Tallis Scholars, Peter Phillips

“Of all the polyphony we have recorded, this early English style with its dazzling high treble parts and luminous sonorities is, for me, as good as it gets. Henry VIII would have known this sound from childhood and may well have included some of the music recorded here at his Coronation.” Peter Phillips

Gabrieli Consort, Paul McCreesh

A cappella choral music by English composers of the 16th is contrasted with works by 20th-century composers – this unique programme depicts the desire for spiritual enlightenment that was the driving force behind the medieval pilgrimage. In medieval times, making a pilgrimage to a holy place was the ambition of many Christians, for whom it was regarded as the symbolic enactment of a lifetime’s journey to a sacred resting place, undertaken through considerable physical effort.
