For 大象传媒 Radio 3's 'Breaking Free - Martin Luther's Revolution' season, Sara Mohr-Pietsch visits the Chapel Royal at Hampton Court Palace to explore how church music and worship in England were affected by the Protestant Reformation. Sara features the music of Tudor composers Thomas Tallis, William Byrd and Thomas Morley who were forced to adapt their styles as the country oscillated between catholic and protestant monarchs, and she follows their legacy in the music of later musicians, Orlando Gibbons, Thomas Tomkins and Henry Purcell.
