	King consort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		King consort is a title given in some monarchies to the husband of a Queen regnant.
		Accordingly, the husband of the reigning female monarch became monarch, and from this the denotation "King Consort" is a consequence.
		In some cases, the king thus ascended, remained king even after the death of the wife, and in some cases left the kingdom to their own heirs who were not issue of the wife in question (cf Władysław II Jagiełło of Poland, ascended as husband of Queen Jadwiga).

	Prince consort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A prince consort, generally speaking, is the husband of a Queen regnant, unless he himself is a king.
		Current examples include the Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (husband of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom), and Prince Henrik of Denmark (husband of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark).
		It is also not fully clear what would happen to the prince consort's title in the event that he were to outlive his wife, as this seems to have rarely occurred in the recorded annals of monarchy.

		The early part of Henry's reign, however, saw the young king invade France, defeat Scottish forces at the Battle of Foldden Field (in which James IV of Scotland was slain), and write a treatise denouncing Martin Luther's Reformist ideals, for which the pope awarded Henry the title "Defender of the Faith".
		The king moved away from the medieval idea of ruler as chief lawmaker and overseer of civil behavior, to the modern idea of ruler as the ideological icon of the state.

		Like Pickett, Robert King prefaces the Gloria proper with the non-liturgical solo motet, Jubilate, O amoeni chori (Vivaldi noted in the autograph, now in Turin, how the work was to be performed either with or without this introduzione, which leads directly into the first movement of the Gloria).
		King and Pickett, I think, see RV588 as a gentler work than its D major cousin, RV589, although I can't see that this is inherent in the music.Of the other pieces on the disc, the most substantial one is the virtuoso 23-minute Laudate pueri for soprano and orchestra.
		As ever with King's Consort recordings, the singers marginally outshine the instrumentalists, but this is still one of the most rewarding discs in this splendid series to date.

		In contrast the husband of a reigning queen is not called "King Consort"; rather, he is popularly called "Prince Consort".
		There have also been a number of cases when the Queen Consort of a deceased king (the Queen Dowager or Queen Mother) had served as regent while her child, the heir to the throne, was still a minor— for example, Catherine de Medici.
		Because queens consort lack an ordinal with which to distinguish between them, many historical texts and encyclopædias refer to deceased consorts by their pre-marital or maiden name or title, not by their marital royal title.

	BBC - Classical Review - The Coronation of King George II, King's Consort/Robert King
		By all contemporary accounts, the coronation of King George II and his Queen was a right royal mess of musical confusion with the wrong anthems being performed in the wrong places and sometimes not at all.
		Despite the 'historically uninformed' use of female voices, King's forces are in fine fettle in music of peerless pomp and circumstance.
		King opts for slower tempos than expected, illuminating every stately arpeggio in the opening instrumental prelude until the explosive entry of the voices.

	Canadian Journal of History: "I Am Her Majesty's Subject": Prince George of Denmark and the Transformation of ...
		George's relegation to a status subordinate to his wife was a glaring contradiction to prevailing contemporary social theory, yet an explanation for this occurrence is completely absent from the body of historical studies concerned with the Revolution of 1688/89 and the passage of the Act of Settlement of 1701.
		Once Anne became queen, with full access to male gendered political power, George failed to share his wife's social or political status as a king consort, as his wife had shared his status as princess of Denmark before her accession, and as the wives of kings shared their husband's royal status as queen consorts.
		Anne was a queen without a king, even though she had a spouse, who played the public but informal role of a loyal and obedient subject.

		Robert King (RK) is the founder and director of The King’s Consort (‘TKC’), and has gained a reputation for performing and recording less familiar Handel English oratorios.
		One of The King’s Consort's earliest discs for Hyperion was Joshua, which at the time had no decent recording at all, certainly not on period instruments.
		RK: The King’s Consort has always made an absolute priority to give really talented players and singers of the latest generation the chance to show themselves, and to learn - and there is no better way to learn than to stand alongside the greats.

		Robert King is certainly right in saying that the texts of these pieces aren't great poetry, but the music is divine (the usual flatttering of kings and nobles)!
		King and his team deliver an outstanding and important contribution to the Purcell discography.

		The salubrious accompaniment of the Harp Consort, under the direction of Andrew Lawrence King ("consort" is a period term for an ensemble), sets the stage, as it were, for the unfolding of either courtly and elegant polyphony, or a display of rustic and passionate bravura.
		The six King's Singers, who, with the presence of two countertenors, are able to render the full spectrum of vocal ranges, have one of the most immediately recognizable sounds.

	SA-CD.net - Boccherini/d'Astorga: Stabat Mater - King's Consort/Robert King
		The dolorous opening chords of this lovely disc emerge from absolute silence in Stereo SACD (don't worry, it is a multi-channel disc) and, throughout, the recording is unobtrusively at the service of the music.
		With the exception of the lovely soprano duet, "Eia Mater", in which there is a moment of congestion, voices are as well handled and as natural sounding as the King's Consort's instruments.
		If there is any slight criticism of the recording it is that the reverberation of the lower-pitched instruments detracts a little from the upper-pitch attack which the piece itself needs and, here, slightly lacks.

	Trio Sonatas by Robert King at jsbach.org
		The music is made even more approachable by the wonderfully clear and succinct notes by Robert King in which he explains the choice of instruments, often for individual movements.
		Any one of them contains a core from which a concerto or larger-scale piece might be derived from (as is the case of the second movement used in both BWV 527/BWV 1044), yet they are SO effective and convincing in a small chamber setting they really don't need it.
		Bravo to Robert King and his Consort of fabulous players, this one's a keeper.
