Excerpt:
In Magdalen College Choir’s second collaboration with Fretwork, Bill Ives explores the rich Anglican repertoire of William Byrd. Well-known and much admired anthems such as Prevent us, O Lord and O Lord make thy servant, Elizabeth are interspersed with chamber works for organ, viols, and solo tenor (performed by Rogers Covey-Crump). Highlights include new reconstructions by Dr David Skinner of the Second Service, and a near-lost verse anthem in praise of Oriana herself, Queen Elizabeth I.
