Trinity Carol Roll

Catherine Bott visits the Wren Library in Cambridge to look at the Trinity Carol Roll, one of the earliest sources of English polyphonic carols, with David Skinner and Alamire.

Catherine Bott is in Cambridge for a look at the Trinity Carol Roll, one of the earliest sources of English polyphonic carols. She visits the Wren Library where the manuscript is kept and talks about the music and the significance of the collection with David Skinner who has recently recorded it all with his group Alamire.
The thirteen works preserved in this manuscript include the patriotic 'Agincourt' carol, celebrating Henry V's victory over the French in 1415, and the most famous of all early English carols 'Ther is no rose'.
