th century. It became a popular song during the Renaissance. The reign of Henry VIII marked a distinctive character of extravagance at the English court, with royal banquets and feasts held on a continual basis, as were outdoor sports such as hunting, jousting and archery tournaments. The young King was a skilled sportsman who excelled in horse riding, archery, wrestling and real tennis. This song represents a general praise to all these entertainments and diversions.

“One of the all time great brass recordings OF ALL TIME”

“Many recordings over the last few decades have demonstrated the superb quality of British brass playing; 'Under the Spell of Spain' will rightfully take its place among them.”

“Another impressive offering then from Superbrass, and a worthy successor to their excellent debut disc”

“Brilliant technique and superb artistry from all concerned.”

“Exploding onto the brass music scene with their debut album ‘Under the Spell of Spain’, the depth of versatility and virtuosity within the ranks of Superbrass has firmly secured it's place as one of the greatest large brass ensembles of all time”
