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.
