About
16th century Englad was a place of much religious change. It was a dangerous and confusing time and it is a testament to their incredible skill and musical mastery that composers like Tallis and Byrd were able to produce such magnificent works in such troubled times. Their music left a lasting legacy, influencing some of our most celebrated 20th and 21st-century composers and surviving over half a millennium to be performed as widely today as they have ever been.
This album features some of the best-love classics of Tudor and Jacobean church music together with madrigals by Tallis, Byrd and Gibbons. They are performed alongside pieces of Britten, Tippett and MacMillan including the Five Spirituals for A Child of Our Time and the Choral Dances from Gloriana. The Sixteen has performed this repertoire around the world over the last six years and is one of the ensemble’s most popular concert programmes.
The complete programme will be released in 2013

An Immortal Legacy – The Sixteen, Harry Christophers
England in the sixteenth century was a place of much religious change. It was a dangerous and confusing time and it is testament to their incredible skill and musical mastery that composers such as Tallis and Byrd were able to produce such magnificent works in such troubled times. Their music left a lasting legacy, influencing some of our most celebrated twentieth- and twenty-first-century composers, and surviving over half a millennium to be performed as widely today as they have ever been.
This disc features some of the best-loved classics of Tudor and Jacobean church music together with madrigals by Tallis, Byrd, and Gibbons. They are performed alongside pieces by Britten, Tippett, and MacMillan, including the Five Spirituals from A Child of Our Time and the ‘Choral Dances’ from Gloriana. This is some of the ensemble’s most popular concert repertoire, which The Sixteen has performed around the world over the last six years.

Reviews
This programme is a cleverly interwoven hour of Elizabethan and Jacobean church music and madrigals with clearlines drawn through to Britten, Tippett and MacMillan. The singing is faultless, of course and effortlessly idiomatic
