BBC Radio 3 - Composer of the Week, The Chapel Royal, Episode 2

Donald Macleod on the music at a royal party that took place at Kenilworth Castle in 1575.

Donald Macleod focuses on the music at a lavish royal party that took place at Kenilworth Castle in 1575. With works by Tallis, Sheppard, Blitheman and Byrd.

Donald Macleod rejoins the royal musicians in 1575 at Kenilworth Castle for what promises to be a three-week knees-up, a party so lavish that every partygoer will remember it like the Woodstock of his day. And despite their more heavenly inclinations, the singers prove remarkably adept at turning their skills to dramatic ends, not least the Master himself who lands a role as 'deviser' of musical entertainments.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
