  • Description

    This recording is dedicated to unaccompanied English church music, sung in the beautiful acoustic of the Lady Chapel of Ely Cathedral. The 23 motets and anthems are drawn from three key periods: the Reformation, in the 16th century; the Restoration, in the later 17th century; and the Anglican revival, in the mid-19th century.
