The Tudors At Prayer brings together eight compositions from mid-sixteenth-century England, a period particularly rich in Latin sacred music, but also a time of vast religious and political upheaval. Although this collection of music spans barely more than a generation - the earliest work was probably composed in the 1530s and the latest in the 1570s - it is hard to imagine the changes that took place in English society (and by extension, English musical culture) during those forty years.
