The Canterbury Songs

Be transported to the fairytale-like Canterbury. We are writing 16th-century England. A landscape so breathtaking that it already inspired medieval writer Geoffrey Chaucer around 1400 to write his famous work The Canterbury Tales. The birthplace, moreover, of some of the greatest English Renaissance composers, Orlando Gibbons, Thomas Tallis and John Ward. Based on Chaucer's epic book, Renaissance specialist Peter Phillips, founder of The Tallis Scholars, brings their finest madrigals and motets to life with the Netherlands Chamber Choir. Works interwoven with newly written miniature compositions by English composer William Knight.
