Anne Boleyn, the most notorious of Henry VIII's six wives, was brought up under the guardianship of Margaret of Austria - patron to some of the most famous composers in all of Europe - and then in the French court, where a collection of her favourite music was assembled in a book that she probably kept until her execution in 1536. Alamire explores the contents of this collection, which includes works by some of the greatest composers of the early 16th century: Comp猫re, Brumel, Mouton and Josquin. The programme concludes with a haunting setting of O Deathe Rock Me Asleep, possibly linked to Anne's fate as she awaited her execution in the Tower of London.
