    Richard Dering (c. 1580-1630) - Fantasia a 5 - After 1612
    An English composer that lived most his life in the Spanish Low Countries (Belgium), it is known that Daring travelled to Italy around 1612, visiting Venice and Rome. From 1612-16 he travelled with the Ambassador of England to the Republic of Venice, Sir Dudley Carleton, 1st Viscount Dorchester.
    It is also known that Dering visited Florence and then lived for a time at the English College in Rome, a seminary for English Catholic priests. A letter from Sir Dudley Carleton to Sir John Harington, 2nd Baron Harington of Exton dated 25 June 1612 makes reference to Harington's servant, a "Mr Dearing" [sic] who was considering "going over" to the Catholic faith. Around this time, Richard Dering's style of composition is considered to have undergone a sharp change, adopting a more Italianate style
    I assume (this is only my suspicion as a keen observer) that Daring may have visited St. Mark Basilica and/or the Venetian confraternity 'Scuola Grande di S Rocco and had contact with the style of Giovanni Gabrieli or Giovanni Battista Grillo (Grillo's Canzon Terza from 1618 comes to mind) . The begining of this piece makes it almost too obvious.
    Thus It is very apparent in this superb instrumental Fantasia the influence of the Venetian musical style, the English style and his own inventiveness with which he was able, even without words, to steer the music’s course in clever and surprising ways. His imagination runs modal riot and he is able to use chromatic turns, false relations, and repeated motifs to delight the ear of the listener.
