Delphian regulars the Choir of Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge explore the fascinating relationship between sixteenth- and early twentieth-century music as understood by the pioneers of the Tudor revival in England. Centred on Byrd's Mass for Five Voices - revelatory and influential listening for a whole host of later composers - this mosaic of re-workings, re-imaginings and lovingly crafted homage is brought to life with all the scholarly acumen and full-throated fervor that we have come to expect from one of Britain's finest choirs.
