A tantalising fusion of ancient and modern, ‘Byrdland’ explores the world of the Renaissance song accompanied by a modern-day saxophone quartet. All the songs on the disc were written by the great composers working in England in the 16th and 17th centuries. Recent recordings by artists as diverse as Sting and Brian Asawa have partnered the singer with the more traditional lute.

Tristram Fry (percussion)

Fine Arts Brass Ensemble

The splendour of royal occasions has inspired some of Britain's finest music. Composers such as Handel and Purcell had an incomparable feel for the expression of musical majesty. Others like John Dowland wrote serene music to "soothe the savage breast" and calm the nerves of anxious monarchs. But perhaps most important of all was the music for courtly dancing, a pastime enjoyed by polite society for the purpose of conversation, gossip and, of course, romancing.
