Beneath A Pale Moon is the debut album from BLOCK4.

Formed in 2012, BLOCK4 is a British-European professional recorder quartet, presenting a dynamic approach to contemporary consort music as well as offering a captivating interpretation of music from the Renaissance and Baroque periods.

BLOCK4 is passionate about sharing the recorder’s diverse repertoire with a wide audience, and performs in all types of venues – in recent years the ensemble has been spotted in concert halls, museums, churches, schools, pubs, clubs, and libraries, among many others. In addition to concerts, BLOCK4 leads outreach work throughout the UK and frequently gives workshops for young recorder players, for those new to the instrument, and for both mainstream and SEND schools.

Beneath A Pale Moon features music by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Matthew Olyver, Francisco Guerrero, Michael Praetorius, Andrew Crossley, Tarquino Merula, Michiel Mensingh, Wojtek Blecharz and arrangements of anonymous folk and medieval tunes. The CD booklet contains an accompanying story by Essa Flett.
