The Cardinall's Musick; Andrew Carwood _director

Marian devotion and mysticism touched countless lives in late medieval England, inspiring Robert Fayrfax and musicians such as William Cornysh and Walter Lambe to create some of their finest works.

This concert also explores Tudor dynastic politics in the form of Fayrfax’s votive antiphon Aeternae laudis lilium, almost certainly commissioned by Henry VIII’s mother, Elizabeth of York.
