Live from St.John's College Cambridge

Presented by Louise Fryer

This concert, which is part of Cambridge Summer Music, puts the music of Elizabethan composer William Byrd firmly in the context of his colleagues and friends. In what was a golden age for English music, Byrd and Thomas Tallis wrote music for the Protestant church despite both having strong Catholic sympathies, and Byrd co-wrote the psalm setting In exitu Israel with John Sheppard and William Mundy. Robert Parsons was Byrd's predecessor as Organist of Lincoln Cathedral and Alfonso Ferrabosco was an exotic spy-composer and both of them had an impact on Byrd's own compositions. The Cardinall's Musick is known for its extensive study of English Renaissance music, winning Recording of the Year at the 2010 Gramophone Awards for a recording of William Byrd's latin music.
