English Motets: Uppsala Cathedral
29 June Sweden / Uppsala
During the English Renaissance, musical composition flourished but it was a time of great change fuelled by religious division. This programme traces music written by some of the English Renaissance masters over a period of 200 years, encompassing florid medieval-sounding pieces by Dunstaple and Sheryngham, intricately woven polyphonic works by Tallis and Byrd, and the beautiful simplicity of Gibbons and Tomkins.
