From Merton College, Oxford, Catherine Bott presents Stile Antico in Tudor and Jacobean sacred music written for domestic performance rather than for liturgical use.
Live from Merton College, Oxford
Presented by Catherine Bott
In this concert renowned vocal ensemble Stile Antico perform Tudor and Jacobean sacred music written for domestic performance rather than for liturgical use in church. Composed at a time of religious turmoil following Henry VIII's break from Rome, it's music that reflects the troubled times, intended to inspire piety and affirm faith, whether that faith was Protestant or Catholic. Taken from collections brought together for devotion at court or in private homes and written by some of the great names in Renaissance music it's a chronological journey through this largely neglected repertoire.
