Singing in Secret: Clandestine Catholic Music By William Byrd

In the turbulent religious climate of Elizabethan England William Byrd wrote - and, more audaciously, published - a huge amount of music for the Catholic rite, for services which he and his fellow Catholics had to celebrate clandestinely, in the private houses and chapels of sympathetic noblemen. The cloistered intimacy of those occasions is reflected in The Marian Consort's performances here, and their programme also explores the more coded ways in which Byrd was able to express his faith and his commitment to the recusant cause.
