Overview
Robert Fayrfax, incorporated as a Doctor of Music in Oxford in 1511, was among the musicians who travelled with Henry VIII to France in 1520 to demonstrate England’s prowess at the Field of Cloth of Gold.
The King’s considerable skills as a composer are recognised in this concert, which also displays the technical brilliance of Fayrfax’s Missa ‘Regali ex progenie’ and the forward-looking choral textures of his motet Lauda vivi alpha.
