Summary
Andrew Parrott and his Taverner Choir and Players turn to music of their namesake alongside works by his contemporary King Henry VIII, an exceptionally musical monarch, as well as two composers of the previous generation, William Cornysh and Hugh Ashton. This recording takes its lead from the unashamedly secular character of the work and ventures beyond the chapel door to explore the parallel world of courtly vernacular song and instrumental music
