Directed by Stephen Darlington, the ensemble combines historical awareness with polished vocal technique to perform music from across the choral repertoire. The choir regularly features instrumentalists and soloists in its programmes; this recording includes contributions from Libby Burgess (organ) and Victoria Davies (harp). Their performances are known for clarity of texture, blend and an informed approach to period style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Tudor Christmas presents a programme of sacred and secular Tudor music drawn from the 16th century, featuring works associated with Henry VIII, William Byrd, Thomas Tallis, Christopher Tye and others. The recording showcases both carols and liturgical pieces performed by the choir in a historically sympathetic manner, offering over an hour of music. Released by The Gift of Music (Classical Communications Ltd) in 2004, the album aims to evoke the seasonal and ceremonial atmosphere of Tudor-era Christmas celebrations. The selection balances familiar carols with lesser-known consort pieces and choral works to give a broad picture of Tudor festive music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDirected by Stephen Darlington with Libby Burgess, organ and Victoria Davies, harp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver 1 hour of music.
