The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

An investigation through reconstruction of early-Tudor methods of performing and improvising polyphony for organ and choir. The concept for the CD co-devised with Geoffrey Webber. I performed organ music for tracks 3, 5, 7 and 10; and composed organ music in Tudor style for tracks 5, 7 and 10. Contents of the CD featured in a BBC Radio 3 broadcast (In Tune, 25 June 2015: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02vkr8g/p02vkpsr) and in a public performance to MPs and peers in the Palace of Westminster on 30 June 2015.
