Stuart Kings in Catholic France, 1688 -
This programme examines the music written for performance in royal chapels in foreign lands. It presents music of the second half of the 17th century associated with Catholic queens in England, and the Stuart monarchy in France; the first in religious exile, the second in political. Here is music written by English composers to Latin texts (clearly never intended for the Protestant liturgy), music written to the celebrated Biblical account of exile in Exodus (Super flumina Babylonis), and music written for the exiled Stuart Court in France at St Germain en Laye.
The concert will be relayed on the BBC Early Music Show on 13 July
Tickets: £20 reserved central nave, unreserved seats £15 side aisles and balcony (£13 concessions) from:
