Last yr, for the 400th anniversary of the death of William Byrd, I asked @kieran_brunt to write new music inspired by Byrd. The result was his glorious Facta est deserta... and then he only went and wrote a whole album in tribute to Byrd - out this month shardsvoices.bandcamp.com/album/byrd-song

So pleased with this production ☺️ massive shout-out to composer @alexjosephmills whose beautiful interludes for Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater helped us to explore, express, and emphasise the text’s universal and moving themes, most importantly: compassion for others 🙏

We love to hear this. Growth is the key to a sustainable future for the early music sector - and growth requires investment and publicity. Continuo focuses on supporting in these two areas, leaving artists free to create!🎶

George Jeffreys was born around 1610 and composed English sacred music that sounds like it could have been written in Rome or Venice. A lost voice in English music history - until now. youtu.be/I0MUUDGXNzw?si… @solomonsknot @EnglishHeritage @Clerkenwill

This Friday I’m performing again in ‘Echolocate’, an evening of music in the dark, curated by Michael Sharp. I’ve written a new choral piece; it’s part spoken word and part music – bit of an experiment! Also inc. Waba, @RosieTurton, and Mathilde Bataillé. ra.co/events/1790637…
