**His Majestys Sagbutts & Cornetts** is a British early music ensemble celebrated for bringing Renaissance and Baroque brass music to life with historically informed flair. Specializing in the rich, ceremonial sounds of period instruments like the sackbut (early trombone) and cornett (a hybrid wind instrument), the group dives deep into sacred works and courtly compositions from giants like Giovanni Gabrieli, Orlando Gibbons, and Orlande de Lassus. Their recordings, such as *1615 Gabrieli in Venice* and the *In Chains of Gold* series, showcase their knack for blending scholarly precision with vibrant performances, often spotlighting the glittering polyphony and antiphonal textures that defined 16th- and 17th-century European sacred music. Whether resurrecting forgotten motets or breathing fresh energy into ceremonial fanfares, they’re like a time machine for the ears—minus the ruff collars.
