William Byrd was the foremost English composer of the late-16th and early-17th centuries. A staunch Catholic, Byrd maintained a high profile while being closely associated with the Jesuits and other recusant Catholics. His motets commenting on the plight of English Catholics, as well as his music appropriate for the Jesuits' popular Forty Hours' Devotion, held special meaning in the context of the 1605 Gunpowder Plot--the famed failed assassination attempt against King James I.
The Tudor Choir presents an all-Byrd program of impassioned motets and serene devotional settings, including music for the Votive Mass of the Blessed Sacrament.
Joining the choir as narrator will be Marta Zekan, KING FM Arts Channel director and longtime KING FM staff announcer.
