The term "Division Musick" is a typical English fascinating and virtuoso art of diminution which is presented on this CD. The word "division" comes from English and means "divided." The English Arts Division is thus an originally improvised Diminutionspraxis in which a piece of music is broken down into smaller and smaller note values. Short repeated bass melodies - as the basis for these diminutions especially "Grounds" were used in England. This division practice was performed by singers, keyboard players, brass and strings, but the viola da gamba was the favorite instrument. The "divide-Musick" program gives an insight into this world of old English virtuosity
