Stile Antico

The long reign of Elizabeth I saw an unparalleled flourishing of musical composition. Elizabeth's personal patronage of William Byrd and Thomas Tallis, her attempts at religious tolerance, and her own love of music created an environment for a 'golden age' of music. Stile Antico explores the events of Elizabeth's life and reign; from antiphons recalling the glories of Henry VIII's Catholic court, to virtuosic madrigals using the latest continental innovations to praise the 'Virgin Queen', the programme celebrates the rich musical legacy of Elizabeth I.
