Cinquecento

Normally the admired ensemble specializing in 16th-century repertoire devotes itself to Austrian works, but here it turns its attention to England and the rupture in liturgical music caused by the Reformation, as composers had to change style according to whether their monarch was Catholic or Protestant.
