About Alamire
Alamire (not to be confused with the American ensemble Capella Alamire) is a vocal consort whose focus has been medieval and Renaissance-era music. The group generally emphasizes sacred music rather than secular. Alamire was founded in London in 2005 by David Skinner. 2007 was the year of Alamire's first recordings; among them was a disc entitled Philippe Verdelot: Madrigals for a Tudor King. In 2011, Alamire began a project to release 30 albums of English church music over the following ten years. In 2015, it earned the Gramophone Award for Early Music for The Spy's Choirbook. Alamire recorded a pair of albums devoted to publications of music by William Byrd; Byrd 1588: Psalmes, Sonets & Songs of sadnes and pietie appeared in 2021, and Byrd 1589: Songs of sundrie natures followed in 2023.
