Martin Peerson

As an organist and virginalist quite active in London, Peerson’s music compositions are informed by key pad strategies and idiosyncrasies. He had written instrumental and vocal music however the transfer of his functions will be the experimental techniques he attempted including dissonances, and uncommon chord progressions, arrangements and harmonies. Formal buildings at the hands of Peerson had been also pushed towards the limits lately sixteenth and early seventeenth hundred years music. Peerson could be valued for his efforts within his two books of secular vocal parts where he synthesizes six vocal parts with areas of the ayre, madrigal, consort tune, verse anthems and instrumental accompaniment. The next book is certainly indicative of Peerson’s very own view with sober and somber anthems attained, partly, with unusually low shades in the bass voicings. This last mentioned book can be the first British collection released with thought bass.
