Exploring Renaissance masterpieces from the Golden Age of polyphony in England.

During the renaissance, musical composition flourished, but it was a time of great change, fueled by religious division. This programme traces music written by some of the English Renaissance masters over a period of two-hundred years, encompassing florid medieval-sounding works Sheppard and Forest, intricately woven polyphonic works by Tallis and Byrd, and the beautiful simplicity of Tomkins and White.
