Christophers:The Sixteen - Voice Of The Turtle Dove

The Sixteen returns to its grass roots for the repertoire of the 14th Choral Pilgrimage tour as it revisits the golden age of Renaissance polyphony in England. In this new programme The Sixteen presents a stunning selection of music by John Sheppard, Richard Davy and William Mundy including Sheppard's magnificent Gaude, gaude, gaude Maria, and gem of the Tudor period Libera nos; Davy's monumental O Domine caeli terraeque creator which was written in one day at Magdalen College, Oxford; and Mundy's great antiphon Vox patris caelestis.
