Sacred music from the Tudor Period, the early English Renaissance. 

The programme is centered around Missa Tecum principium. It is perhaps the most beautiful work by Robert Fayrfax, especially the final Agnus Dei movement. The mass is interlaced with excellent pieces by other masters of the English Renaissance: Byrd, Farrant, Ferrabosco, Tallis og Tye.

Thomas Tallis (1505-1585) Blessed are those that be undefiled in the way
