Synopsis

Album Description

Music from a turning point in history .... the short-lived marriage between Mary Tudor and Philip II of Spain, although barren and doomed, resulted in a glorious flowering of Anglo-Spanish music which saw the greatest musicians from the two nations meeting and working together. The music for a flamboyant Christmas Day ceremony in St. Paul's Cathedral in 1554 was a celebratory focal point of an extraordinary resurgence of the Catholic faith in England, fuelled by hopes, soon to be dashed, that Mary was pregnant.

"Very inspirational. I did not even know this exist today until it was program on a radio late night. Then I bought tree Cd;s from them. What a beautiful harmony every second. I meditate on with this music of the human voices. It cuts deep into my soul. Enlightening. Life is AH.."
