This seasonal programme features early English composers at their most unbuttoned and celebratory, with music written for the famously festive Stuart court. Alongside these are more intimate, introspective works by golden age of English composers Byrd, Gibbons, Weelkes, and Bull, that give a glimpse of their colourful personal lives.

“This project is lots of things: beautiful, intimate, and peaceful, but also fun, silly and a bit raucous at times! It really captures life at the Stuart Court, which was famous for its big, bawdy celebrations (especially around Christmas), but of course it also was home to many composers writing really sublime music. We’re joined for this programme with a chamber organ that provides a bit of that Festive sparkle too!” (Rory McCleery, The Marian Consort’s founder and director).
