The Brooklyn four-piece ATTACCA QUARTET channel the joy of music and creativity and the excitement of being physically together again on their upcoming Sony Classical album Of All Joys set for release November 5 and available now for preorder.  The album features their original take on great works from both the Minimalist movement and the Renaissance era. Today, they share the first single, "Weep, O Mine Eyes," their own version of English composer John Bennet's famous madrigal. Peaceful and meditative, the plaintive, melancholic strings conjure a deep stillness, and a sense of majesty.

Taken from the upcoming album Of All Joys – the title of which is an adapted lyric in John Dowland's beloved madrigal "Flow my Tears" that the quartet have arranged and featured – the first single "Weep, O Mine Eyes" was chosen for both its beauty, and its legacy. "We wanted to point out the direct lineage of the madrigal from Luca Marenzio to Bennet and to Dowland, and its history concurrent with secular music," says violinist Domenic Salerni. "They are no less spiritual or enlightened than works created for strict ecclesiastical use."

    Grammy award-winning Attacca Quartet, as described by The Nation, "lives in the present aesthetically, without rejecting the virtues of the musical past", and it is this dexterity to glide between the music of the 18th through to 21st century living composer's repertoire that has placed them as one of the most versatile and outstanding ensembles of the moment – a quartet for modern times. Touring exten...

    Sequenza 21 writes.....Kronos Quartet excepted, there have been a lot of really bad arrangements of pop music for string quartet. Part of the problem is that the arrangers of these covers attempt to translate a medium that involves amplification, electronics, and a flexible sense of rhythm into straight notation for acoustic ensemble. Attacca Quartet's Real Life, on the other hand, sees the opportunity f...
