Captured in the warm and radiant acoustic of the Lady Chapel of York Minster, this wide-ranging survey traces the ‘threads of gold’ weaving through the development of sacred choral works from immediately before the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1558–1603) to the early Jacobean period following – a period considered a Golden Age in English music.
With sacred works from the major composers of the second half of the 16th century, and the early years of the 17th – Thomas Tallis, William Byrd, Orlando Gibbons, and Thomas Tomkins – there are examples of Latin polyphonic motets, concise a capella anthems in both Latin and English, and more elaborate verse anthems with extensive solos and organ accompaniment.
The recording features several of the most well-known examples of church music from the period, including Ave Maria by Robert Parsons, Ave verum corpus by William Byrd, and arguably one of the most perfect and beautifully-simple pieces of music ever written, If ye love me by Thomas Tallis.
‘This is a radiant recording of glorious music, sung by a fine provincial English cathedral choir right at the top of its game.’ – Early Music Review (Threads of Gold Vol.1)
