成人快手 Singers at the Norfolk and Norwich Festival

The 成人快手 Singers, their principal guest conductor Owain Park and saxophonist Christian Forshaw perform at the Norfolk and Norwich Festival, featuring music by William Byrd.

The 成人快手 Singers collaborate with saxophonist Christian Forshaw in a sequence of contemplative settings, directed by the group's principal guest conductor, Owain Park. The programme takes a journey from the origins of choral singing, with ancient chant by religious polymath Hildegard von Bingen, through to contemporary reworkings of polyphonic gems by Tallis and Mouton. To commemorate his 400th anniversary year, this programme highlights the music of William Byrd, one of the foremost composers of the Renaissance in Europe.

Recorded in the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, Norwich on 26th May 2023.

Presented by Andrew McGregor.
