The Siege of Newark, arranged for 4 Violas

This is a rumbustious «Battle» piece written in the mid 17th century for viols and violins. It celebrates the Royalist victory in the English Civil War outside the town of Newark, and has graphic portrayal of cavalry charges, trumpet calls, musket and canon, wounded soldiers and victory celebrations. Plenty of action in all the parts, and an editorial commentary which can be read aloud during the performance...
